Weekly Progress

Week 4/Collect data and Interview

Interview
Date : 2 March 2025

Venue: Visit Kuala Lumpur's Fanjian Teahouse

Location : LG 03A 05-06, Wisma Mca, 163, Jln Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

In the fourth week, we decided to go to a teahouse for an interview. After researching in RedNOTE, we made an appointment and decided to go to Fanjian Teahouse in Kuala Lumpur. This teahouse provides a place to sell and taste Chinese tea, and collects many ceramic teacups, which is very suitable for our theme. In addition, we also visited the famous Ziteng teahouse in Kuala Lumpur and learned more about tea culture, ceramic teacups and its development in Malaysia from different perspectives.

Fanjian Teahouse reflects the integration of traditional Chinese tea culture and modern tea culture. There are not only traditional wooden tea tables and ceramic teacups, but also modern new teacups. Here, we discussed with the owner of Fanjian Teahouse about the integration and development of ceramic teacups and Chinese tea in Malaysia.

In Ziteng Tea Room, we visited many different ceramic teacups, from different styles in different eras to various types of ceramics. We have a deeper understanding of tea culture and the design history of teacups, and we are interested in all kinds of tea sold in Malaysia.

Reflections

Our group visited the Fanjian teahouse and Ziteng teahouse in Kuala Lumpur on the weekend of the fourth week. And we also discussed the development of traditional Chinese tea culture in Malaysia and the market acceptance of ceramic tea cups with the owner of fanjian teahouse.

The classification of ceramic teacups is different from the origin, the pattern or retro or modern. The teacups sold by fanjian teahouse are not only traditional ceramic teacups, mostly landscape paintings or animal and plant patterns, but also new ceramic teacups with simpler designs. In terms of market acceptance, traditional ceramic teacups still have a wide market, and the retro aesthetics of the ceramic teacup market is particularly obvious.

This visit gave me a more intuitive understanding of the market acceptance of ceramic teacups. Traditional ceramic teacups are still favored by tea culture lovers, especially those with retro patterns and a sense of history, but modern teacups are also marketed, especially among young consumers.
