A small glass teapot built for tea-water separation
The Qinzhong teapot (秦钟壶) is a 280ml borosilicate glass teapot with a built-in glass infuser, sized for one or two people. The name comes from its bell-like shape — wider at the base and narrower toward the top, after the traditional Chinese Qinzhong form.
The whole pot is transparent, which means you can watch the tea colour develop as it steeps. That's useful for timing lighter teas like greens and whites, where a few seconds can change the flavour. The amber-coloured glass handle stays comfortable to grip, and the deep red glass knob on the lid is a nice visual touch.
The borosilicate glass handles boiling water without issue and won't crack from temperature changes. You can also place it directly on an electric ceramic stove to keep the water warm during a session.
Specifications
- Capacity: 280ml
- Width: 12.5cm (spout to handle)
- Height: 11.5cm (including lid knob)
- Material: High borosilicate glass (body, infuser, and lid)
- Handle: Amber-coloured glass
- Lid knob: Deep red glass ball
- Heat-resistant: Yes — safe for boiling water and electric ceramic stoves
Teas that suit this pot
Works well with jasmine dragon pearls, white teas, lighter oolongs, and blooming flower teas — anything where you want to watch the leaves or blossoms open in clear glass.
For a simpler Western-style brew: 2-3g with a 2-3 minute steep works well.
Care
Rinse with warm water after each use and let it air dry. Hand washing is gentler on the glass than a dishwasher. Borosilicate glass handles temperature swings well, but avoid going straight from a cold fridge to boiling water. The glass won't hold onto flavours between sessions, so you can brew different teas without carryover.
All our glassware ships in double-layered bubble wrap with cardboard inserts.

from 148 reviewsMy absolute favourite tea—so beautiful, with such complex and rich flavours. For the second infusion, I’ve begun to cold brew it over night in the fridge and that brings out a lot of the more floral notes- i highly recommend, to make the most of this tea!!
Great shop, excellent products and staff are fantastic
A truly lovely cup of tea

A good quality chen pi at a great price. Much better than the chen pi found in supermarkets.
I’m really enjoying this tea. Very smooth, an incredible tea to taste. Highly recommend. Will definitely repurchase and continue to try other teas you recommend. Thankyou
This is seriously a lovely tea. Smooth flavour and no bitterness at all. I usually like milk with my tea but no problems without milk at all. Will definitely purchase again. Thanks
This is a really handy little flask. Just the right size and the temp gauge is a great addition so you know how hot the contents are . Not too big or small just right😄
I love smokiness in most things so when I saw this Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked I grabbed a sample to try and I was blown away.
From the moment you open the packet the aroma of the smokiness hits front and centre.
With smallish leaves I eagerly brewed up. I was presented with a beautiful full amber liquid and the smoke hitting my nose was welcoming.
The only way I can describe this tea is it brings back memories of camping down by the creek on our farm burning pine cones. It’s like a warm hug being able to taste the smell. It reminds me of the smokiness in your clothes once you walk away from that fire.
Full bodied and lovely mouth feel.
