Tea time!

When is it not time for tea?

This is a small teapot designed for gong fu tea brewing. This is the Chinese practice where you use a relatively large amount of tea leaves and brew for short periods (30 seconds to 1 minute, typically). YouTube can educate you more fully on this. Brewing this way definitely gets the best flavor out of your tea leaves.

This teapot was made with some of my recycled stoneware clay that I added some limestone to. The green to purple coloration you see is from this addition. It was wood fired in a more protected part of the anagama kiln. It still saw some action but not too much.

Dimensions: Approximately 2” tall and 4” wide

It holds about 100ml.

My pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. I make them with stoneware clay and fire until they’re vitrified, around 2350°F.

If a pot you like is sold out, just email me and I can make you a similar one! I also take commissions of all sorts; please email me if you have an idea.

I ship with USPS and UPS and send tracking information after sending each order.

I ship internationally; it’s no problem, but it may require a little extra postage. It’s hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For these international orders, I will contact you if there is a discrepancy between what you pay and the actual cost.
