Silver Tea Set – Handcrafted 6 Multicolor Glass Service with Tray

A: Yes, absolutely. Our tea sets are made from food-grade materials that are lead-free and non-toxic. Each piece has been rigorously tested to ensure it is free of toxic substances and heavy metals. The brass and silver-plated copper used in our teapots and trays meet all food-safety standards, and all solder points are lead-free and certified food-grade. You can brew and serve tea with complete confidence.

A: Yes! Our functional teapots are designed with a flat bottom that allows them to be placed directly on the stove during traditional tea preparation. They're heat-resistant and built to withstand the authentic brewing process. When shopping for tea sets, avoid decorative teapots with small ornate feet—those are for serving only and cannot handle direct heat. Our teapots are crafted for daily use and will last for decades.

A: Brass and silver-plated copper require gentle care to maintain their beautiful shine:

• Regular cleaning: Hand wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry immediately
• Remove tarnish naturally: Rub with half a lemon coated in salt, then buff with a soft cloth
• Deep cleaning: Make a paste with lemon juice and cream of tartar (1:2 ratio), apply for 30 minutes, rinse with warm water, and buff dry
• Avoid: Dishwashers and abrasive cleaners that can damage engravings

A: Quick brewing steps:

1. Warm the teapot by swirling boiling water inside, then discard
2. Wash the tea: Add 1-2 tablespoons gunpowder green tea, pour small amount of boiling water, swirl, and discard
3. Brew: Fill teapot two-thirds with boiling water, add a large handful of fresh mint (slightly crushed) and 2-3 sugar cubes
4. Steep: Let steep 3-5 minutes or place back on stove to near-boil
5. Mix: Pour into a glass and back into the pot several times until sugar dissolves and foam forms (never stir!)
6. Serve: Pour from a height to create the signature foam and aerate the tea

A: The elevated pour is the signature of the tea ceremony and serves multiple purposes:

• Mixes the sugar evenly without stirring
• Cools the tea to the perfect drinking temperature
• Creates foam on top, which symbolizes purity and proper preparation
• Shows respect to the guest—the height of the pour demonstrates the host's skill and honor

This dramatic technique transforms tea service into a beautiful ritual of hospitality.

A: The three rounds of Moroccan tea represent life's journey:

• First glass (Bitter as life): Represents hardship and challenges
• Second glass (Strong as love): Symbolizes endurance and commitment
• Third glass (Sweet as death): Signifies peace, harmony, and fulfillment

Each pour becomes progressively sweeter and more mellow. Sharing all three rounds is a gesture of complete hospitality and strengthens bonds between host and guest.

A:

• Always accept the first glass—declining is considered impolite as it rejects the host's hospitality
• Receive the glass with your right hand (traditional custom)
• Sip slowly and engage in conversation between sips
• To politely decline more tea, say "Baraka" (blessing/enough) after finishing your glass

In Moroccan culture, sharing tea is about connection and taking time together, not about how much you drink.

A: Our traditional tea glasses are durable but require gentle handling:

• Hand wash with warm, soapy water (dishwashers can fade decorative patterns)
• Dry immediately to prevent water spots
• Handle carefully when filled with hot tea—hold by the rim between thumb and finger
• Store safely with padding between glasses to prevent chipping

The glasses are designed to showcase the beautiful amber color of the tea and its signature foam.

Both materials are authentic and traditional:

Brass tea sets:

• Rich golden color that develops character over time
• Excellent durability for daily use
• Easier to maintain and restore shine
• More affordable option

Silver-plated copper tea sets:

• Elegant silver finish with copper's superior heat conductivity
• Copper heats quickly and evenly for optimal brewing
• Premium aesthetic for special occasions
• Requires slightly more care to maintain silver plating

Both are food-safe, lead-free, and hand-engraved by master artisans. Choose based on your aesthetic preference and intended use frequency.
