It may be called a cage, but please don't think that it is to prevent you from accessing your treasured cups, it is rather for protecting them, or at least storing them in a less than casual way. After all, the Art of tea is as much about the appreciation of beautifully-crafted objects than it is is about gratifying the palate and nose. Handcrafted in our neighboring County called Zhushan (Bamboo Mountain) from locally-sourced, responsably-managed bamboo forests, this item is a jewel of precision wood craftsmanship. Wonderful to gift, as wonderful to receive. Gift Boxed. Handcrafted in Taiwan. If you are planning to combine some cups with one of the cage models and are unsure if it would fit, or how many you can house inside, please don't hesitate to contact us beforehand.
