DROP TEA SET 滴水玻璃茶器

Expand the beauty of traditional green tea in a modern way

品茶体验之美，以现代茶器重新诠释

Designer Ziren Zhou designed a unique glass tea set inspired by “the dew slipping from bamboo leaves”. Compared with traditional teapots, he hopes to highlight the beauty and aroma of the green tea brewing process, and uses atmospheric pressure to squeeze out just two cups of tea at a time to add interest to the process of brewing green tea. Enlarge the interesting details such as bubbles, droplets, steam and rotating tea leaves in water, so that the fresh and moist state of green tea is better presented in the tea tasting experience. Detach the traditional tea utensils, interpret the beauty of tea in a modern way, and push the traditional “tea ceremony” to young people in a more interesting way.

设计师周子韧以“露水从竹叶滑落“为灵感设计了一套与众不同的玻璃茶器。相比于传统茶壶，他希望突出绿茶泡制过程的美和香气，并借助大气压，一次制出恰到好处的两杯茶，为泡制绿茶的过程增加趣味。把气泡、液滴、蒸汽及水中旋转茶叶等充满趣味的细节放大，从而把绿茶鲜嫩滋润的状态更好的呈现在品茶体验中。脱离传统茶器造型，用现代方式诠释茶叶之美，将传统“茶道”以一种更具趣味性的方法推到年轻人面前。
