Tea Fishermen

Designer: Wang Lei

China Design Challenge 2014 with China Red Star Design Award and Beijing Design Week

Beijing, China

Inspired by the ancient Chinese tale of Jiang Taigong, this tea holder reimagines the legendary fisherman who used a straight fishhook—or even no hook at all—believing fish would come when ready. Now, he patiently holds your tea bag as it steeps, bringing a touch of wisdom and tradition to every cup.

“Bring a touch of wisdom and tradition to every cup.”

"Now you can have Jiang Taigong patiently hold your tea bag while it steeps.”
