THÉIÈRE DES LÉGENDES

Description

A whimsical creature, the unicorn is not only the symbol of purity, but of power and spirituality as well.  Since the dawn of time the unicorn has appeared in numerous works of art and literature – in ancient China it even figured on the royal crest – and is universally considered an augury.
The lion, on the other hand, embodies courage, justice and knowledge (rightfully earning its title as “king”) and therefore is depicted prominently on armaments as well as serving as the beasts of the divine.  It is often authoritarian, however, and the fables of yore warn us of its tyrannical thirst for power.

And between these mythical animals, at the centre of the teapot, a box of tea unites the two. Perhaps a bit of tea is all it takes to achieve harmony?

Stoneware teapot made in France.

Before using your ceramic teapot for the first time, we recommend following these instructions:

1. Wash with a soft sponge and soapy water.
2. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

To brew your tea:

• Pour boiling water into your teapot and discard the water.
• Place the required amount of tea in the filter provided.
• Pour hot water over the tea to cover it and replace the lid to keep it warm.
• Once the brewing time is up, remove the filter and serve.

Ceramic preserves the aromas without altering them.

To care for your teapot:

• Regular care: clean with a soft sponge and soapy water, rinse and dry.
• Occasional maintenance to remove tannin deposits inside: leave a mixture of very hot water and white vinegar, lemon juice, bicarbonate of soda or citric acid to act. Empty the teapot, rinse with clean water and dry. Repeat as many times as necessary. 

Avoid extreme thermal shocks.
