Crafted by a third-generation soapstone artisan family in Jangsu, Korea, this traditional Gobdol (soapstone) tea cup set carries centuries of Korean stonecraft heritage.
Soapstone is known for its excellent heat retention and thermal conductivity, allowing your tea to stay warm from the first sip to the last. The natural properties of the stone help enhance the depth and flavor of tea.
Made from uncoated natural stone, this tea set is free from harmful substances and environmentally safe. Each piece is carefully handcrafted in small batches — never mass-produced — ensuring premium quality and authenticity.
Historically, soapstone ware from Daeseong-ri in Jeonbuk Province was presented to King Sukjong during the Joseon Dynasty. Today, the descendants continue this legacy, preserving traditional Korean stone craftsmanship.
This tea set is ideal not only for traditional herbal tea such as Ssanghwa tea or Jujube tea, but also for warm desserts, porridge, and other comforting dishes. The lid helps retain heat, while the saucer can be used separately as a small serving plate.
