Hand-Kneaded Bamboo Teapot
This teapot is made from authentic Taiwanese clay, rich in minerals like Iron(III) oxide, which enhances the brewing experience by softening the water. Fired at a high temperature of 1230℃ in an electric kiln, it embodies a commitment to sustainability by minimizing environmental impact compared to traditional wood-firing methods. The result is a teapot that balances functionality and eco-conscious craftsmanship.
Inspired by bamboo, a symbol of strength, resilience, and humility, this teapot serves as a daily reminder to stay grounded and adaptable, even in challenging circumstances. Through its design, it invites you to find balance and inner peace, fostering a deeper connection to the tea ritual. Each teapot is meticulously hand-crafted to mimic the texture of real bamboo, creating a strikingly lifelike appearance. By shaping the clay through hand-pinching rather than using molds or machines, the artisan achieves a dense, compact structure that helps retain heat, ensuring an optimal brewing temperature for tea.
With a capacity of 200 ml, this teapot is not only a functional tool but a work of art. Its handmade nature ensures that every detail, from the tightness of the lid to the smoothness of the pour, is carefully considered to enhance the tea-drinking experience. The clay’s composition and the pot’s wall thickness are thoughtfully designed to influence the taste and aroma of the tea, delivering a refined and satisfying brew.
Each hand-kneaded teapot carries the energy, vigor, and spirit of the artisan, resulting in a piece that feels alive and vibrant. Whether you’re a tea connoisseur or someone seeking a mindful moment, this bamboo-inspired teapot brings artistry, tradition, and functionality into perfect harmony.
