The Shape
Inspired by a classic apple form, this teapot is compact, beautifully balanced, and a pleasure to hold. The rounded body isn‘t just aesthetic—it gives tea leaves room to open and expand naturally during brewing, which is especially important for gongfu-style sessions with quick, precise infusions. The short, direct spout enables a very fast, clean pour, making this pot ideal for Dancong and Wuyi oolongs where timing and precision matter -
