Let your gaze wander over the table and you will discover some special features, for example in the teapots. Teapots can be recognised by their broad bulbous shape. The colour and aroma substances that escape from the infused tea leaves can develop freely in them. If you take a closer look at coffee pots, you will notice that they are tall and slender and that the spout is set high up. In those days, coffee was brewed directly in the pot, which prevented coffee grounds from getting into the coffee.
The form often followed the function and other pieces from a fine service were also attached to it. Cups were not exclusively ostentatious, but also functional. In a wide porcelain cup with a fine rim, the aroma of tea unfolds optimally. A frothy, whisked cocoa, on the other hand, requires a narrow, tall cup in which you can also enjoy the foam.


Treat yourself to a break from everyday life and enjoy the three drinks of pleasure with MEISSEN, combined with exquisite handicrafts. During the one-hour event, true connoisseurs of table and dining culture invite you to experience the world of hot drinks in harmony with precious Meissen pieces with all your senses.
