About The Dew Teapot

De Dew is in tepot makke fan glês en rvs. De wize fan ferstoken is ynspirearre troch it tradisjonele Italiaanske kofjesetapparaat. Teeblêden wurde yn de boppeste keamer pleatst. As de Dew omdraaid wurdt, ferpleatst de loftdruk de floeistof fan it boppeste diel nei it ûnderste diel. De teeblêden bliuwe yn it boppeste diel, sadat it ûnderste diel de skinkpot wurdt. De foarm is ynspirearre troch it ûntstean fan in dauwdrip, dy't stadichoan groeit as focht him sammelet, folle op deselde wize as it stadige lûken fan 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.

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.
