Peking University History-Inspired Solid Wood Handle Boiling Teapot with Filter – Crafted for Premium Green & Orange Tea Brewing

A timeless blend of academic heritage and artisanal tea craft.

Imagine a quiet afternoon in 1923 at Yenching University, where scholars gathered beneath ginkgo trees, steaming cups in hand, debating philosophy between sips of freshly brewed oolong. The air hummed with ideas—and the delicate aroma of tea rising like inspiration itself. That legacy lives on, not in dusty archives alone, but in the elegant curve of a teapot handle, inspired by forgotten sketches found deep within Peking University’s library vaults.

A professor of cultural history once stumbled upon a fragile folio—yellowed pages bearing hand-drawn designs of a teapot, annotated with notes on balance, heat resistance, and harmony between form and function. It was never built in its time. But nearly a century later, that vision has been resurrected. This is not merely a teapot; it is a vessel steeped in intellectual tradition, reimagined for the modern tea connoisseur who values both beauty and precision.

The warmth of natural wood meets refined utility in every grip.

There’s something deeply human about holding wood—not cold metal that burns your fingers, nor plastic that feels hollow and temporary. The solid wood handle of this boiling teapot is carved from sustainably sourced aged fir, selected for its low density and exceptional thermal insulation. After three stages of controlled drying, each handle resists warping and cracking, even under repeated exposure to boiling water. When you lift the pot at dawn, steam curling into the morning light, your hand doesn’t just feel comfort—it feels connection. A ritual begins not with the first sip, but with the first touch.

The moment you pour, clarity becomes art. The thickened pyro glass body—crafted from high-grade borosilicate—is engineered to endure extreme thermal shifts. Whether pulled from a flickering gas flame or placed on a cool marble countertop in winter, it remains unshaken. Watch as loose-leaf green tea spirals open in slow motion, unfurling like ancient scrolls revealing their secrets. Every vein, every twist of the leaf is visible through the crystal-clear walls, transforming brewing into a meditation of sight and scent.

Witness the dance of tea leaves in premium borosilicate glass.

Inside the壶 lies a quiet revolution: a dual-layer stainless steel filter system designed for perfection. The upper mesh catches broad leaves, while the inner fine net traps even the tiniest fragments—no more gritty residue at the bottom of your cup. Once haunted by the memory of an overbrewed orange pekoe scattering bitter dust into tea, we now celebrate purity. And when the last drop is poured, the filter lifts out effortlessly, rinsing clean in seconds. No hidden corners for tannins to cling to. Just simplicity, restored.

This teapot knows the rhythm of different souls. For green tea, it offers gentle retention—thick walls that slow the cooling curve, allowing delicate notes of melon and spring grass to emerge without scalding. For aged tangerine pu-erh, it unleashes boldness: rolling boil, full immersion, the citrusy depth blooming under precise control. We recommend 75°C (167°F) for sencha, 3g per 200ml, steeped 2 minutes; for aged orange tea, full boil, 5g per 250ml, 4–5 minutes. Let summer bring jasmine silver needle, winter welcome ripe chenpi blends—each season finds its match here.

An heirloom piece resting proudly in a contemporary space.

Beyond function, this teapot belongs in spaces that value story. On a minimalist kitchen shelf beside a copper kettle, it draws eyes and questions. Placed among books in a study, it becomes more than a tool—it's a conversation piece, a bridge between past and present. Even the packaging honors legacy: a lid embossed with subtle reliefs of Peking University’s historic gates, making unboxing a moment of reverence.

In a world rushing toward instant everything, choosing to boil water, to wait, to watch leaves breathe—that is rebellion. One young professional in Shanghai shared how replacing her morning coffee pod with a five-minute tea ritual changed her mindset. “I’m not just starting the day,” she said. “I’m arriving in it.”

So we ask gently: How long has it been since you paused, watched a single leaf tumble in hot water, and remembered what it means to be still? With this teapot, every brew isn’t just tea. It’s a return—to roots, to calm, to yourself.
