Tea-cube is one of our examples of playing with classic items as the teapot as well as the element of the tea ceremony. Tea in the today’s “format” is like coffee a quick drink, hot or cold... nothing to think about. If we would give the process of growing and harvesting tea leaves a little thought, we might discover that this is almost like a form of art. It takes a lot of craft and knowledge to collect the finest tea leaves and tread this in a way that we finally will have the very best sensations drinking the tea.... With this in our minds Jaap and I designed and developed a number of tea sets and are still looking again and again to create elements in fine silver that can be used in enjoying tea in its widest way. Tea-Cube One, is an example... rob & jaap thalen 2012
