{"title":"Terracotta Tea \u0026 Coffee Drinkware — Kulhad Cups, Clay Mugs \u0026 Chai Glasses | Soul Of Soil","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe kulhad is India's most iconic chai cup — and it is iconic for a reason. Drinking hot chai from a terracotta kulhad is a genuinely different experience from drinking it from ceramic, glass, or paper. The clay's natural mineral surface interacts subtly with the tea, the earthy aroma of the fired clay enhances the sensory experience of every sip, and the thick clay walls keep the chai warmer from first to last without ever becoming too hot to hold. Our Tea \u0026amp; Coffee Drinkware collection brings these qualities to a full range of handcrafted drinking vessels — for chai, coffee, and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOur kulhad cups are made in the authentic traditional style — straight-sided, slightly tapered, without handles, exactly as they have been made for generations by street chai vendors and home kitchens across India. Each one is hand-thrown on a traditional potter's wheel, sun-dried, and kiln-fired for durability. For those who prefer a handled vessel for coffee or a slower, more leisurely drink, our clay coffee mugs offer the same natural warmth and earthy character in a more contemporary form. Each mug is individually hand-thrown, with a slightly textured exterior surface that provides a satisfying grip and an organic visual character that mass-produced mugs simply cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOur range also includes terracotta chai glasses — a slightly taller, more open form suited for serving chai in the traditional South Indian style, or for anyone who prefers a vessel that shows the colour of the tea. Every piece in our drinkware range is completely natural, BPA-free, chemical-free, and eco-friendly. Available individually, in sets of 2, 4, and 6, and as curated gift sets that make exceptional presents for chai lovers, coffee enthusiasts, and anyone who takes their daily brew seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"terracotta-coffee-cup-black-glazed-clay-swirl-motif","title":"Terracotta Coffee Cup — Black Glazed Clay Cup with Swirl Motif","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"7721\" data-end=\"8241\"\u003eThis is not your average morning cup.
