Flying Bird Tea Bar Wien

The new teapots we selected have already arrived at the teabar.

The Chaozhou Hongni teapot represents the small, refined, and highly functional spirit of traditional gongfu tea brewing. These teapots are usually smaller, more compact, and focused entirely on precision, aroma, and flow.

Yixing teapots, on the other hand, are unique works of art deeply connected to Chinese everyday culture and symbolism, inspired by plants, architecture, boats, legends, and spiritual traditions.

A Chaozhou teapot is designed to maximize aroma and transmit the energy and clarity of the tea. Yixing teapots tend to soften and round the liquor, enhancing depth, texture, and body.

A new research has just been published, confirming that a significant portion of tea’s most important active compounds, the antioxidant catechins, are lost during the bottling process and later during storage on shop shelves.
Buy high-quality loose-leaf tea and choose tea-making tools that fit your lifestyle. With the right setup you can make real fresh tea simply and quickly :) .

Tea has been linked to benefits like better heart health and even longevity, which sounds pretty great. But how that tea is made turns out to matter more than many people realize. When tea is bottled and stored, key compounds like catechins can break down, dialing back those benefits.

Drei wunderschöne Minoyaki-Tassen im Kobuki-Stil, gefertigt vom Provinzmeister Wada Kazufumi (1945-), sind in der Teebar zu finden. https://flyingbirdtea.com/all-tea-accessoires-ordered-by-arrival/ Der Kobuki-Stil ist eine der traditionellen dekorativen Gestaltungsweisen innerhalb der Minoyaki-Keramik (Mino-Ware). Er entstand in der Momoyama- und Edo-Zeit (1603–1868) in Japan, insbesondere bei Minoyaki-Gefäßen aus der Präfektur Gifu. In diesem Stil wird eine weiß glasierte, wabi-sabi-inspirierte Shino-Schale mit Eisenpulver und handgemalten Motiven wie Pflanzen, Blättern und geometrischen Formen verziert. Die Gefäße zeichnen sich durch einen rustikalen, zugleich eleganten Stil aus. Innerhalb der Minoyaki-Keramik ruft der Kobuki-Stil somit die klassische wabi-sabi-Ästhetik hervor – naturverbunden und von schlichter, zeitloser Schönheit.

The Kobuki style is one of the traditional decorative approaches within Minoyaki (Mino ware). It emerged during the Momoyama, Edo period (1603–1868) in Japan, especially on Minoyaki vessels produced in Gifu Prefecture. In this style a white wabi-sabi Shino glaze cup is decorated with iron powder and hand-painted motifs such as plants, leaves, and geometric forms. The vessels are characterized by a rustic yet elegant style. Thus, within Minoyaki ceramics, the Kobuki style evokes the classical wabi-sabi aesthetic, close to nature and beautifully simplicity. Artist: Wada Kazufumi (1945-), Tajimi, Gifu

When we write so much about tea, it’s not because we want to gather a more sophisticated or more mindful tea audience around us, or to appear smarter. Of course not :)
It’s simply so that you don’t just enjoy tea with your mouths, but let your imagination take wings as well. That you may feel the circumstances, recall the faraway mountains, the villages and the people who have nourished and touched these leaves. We hope it is your heart that this distant beauty reaches, making the experience deeper and more enjoyable. So here are some photos of Yiwu Gua Feng Zhai, the source of our sheng puerh tea :)
// Enjoy.

Dear friends in leaves, we have some fresh and wonderfully fragrant oolong teas. For my personal favorite, the Gardenia Oolong, I’ll be sharing a song in the comments 👇. While Ibrahim Ferrer’s version is beautiful, it’s Diego El Cigala’s style that truly captures the character of this tea 💋🩷 which we will all drink together…🌸🌸

Jianshui is one of the four great pottery villages. As ancient as Yixing, yet less known in Europe, but teapots carry a unique charm. Crafted from local clay stone, its teapots and vessels are adorned with delicate carvings and colorful inlays. As the surface is polished, the patterns reveal themselves with striking beauty. It was an honour to meet Shen Hong Zhi, the greatest master again 🥰
