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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-ji) molded to feel ergonomic by design.
