About The Dew Teepot

Boekteks: Die Dew is 'n teepot gemaak van glas en vlekvrye staal. Die trekmetode is geïnspireer deur die tradisionele Italiaanse koffiemaker. Teeblare word in die boonste kamer geplaas. Wanneer die Dew onderstebo gedraai word, beweeg lugdruk die vloeistof van die boonste deel na die onderste deel. Die teeblare bly in die boonste deel, sodat die onderste deel die skinkpot word. Die vorm is geïnspireer deur die vorming van 'n douppel, wat stadig groei soos vog versamel, net soos die geleidelike trek van tee.

Unique Properties: Green represents not only the tea culture, but is healthierthan its competitor coffee, or even black tea, its own kind. Therefore, that is why I created The Dew teapot, the function of the teapot is inspired by Italian traditional coffee maker. By playing with the air pressure upside down, the liquid of tea at the upper part return to the lower part and leaves the tea leaves at the upper part, the lower part become the teapot and the user could enjoy the tea.
Tags: Teapot, electric, design, dew
Production Technology: Glass, stainless steel
Inspiration: The inspiration of the teapot was taken from hundreds of drawings of the formation of the dewdrop. The formation of the dewdrop is a process of accumulation, wherein it will absorb moisture and grows gradually. Just like the tea making process of teapot The Dew. It also gives me inspiration about the aesthetics of the teapot's shape.
