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 of tiny teapots are perfectly proportioned for this style of tea making. Thrown from dark stoneware clay and fired in a wood kiln, atmospheric ash and carbon have given this little pot a golden sheen that sparkles with every pour. Tiny bubble and areas of thicker glaze keep the eye moving around the form, the perfect centerpiece for your tea table.

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

This teapot is one of a kind.
