Product Specifications

• Dimensions: 10.3cm (4") Length x 5.9cm (2.3") Width — A compact, portable size that fits comfortably in the palm or tucked into a tea set travel case.

• Included Accessory: Traditional Zhibin Brocade Sleeve — Protects the blades while adding a layer of classical elegance.

• Blade Material: High-Grade Stainless Steel — Precision-ground for a clean, sharp cut through tough foils or delicate fabrics.

Key Features and Craftsmanship

• Tea Art Specialization: Unlike standard household scissors, these are designed with a slim profile and sharp tips to easily puncture and glide through vacuum-sealed tea bags without damaging the precious leaves inside.

• Brocade Protection: The custom-fitted sleeve is made from high-density woven brocade, featuring auspicious patterns. This ensures the shears remain rust-free and do not snag on other tea accessories.

• Vintage Aesthetic: The handle features a subtly weathered, antique finish that complements traditional Zisha (Purple Clay) and porcelain tea sets.

• Ergonomic Grip: The wide, rounded finger loops are designed for stability, allowing for precise control when performing delicate tasks on the tea table.

Ideal Use Cases

• Opening Tea Pouches: Perfect for those high-end, vacuum-sealed Rock Tea (Yancha) or Dancong packets where a clean cut is necessary.

• Tea Ceremony Rituals: An essential accessory for a formal "Gongfu" setup, ensuring every tool used is as beautiful as the tea itself.

• Craft & Textile Work: The sharp tips make these excellent for embroidery, thread-cutting, or opening intricate fabric packaging.

Maintenance and Care

• Keep Dry: After using, wipe the blades with a soft, dry tea towel before placing them back in the brocade sleeve.

• Clean Cut: To maintain the edge, avoid using these shears on thick cardboard or wire; reserve them for tea bags, paper, and textiles.

• Tassel Care: If the silk tassel becomes tangled, simply steam it lightly or comb it through with your fingers to restore its "flowing" appearance.
