Xiao Qing Gan Glass Tea Pitcher – 500ml | Dedicated Citrus Pu-erh Infuser with Separator

One vessel, designed for one of tea's most beloved rituals. The Xiao Qing Gan Glass Tea Pitcher is purpose-built for brewing Xiao Qing Gan (小青柑) - the celebrated Chinese specialty of aged pu-erh tea packed inside a small green mandarin citrus - with a dedicated cradle that holds the citrus perfectly in place while a built-in separator keeps the tea leaves from your cup. Simple, elegant, and completely at home on any tea table.

What is Xiao Qing Gan? (小青柑)
Xiao Qing Gan - "Little Green Citrus" - is one of the most distinctive and beloved specialties in Chinese tea culture. A small green mandarin orange is carefully hollowed out, filled with aged pu-erh tea, and then dried or baked to create a single, self-contained brewing vessel. When steeped in hot water, the citrus peel releases its bright, aromatic oils into the tea, creating a brew of extraordinary complexity: the deep, earthy warmth of aged pu-erh softened and brightened by the fresh, zesty fragrance of mandarin. It is a tea that tells a story in every sip - of patience, craft, and the alchemy of two ingredients becoming something greater than either alone.

Dedicated Citrus Cradle
At the heart of this pitcher is a specially designed cradle - a dedicated resting place for the Xiao Qing Gan that holds it securely above the water, allowing the hot liquid to circulate freely around and through the citrus while keeping it stable and perfectly positioned. No more balancing acts, no more improvised solutions: this pitcher was made for this tea, and it shows in every detail.

Built-In Tea Separator
The integrated separator keeps loose tea leaves and any citrus pulp cleanly separated from the tea liquor as you pour, delivering a smooth, clear cup every time. Pour directly from the pitcher into your cups without interruption - the separator does its work quietly and completely, so you can focus on the tea.

Crystal Glass Clarity
Crafted from high-quality heat-resistant glass, this pitcher allows you to watch the entire brewing process unfold - the citrus slowly releasing its color and fragrance into the water, the tea deepening from pale gold to rich amber as it steeps. It is a visual pleasure as much as a sensory one, and the glass's clarity means nothing is hidden: the beauty of the brew is on full display from the first pour to the last.

Generous 500ml Capacity
At 500ml, this pitcher is generously sized for sharing - perfect for 3 to 5 guests, or for a long solo session where you want to brew once and pour multiple rounds without interruption. Its substantial size makes it equally suited to a relaxed afternoon at home or a more formal tea gathering.

New to Xiao Qing Gan?
If you have never tried Xiao Qing Gan before, this pitcher is the perfect introduction. Simply place one whole Xiao Qing Gan in the cradle, pour hot water (90–95°C / 194–203°F) over it, steep for 2–3 minutes, and pour. The result is a tea of remarkable depth and fragrance that surprises and delights even experienced tea drinkers. It is one of the most approachable and rewarding entry points into the world of Chinese aged tea.
