We are very excited to introduce this New Elegant Teapot which builds on the original design that was the focal point of its namesake’s tea ware series which remains our most popular since it’s introduction at the very beginning of Taiwan Tea Crafts. Simple flowing lines and well-proportioned volumes have made this series a joy to use as well as a joy to look at for the hundreds who adopted them. With the feedback received from all the users of the previous model, we were able to develop and propose this improved design in form, function and build which does even better at highlighting the distinctive character of all Taiwanese teas, without exception. Building on the original design’s popular lower profile, we’ve increased the lid opening from a 40 mm circumference to 55 mm to allow twisted-leaf teas like Bao Zhong and Taiwanese Blacks to be inserted in without breaking them. It also makes discarding them a breeze. The dome lid sits very precisely with a perfect seal. Don’t let the low number of filter holes fool you, this pot pours quicker than its predecessors, thanks to a larger diameter short and straight spout. Finally, the shallow handle offers precise handling. All this in a 125 ml size that is perfect for gongfu-style shared introspections or solo sessions. A newly-revised matching handleless Elegant Pitcher series was devised to pair with this pot. A real pleasure to work with in all situations and with all teas. Handcrafted in Taiwan.
