Know before you buy
The 24k gold plating provides a non-reactive surface that ensures the delicate flavor profile of your tea remains completely untainted. Using pure silver as a base offers structural integrity, while the gold layer prevents the metallic interaction sometimes associated with silver alone.
The extended bamboo handle is designed to keep your fingers away from the heat of the vessel, allowing for a steady, controlled pour. It provides a natural, ergonomic grip that is particularly useful when handling hot tea during multiple infusions.
Yes, 160 ml is an ideal size for a standard Gongfu tea setup. It comfortably holds the contents of most small gaiwans or teapots, making it perfect for serving two to three people at a time.
To preserve the finish, hand wash the pitcher gently with warm water and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Because the gold is plated over silver, it is best to dry it immediately after washing to prevent water spots.
Silver is an excellent conductor of heat, which helps the pitcher warm up quickly to match the temperature of your tea. While it will feel warm to the touch, the bamboo handle ensures you can pour safely without needing a coaster or towel.
