From tea master to glass artisan
Gao Liuzhou, a tea master who has spent decades sourcing and serving delicate green and white teas, found that many glass teapots sacrificed refinement for volume. In 2024, he began collaborating with a small borosilicate workshop in Chaozhou to create a larger pot that would never cloud, never ghost flavors, and still pour without a drip. After ten prototypes, this 600ml edition was born. The spout is meticulously cut to a precise angle, the handle is hollow to stay cool, and the integrated strainer is fine enough to catch even broken Bái Háo Yín Zhēn leaves. Each pot is hand-blown and annealed slowly over 24 hours to ensure decades of use. Gao personally tests each batch with a session of Tài Píng Hóu Kuí, evaluating clarity against a white porcelain cup. Only those that pass his scrutiny reach the shelf. For Gao, a teapot is a stage, and the tea is the dancer — this pot gives the performance the space it deserves.
