We are in the south of Yunnan, in the city of \u003cstrong\u003eJianshui\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the modelling of clay dates back to primitive times. Here, the art of ceramics has remained a defining constant across generations of artisans who passed down the craft of shaping this distinctive clay through the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, maturing through the Yuan, Ming and Qing eras in parallel with the development of tea culture.\u003cbr\u003eIn the Qing era, modern oolong and white teas came into being, completing the six categories we still have today, while Jianshui teapots became celebrated for their uniqueness and exceptional level of refinement.\u003cbr\u003eThe tradition of Jianshui teapots represents the result of centuries of accumulated knowledge and is a remarkable expression of the fusion between Han culture and the ethnic minority cultures of Yunnan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA selection of rare teas, chosen especially for the occasion, will accompany the narration of the evolution of tea and ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn Saturday 19 and Sunday 20th September we will open the first Milano Tea Week\u003c\/strong\u003e with a series of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/carrozzeriaprima.com\/collections\/events\" title=\"2026 Milano Tea Week Eastern Leaves Milan Events\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003efour events\u003c\/a\u003e hosted by our founders in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/AvT29svhomKHJqzL8\" title=\"Eastern Leaves Milano\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etearoom in Milan\u003c\/a\u003e, and dedicated to the historical evolution of tea and ceramics, through centuries and lands that will take us from Song to Ming dynasties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe week will continue with events in collaboration with various Milan-based organisations, exploring tea in its many forms and expressions.\u003cbr\u003eFind the full programme of the Milano Tea Week, with participation options, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Milano Tea Week\" href=\"https:\/\/milanoteaweek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you wish to join us for all 4 events, a \u003cstrong\u003especial 10% discount\u003c\/strong\u003e will automatically be applied to your purchase at checkout.
