The tipot is a modern teapot for gongfu brewing of Chinese tea, combining the traditions of the tea ceremony with 21st-century convenience. The principle is simple: put the tea in the upper flask, pour in water, and press the button on the lid. The finished infusion drops into the lower flask while the leaves stay on top.
This way the tea never over-steeps, and you need neither a strainer nor a gaiwan: just press the button after each infusion. The tipot suits oolongs, pu-erhs, black teas, and green teas, as well as anyone who wants to control the flavor and avoid burnt fingers.
