Oriental tea-lite set

This set with an infuser and a tea-lite base adds an exciting element to your tea ritual. As your leaf tea steeps over the tea-lite, it’s quite an experience watching the leaf open up slowly and add a subtle colour to the liquor. The dumpling shot cups are double-walled to keep the brew at an optimum temperature and not let it go cold.
