Features & Benefits

Classic Gao Li Form
The Gao Li Teapot is distinguished by its upright profile, rounded body, and elevated shoulder line, creating a graceful yet dignified silhouette. Its balanced proportions provide excellent stability, smooth pouring, and comfortable handling, making it an elegant choice for Gong Fu tea brewing.

Old Zi Hong Ni Clay
Crafted from Old Zi Hong Ni, this mature reddish-purple Yixing clay is highly regarded for its rich mineral composition, fine texture, and excellent breathability. The clay naturally enhances the aroma, body, and smoothness of tea while developing a deep, lustrous patina with continued use.

Enhanced Heat Retention
With a wall thickness of 5.5, this teapot offers excellent heat stability while maintaining responsive brewing control. The slightly thicker walls help preserve a consistent brewing temperature, allowing tea leaves to fully express their depth and complexity.

Handcrafted Craftsmanship
Each teapot is individually handmade using traditional Yixing pottery techniques. Every detail, from the harmonious proportions to the precisely fitted lid and elegant curves, reflects the artisan's dedication to both beauty and functionality.

Versatile Gong Fu Brewing Capacity
The 150 ml capacity is ideal for personal tea sessions or sharing with one companion. Its balanced size accommodates all varieties of fine tea while providing precise control over multiple infusions.

Design Concept

The Gao Li form embodies the elegance of simplicity and the quiet confidence of classical Yixing design. Its upright posture symbolizes stability, integrity, and refinement, while the harmonious curves soften the overall silhouette, creating a timeless vessel that balances visual beauty with exceptional brewing performance.
