My hobby is drinking tea. it's not just drinking. Through different processes, I can enjoy different tea. But sometimes I would like to drink tea while sitting in the beautiful scenery and enjoy that. The problems are that the porcelain teaware is usually easily broken and difficult to transport -That's why I designed a simple shape that is easy to carry around because it's made of silicone. It is easy to transport and takes up little space. Moreover, you can pour hot water into it without it getting too hot.
