PORCELAIN FILTER

A conical porcelain tea filter and stand, made from the same elegant Dehua clay as our house gaiwan. Designed to rest over a gong dao bei, this fine 100+ hole strainer catches stray leaves and dust for a clean, refined pour. The included stand catches drips and stores the filter between steeps. Perfect for Gongfu-style tea, but fits most cups and mugs as well. Durable, functional, and beautiful.

A porcelain tea filter + stand.

Designed to sit over our house gong dao bei, this conical filter separates tea leaves and particulates from tea liquor. Whether decanted through an in-built filter or gaiwan lid, small bits of leaf and tea dust are liable to escape into the finished steep—using a secondary filter like this one ensures a clean cup of tea free of leaf material.

Made of a single slab of elegant Dehua porcelain (same as our house gaiwan), the filter features a wide mouth, a 100+ hole strainer, and a glossy finish. A bulbous base of the same porcelain acts as a stand to catch drips and house the filter when not in use.

Filters like this are usually used in small-format tea steeping (see: Gongfu), but it will fit over most mugs and tea cups, too, for when you want to decant a steep directly into your drinking vessel. As useful as it is decorative, this filter will last you years.*

Rinse and dry thoroughly after each use.
For staining, scrub gently with melamine foam.
