Duidui's Teaware: Jesse's Story
Duidui has been my tea guy since 2012 and is famous amongst followers of the channel for getting us some of the best teas on the shop.
As a tea guy himself sourcing top-quality tea for over 20 years, it's not surprising he would also care a lot about his tea equipment.
Duidui's teaware series includes three pots, two types of cups, and a fairness pitcher, all of which were designed over the course of a decade. Duidui works with artisans to design tea ware, do a production run, and re-approach the project when sold out to make improvements each time.
His tea philosophy is baked into the whole series of pieces: Quality materials and workmanship; easy utility and no-fuss-teamaking over fancy gimmicks, and clean, simple aesthetic.
Every time I visited him in China, I loved the tea ware he used, and I am glad to be able to host it on our teahouse website. These products are not available anywhere else outside of China!
About Fairness Pitchers
In Chinese gongfu tea, after tea is brewed in a gaiwan or teapot, it is filtered into a pitcher called a "Gong Dao Bei," or "fairness pitcher."
This name comes from the fact that no matter who is at the tea table, whatever their social status, all are served "fairly" from the same pitcher of tea.
Besides its mission to share tea fairly, the pitcher is also the unsung hero of the tea-making set. Pouring tea out of the teapot and into a pitcher means the tea never sits over-steeping while tea is being drunk. This means each steep of tea is captured at the right steep time, and then can be distributed without rush.
Save on the "Duidui Full Set" - 2x Full Palm Cups, 2x Straw Hat Cups, and 1x Fairness Pitcher - by choosing it as an option from the drop-down menu when purchasing.
