Chaozhou teapots

Chaozhou is renowned for its fine, unglazed teapots made from local clay, deeply tied to the region’s Gongfu tea tradition. These teapots, often small and meticulously crafted, are prized for their ability to enhance tea flavors through gradual seasoning. The clay, rich in iron, retains heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for brewing aromatic oolong teas. With a history spanning centuries, Chaozhou teapots are cherished for their elegant simplicity, functional precision, and their role in the refined art of tea preparation.

Marcel KarcherFounder, Munich

For over 15 years I have been collecting ceramics and drinking tea very seriously. Now I am funnelling all of that experience into finding and curating great wares and tea.

We only sell what I personally like a lot, and that includes the tea I drink myself every day. I choose every maker. I taste every tea before it goes into the shop. I travel to Japan and China to meet the people who make what we sell.

Until now the entire endeavour is in my hands from end to end: sourcing, logistics, photography, education, labelling and packing your parcels.
