About The Dew 茶壶

“露珠”(The Dew)是一款以玻璃与不锈钢打造的茶壶。其冲泡方式的灵感源自意大利传统摩卡咖啡壶:茶叶置于上壶中,当将“露珠”倒置时,气压便将茶汤由上壶推入下壶,茶叶则留在上壶,下壶随即成为可直接分茶的茶壶。其造型灵感来自露珠的形成过程——水汽缓缓凝聚,露珠徐徐长成,恰如茶汤循序渐进的萃取过程。

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.
