Hu-Kou is a tea set ideal for an on-the-go lifestyle or having a tea party in the park. The handcrafted set is equipped with a silicone carrying case to keep the ceramic pieces safe while traveling to one's tea-sipping destination. Designers from Xiong&Yang focused their tea set on traditions and details oriented around tea drinking.
The Hu-Kou tea set allows users to brew the hot beverage according to the type of tea used, making for a perfect brew anywhere the user goes. The set includes a carrying case, a tea bowl, and three teacups molded to feel ergonomic by design. Hu-Kou's tea bowl is shaped like a triangle with a built-in spout to allow the user to pour directly from the bowl without removing the lid.
