About The Entry

The TOSC waterware set comprises a vacuum flask, a carafe, and two portable tumblers in different sizes. All bodies and internal components, lids and tea strainers, are crafted from TA1 pure titanium. Titanium is recognized as the most biocompatible metal, and titanium vessels effectively inhibit bacterial growth: harmful bacteria rapidly perish in a titanium environment, delivering outstanding freshness preservation. Among everyday tableware, only titanium offers this unique advantage, which is precisely why TOSC selected high-purity virgin titanium as the foundation for its waterware collection. The set is equipped with scientifically proportioned mineral filter cartridges that release trace elements of strontium and selenium, naturally alkalizing the water and enriching it with beneficial minerals, enhancing the drinking experience for daily tea or water consumption.

The high-purity titanium surface undergoes vacuum high-temperature treatment, naturally forming delicate ice-crystal-like crystalline patterns, each piece entirely unique in its grain. An anodization process then imparts a graduated iridescence that shifts and flows with changing light angles. This color is not achieved through paint or coating, but through light refraction within titanium's transparent oxide layer. Every piece reads as a one-of-a-kind crafted object—irreproducible.

Subtle vintage elements are woven into the design: a mechanical temperature gauge is incorporated into the flask lid, paired with wood-grain handles. These details evoke a sense of measured, leisurely tea ritual, softening the industrial coolness of metal and elevating the set into a collection-worthy tea vessel meant to be cherished over time.
