Kohiki Well Handmade Teapot

Handmade ceramic teapot for gong-fu style brewing. Creamy kohiki (粉引 / powder) glaze on the outside, unglazed inside. The teapot has a ball filter at the spout. The beautiful part of this kohiki glaze is that with use over time, the creamy smooth white surface will develop a colored/crackle patina from the tannins in the tea.

Made by a studio in Jingdezhen, the historic pottery capital of China.

• Volume: ~120 ml
• Width: ~10.5 cm (including handle and spout)
• Height: ~6.5 cm

As a crafted ceramic item, there will be variations in colours and glaze effects from the item’s photo.

Description

Please note that this teapot is meant for gong fu brewing and is thus a significantly smaller size than Western style teapots. Gong fu brewing uses a large amount of leaves to a small volume of water, combined with short steeping times. This style of brewing is the best way to obtain a delicious and intense flavour from quality tea leaves.
