Product description
【Why Chinese Teapots typically are Small?】 Traditional classic Chinese teapots typically hold 150-300ml (6-10oz) of water, which is very different from the western teapot or the large tea pot of size you see at a Chinese restaurant (the more water the teapot on the table could hold, the less staff would need to refill). There are few good reasons they are designed as that: 1. 【For brewing multiple infusions】For maximum flavor, the way to brew Chinese tea is to add small serving of tea leaves, use hot water of temperature around 80-90 degree Celsius and for 15-30 seconds in each steep. The tea leaves are to re-use 6-10 infusions before they are disposed. By brewing it this way, you can enjoy a variation of the taste, the aroma, and the tea strength with each steep. 2. 【For better control】Brewing using small quantities of water ensure better precision in the brew as the water temperature and volume are steeped for immediate consumption 3. 【For socializing】As the tea is brewed in small teapot and served in small teacup, the host will be serving the guests every now and then with another round of freshly brewed tea. This way, apart from holding the group, gives everyone something to do between conversation intervals 4. 【For personal consumption】You may not want to brew a big pot of tea just for yourself Hot water source (from water flask or boiling pot of water) is typically placed by side with the tea set; teapot is refilled with hot water after each serving. Teapot Size: L14.5cm H6.8cm; Teacup Size: L6cm H3cm
