Capacity: 140 ml

This teapot is designed at an intimate 140 ml capacity, ideal for focused gongfu-style brewing where control, proportion, and precision matter. The volume allows tea leaves to fully open without excess dilution, supporting layered extractions across multiple infusions. Its scale encourages attentiveness, making it well suited for solo sessions or shared tastings where nuance and progression are central to the experience.

Form and material work in close dialogue. Crafted from mineral-rich clay selected for its breathability and thermal stability, the teapot gently moderates heat while allowing the tea to soften and clarify over time. The clay’s natural porosity absorbs trace aromatics through repeated use, gradually seasoning the vessel and deepening its relationship with the teas brewed within. Visually, the clay is left largely unadorned, allowing its texture, tone, and firing character to speak without distraction.

The side-handle design prioritizes balance and ergonomics, offering a natural pouring motion with minimal wrist movement. Proportions are carefully calibrated: the body provides space for leaf expansion, while the spout angle and aperture ensure a smooth, uninterrupted pour. The lid fits securely yet releases easily, maintaining pressure consistency and clean flow. Every design choice serves function first, resulting in a teapot that feels intuitive in the hand and responsive in use.

Over time, this vessel becomes more than a tool. Through repeated brewing, the clay matures, the surface deepens, and the teapot develops a quiet patina shaped by heat, water, and tea. It is an object meant to evolve — shaped by use, refined by ritual, and valued for the way it supports clarity, balance, and presence in each brewing session.
