Lotus Pod Raw Mineral Clay Gongfu Teapot Set

🌱 Design Inspiration · Lotus Pod Form

This teapot set takes its shape from the lotus pod, a symbol of purity, stillness, and quiet strength in Chinese culture.

The sculptural surface is intentionally raw and unpolished, echoing the organic textures of nature.
Paired with leaf-shaped teacups, the set creates a complete visual language rooted in earth, water, and time.

🪨 Raw Mineral Clay Craftsmanship

This tea set is made from natural mineral sand clay, rich in iron and trace mineral elements.

Key material characteristics:

• The mineral structure contains countless microscopic pores

• Strong ion-exchange capacity helps soften water during brewing

• Enhances the roundness and depth of tea flavor

Unlike glazed ceramics, raw mineral clay interacts actively with tea and water, making each brewing session subtly different.

🍵 The Beauty of Tea Nurturing (养壶)

With continued use, the mineral-rich clay body gradually absorbs tea oils.

Over time, this process forms a natural patina on the surface — known among tea lovers as tea nurturing.

• The teapot slowly develops a smooth, mellow sheen

• Mineral iron elements react with tea, revealing subtle iridescent tones

• Each piece evolves uniquely, shaped by the tea you brew

This is not a static object, but a tea vessel that ages with you.
