Joey Roth's Sorapot


Joey Roth's Sorapot is now available for purchase.

Sorapot is a minimalist reinterpretation of the teapot. The Sorapot’s glass and metal components are fully recyclable.”


Joey Roth's Inspiration:

I’ve always been entranced by small, beautiful things that are so detailed, they seem like miniature worlds, yet so ordinary they’re often left unnoticed. I designed Sorapot to emphasize one of my favorite- the unfurling of tea leaves. Sorapot suspends the process of tea making in a glass tube a few centimeters above your tabletop. Unlike standard teapots that confine tealeaves in a small mesh basket, your leaves will have full run of Sorapot’s interior as they unfurl and change the hot water into tea. You might even see a tea-colored shadow cast by sunlight that passes through the tube and comes to rest in a gossamer puddle on your table.
