Chaozhou

This 110ml handmade Chaozhou teapot is crafted in a classical Dragon Egg shape, caroled by Qing Dynasty poet Wu Dingme. Chaozhou clay, with its excellent heat-retaining properties, is high in iron oxide but less porous than Yixing ZiSha (primarily due to higher firing temperature) and is good at preserving tea's bright, floral notes. This teapot is a perfect match for your floral Dan Cong Oolongs.

What can be more enticing than watching rising steam, listening to crackling charcoal, boiling water, and a Chaozhou clay kettle clacking lid? The Chaozhou charcoal stove and clay kettle are a must-have if you are serious about Gong Fu Cha. It will transform the entire tea experience by taking it to the next level. Many argue that water boiled on the open fire in a clay kettle is so much better than the one boiled in a stainless steel electric kettle.

A gaiwan, used for infusing tea leaves, allows the tea-drinker to smell the aroma, and to observe the tea leaves unfurling. This 110ml Porcelain Gaiwan is a perfect vessel to bring out the true taste and aroma of tea.

The symbol carved in the middle of this Tea Boat is the "Lu Star", which represents prosperity. The natural wood of this Chinese tea tray adds a peaceful air to any tea setting. The compact shape is perfect for a solo tea ritual but can also be used for a larger tea ceremony.
