Certain collections from the Cristallerie Saint-Louis are dedicated or adapted to the exacting field of tea and coffee tasting. The fineness of the crystal is ideal for bringing out aromas and creating an exceptional experience.
Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, with various rituals: gong fu cha in China, sencha do in Japan, afternoon tea in England and masala chai in India. These traditional drinks are so refined that many specialists offer their know-how in selecting grand crus varieties.
This collection offers various shapes of crystal glass. Some are straight, like the Rabat collection, in keeping with the tea-drinking traditions of Moroccan and Maghrebi cultures. Others, such as the Apollo collection, combine a thick base to protect the hand from heat with a wide rim to release aromas.
The Apollo crystal tea set adds unique visual and flavour qualities to the tasting experience. Crystal promotes oxygenation and the release of aromas, whether for a full-bodied black tea or a light green tea. The transparency of the crystal reveals the colour of infusions.
For coffee tasting, wide-rimmed cups are suitable for less bitter or fruity coffees, such as filter coffee, while narrower-rimmed cups will bring out the best in more intense coffees with a stronger, more full-bodied taste, such as espresso.
A tea or coffee set is a symbol of craftsmanship and know-how. Each item, from the teapot to the cups, is crafted using traditional methods for crystal that is mouth-blown, cut and decorated by hand. The quality of the materials guarantees exceptional durability. The Apollo service teapot is made of porcelain and crystal, combining two indispensable materials in tableware.
Crystal tea and coffee glasses enhance moments of pleasure and sharing. They appeal to both enthusiasts of beautiful pieces and connoisseurs of tea and coffee. Discover a selection that combines the know-how of tableware with the beverages that punctuate our daily lives, making every moment of enjoyment a precious one.
