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 creamy porcelain and glazed with the softest hint of moss green, this classically proportioned pot remains unglazed on its interior, yet is fully water tight and non-porous due to it’s fully vitrifying high fire in the artist’s gas kiln. We love the contrast of darkly brewed red teas pouring from this spout, a play of light and dark that delights the eye.

This teapot is one of a kind.
