Acerca de tea.equipment
Un catálogo práctico de utensilios para gongfu, hecho por quienes vierten a diario
Comenzamos tea.equipment porque los recipientes que usamos cada mañana — el gaiwan, la tetera *Yíxīng* (宜兴), el cha hai — merecían una tienda que hablara de ellos con honestidad. Arcilla, peso, curado, reparación. Sin mistificaciones vendidas por gramo.
The team
Who is behind the catalogue
Evgeniy Smoley
Brews in a 110 ml thin-walled gaiwan most mornings. Writes the editorial standard and signs off on artisan listings.
Oleg Kiktenko
Handles the Yixing and Chaozhou workshop relationships. Knows which kilns are running this season and which are not.
Max Mihal
Runs operations and clay logistics. Decides what ships together and how a *zhū ní* (朱泥) pot survives a winter freight route.
Max Grig
Built the shared cart and the material-badge API. Lives in Berlin, brews *yán chá* (岩茶) on a small *duàn ní* (段泥) pot.
Dmitry Sologubov
Manages partnerships with brokers and importers. The reason long kiln-run orders actually get paid for on time.
Victor Kornev
Strategic advisor across the constellation. Asks the slow questions that keep the catalogue from growing too fast.
