Gong fu, or dry-style tea preparation, is an integral component of the Song Tea service, orchestrated with the smallest brewing vessels. The scale of these teapots allows for highly concentrated brews, highlighting the epitomes of flavor and character through each successive steep. These are pots designed for ritual, intended to be filled again and again with near-boiling water and decanted, shared, and savored.

Zhang Hao Yen’s latest collection is perfectly proportioned for this style of tea making. Thrown from dark stoneware clay this little kyusu features a hand built handle, intended for right-handed brewing. The glaze moves back and forth between cream and robin's egg blue, offset with specks of iron that freckle the surface of the form.

While the interior is unglazed stoneware. this pot may be used with all tea types.

This teapot is one of a kind.
