teabrewer concept
Almost every tea drinker takes sips of green or black wellness out of cups. And I would say that almost every one of those tea-sippers uses regular teabags you can find in every store near civilization. Image doing the same thing to coffee....going to the store buying a bag of bags of coffee powder. It does not only have to be colored water giving warmth!
A Teabrewer is the right direction.
The origin of this Idea lies in Japanese and Chinese culture. Both have tea anchored very deeply in their medicine and health practice. For over 4000yrs. It is part of and daily routine of almost every citizen. Knowing this, my goal was to create a tea brewer that respects traditions and culture but furthermore creates technological advantages.
how does it work?
The main body only consists of an oval shape. This was created in dependence to the Japanese "Enso". It is a Buddhist symbol meaning as much as strength and elegance. The main structure can stay in place while the centered container and brewer can move to create three main positions.
FILL WITH WATER
LET IT BREW
PORE YOUR TEE
It's not only warmth, leaves and color! The taste of tea varies with every second of brewing in water. Traditionally there are three waves of drinking. The first and the second one being the preliminary program for the third, exploding in flavor richness and differentiating itself from the other two by a very big margin. Repeating the process of brewing tea in one sitting should exceed the flavor.
The ring makes this movement for tea serving possible. It also gains inspiration from the japanese "Enso". The main body is constructed to let the ring move through it without any resistance. The water container and infusion receptacle are joined and create a seamless body located in the middle of the ring structure
All parts separated from each other and lined up show how simplistic and puristic the aproach of Design was for this project.
