The assassin’s teapot is a low-tech countertop appliance for throwing a great tea party, but it’s also a designed object that sits on your counter like a piece of kitchen sculpture.
Assassin’s Teapot, also known as “Liang Xin Teapot” in ancient Chinese history, “Liang Xin” means two cores in one teapot, which stands for two different beverages in one pot.

Known as the “Assassin’s Teapot,” this Chinese innovation pours both tea and milk with complete smoothness.
