In the Chinese tea culture, to make a good cup of tea, the grams of tea leaves and the amount of water vary in the type of tea. Among traditional Chinese tea-making tools, “tea gauge” plays the role as “a measure of tea”. But for a long time, users have estimated the weight of tea leaves by eye-measurement, which cannot be accurate. Therefore, we add the core function of a tea gauge to its existing form, i.e. standard weighing.
The perfect combination of traditional tea gauge with modern electronics and intelligentand technology, and a number of exclusive technology patents,we initiated the “weighing tea gauge II”. We proposed the design concept of intelligence hidden in culture., hide the visual weighing display on the surface, wake up when in use, hide the intelligence invisible; balance traditional aesthetics and smart technology, and better integrate into the atmosphere of the tea table.
