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 delicate porcelain clay and glazed in matching white, the uniformity of this piece is contrasted by the sheer amount of character this diminutive pot conveys. Viewed in profile, this piece almost seems to have a face, creating a sense of earnestness and expectation as you brew.

This teapot is one of a kind.
