Contemporary Tea Maker Concepts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The U Soo Tea Maker Concept Offers a Tranquil Fragrance

— May 23, 2024 — Lifestyle
A team of designers comprised of 빈 허 (Heo Been), Jaewoo Jang, 이 지호 (Jiho Lee), 최 예은 (Choi Yea eun) created the U Soo concept. It is a tea maker that optimizes all of the benefits of drinking and making tea. When brewing a cup of tea, it is connected to the notion of relaxing, and this idea is integrated into the U Soo.

The machine looks like a coffee maker and it evokes a calming scent the entire process starting from when the tea starts to steep until it is poured into the cup. It also boasts a transparent design to add to the therapeutic experience. When the dried leaves begin to brew, the leaves unfurl in the water.
