Tea Gift Idea #1: Piao i Teapot I bought one of these from Serenity Tea House earlier this year and it’s become my favourite infuser to use when reviewing teas — especially since my adorable yet prone-to-break-things 18-month old son smashed the lid of my gaiwan. Here’s how it works: Drop the leaves in the top, add water, and push the button on top to empty the liquor into the glass pot below. Simple, innovative and particularly good for high quality oolongs, pu-erhs or green teas that are suitable for multiple infusions. My recommendation: Get this for someone who loves quality loose leaf tea, especially teas that can be reinfused. Available from: Bana Tea Company’s Amazon shopfront. $28 by itself or $32 with a 5-pack sampler set of pu-erh teas.UK-based Canton Tea Co also sell the Piao i Teapot.

The earliest recorded book extolling the virtues of green tea is the Kissa Yojoki (Book of Tea), which was published in 1191 by a Zen priest, Eisai. The first sentence of the book goes like this: “Tea is the ultimate mental and medical remedy and has the ability to make one’s life more full and complete.” Eisai thought that the bitter taste of green tea would strengthen the heart and free the body from illness.

How To Choose A Chinese Teapot by Daniel Lui Download this guide by Daniel Lui as a PDF file here. Making tea is essentially the process of breaking down the cell structure of tea leaves to release their flavour. Using the traditional method of Chinese tea-making, called Gong-Fu Cha (Tea With Great Skill), the teapot is perhaps the most important element in this process. The tea-maker must match the right size and shape of teapot, the type of clay and firing temperature with the right type of tea and the number of people being served. And since a teapot is something that may be used every day, it should should be something that is comfortable to handle, long lasting and pleasing to the eye.
