Three Ways to Brew

One of the strongest features of this set is the choice of three brewing vessels.

Overhead-Handle Teapot — Approx. 260 mL

A distinctive larger brewing vessel with an elevated handle.

Its 260 mL capacity makes it especially useful when preparing tea for several people or when you prefer a slightly more generous infusion.

Xishi-Style Teapot — Approx. 190 mL

A softly rounded teapot inspired by the balanced proportions associated with traditional Xishi-style Chinese teaware.

Its medium capacity offers a versatile option for repeated loose-leaf infusions.

Gaiwan — Approx. 140 mL

A classic three-piece lidded bowl that provides direct control over steeping and pouring.

Its smaller capacity is particularly suited to Gongfu-style brewing and exploring how a tea changes from one infusion to the next.

Three vessels.

Three different brewing experiences.

Choose according to the tea, occasion and way you want to brew.

Why Use a Fairness Pitcher?

Tea continues extracting while it remains in the brewing vessel.

Pouring directly into several cups can therefore create slightly different strengths from the first cup to the last.

A fairness pitcher allows the entire infusion to be collected first and then distributed among the tasting cups.

The result is a more consistent shared serving.

The 280 mL fairness pitcher in this set is especially useful with the larger teapots when preparing tea for several people.

The Quiet Beauty of the Lotus

Lotus imagery gives this collection its distinctive visual identity.

Blue-grey blossoms and leaves move gently across warm ivory ceramic, while restrained warm-toned edging and handles add definition without disturbing the softer palette.

The lotus motif feels expressive without becoming overly decorative.

Across the complete set, the visual language remains:

Warm Ivory · Blue-Grey Lotus · Natural Warm Accents

The result is a tea table that feels graceful, botanical and quietly connected to nature.

Lotus, Tea & Repeated Infusions

A lotus opens gradually.

Loose tea leaves do the same.

During Gongfu-inspired brewing, the leaves begin tightly held and slowly reveal more aroma, flavour and texture through repeated infusions.

The three brewing vessels in this set make that gradual experience part of the ritual.

Brew a smaller amount.

Pour.

Share.

Return to the leaves.

Then discover what the next infusion brings.

Which Brewing Vessel Should You Choose?

Choose the 260 mL Overhead-Handle Teapot When:

• Brewing for several people

• You want a more generous volume

• You prefer an elevated-handle design

• You want tea to move easily into the fairness pitcher

Choose the 190 mL Xishi-Style Teapot When:

• You want a balanced everyday Gongfu vessel

• Brewing for a smaller group

• You prefer a traditional rounded teapot form

• You want a middle ground between the larger teapot and smaller gaiwan

Choose the 140 mL Gaiwan When:

• Exploring repeated infusions

• You want more direct control over brewing

• Preparing smaller quantities

• Comparing aroma and flavour from infusion to infusion

There is no single correct vessel.

The three options allow the same tea session to change according to your preference.

Which Teas Work Well with This Set?

The set can be used with many styles of loose-leaf tea.

Oolong Tea

Aromatic · Layered

Oolong naturally suits repeated Gongfu infusions because its aroma and flavour can continue changing across several steeps.

White Tea

Gentle · Refined

A soft choice for quieter tea sessions and repeated infusions.

Pu-erh Tea

Deep · Evolving

A natural choice for slower Gongfu-style sessions where the tea changes significantly from one infusion to the next.

Green Tea

Fresh · Clear

Suitable when prepared with the appropriate lower water temperature for the selected green tea.

Black Tea

Warm · Full

A richer option that works naturally with the set's warm ivory and botanical aesthetic.

Always adjust water temperature, leaf amount and infusion time according to the specific tea being prepared.

Made for Tea Shared Together

Eight tasting cups make this collection especially suitable for communal tea.

The smaller 50 mL cup size supports repeated servings rather than one large drink.

This works naturally with Gongfu-inspired brewing:

Small Infusion → Fairness Pitcher → Eight Cups → Repeat

For a quiet gathering, not every cup needs to be filled completely.

For larger tea moments, the full eight-cup setting is ready.

This flexibility makes the set suitable for:

Two People · Family Tea · Small Gatherings · Guests
