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 Yan’s tiny teapots are perfectly proportioned for this style of tea making. Thrown from delicate porcelain clay and glazed in matching white, this pot has an elegant simplicity that pairs perfectly with red tea, a striking contrast between light and dark. The interior is unglazed, and will gradually take on a tea patina over time.

This teapot is one of a kind.
