My favorite and most used teapot. It has been slowly seasoned by years of use and makes a beautiful cup of tea.

Have you ever been a part of a Gong Fu tea ceremony? Have you even heard of Gong Fu?

Not all teapots are created equal. I’ve always found this one beautiful, but it can only make a cup of hot leaf juice (Avatar reference). The lid leaks like crazy and I’m not sure it’s true Zisha clay. Either way, still looks good on the shelf.

I'm super excited to announce that we finally have everything in place to sell tea wholesale and retail without the Cottage Industry Restrictions. We're just finalizing some final things (like packaging labels), but we hope to be in Grand Valley stores soon.

Once this is all in place, we'll be doing a lot more tea tasting events.
