A complete gongfu tea set, made entirely in Longquan Kiln style celadon with six matching cups, a teapot, a pitcher, and a tea strainer with stand. All pieces are glazed in a rich green and lightly carved with a lotus pattern.
There is both a built-in strainer behind the spout of the teapot as well as a standalone mesh strainer that fits over the included pitcher. The pitcher (also called a “fairness cup”) lets the infusion mix evenly, creating an even flavor as well as helping cool your tea.
The set is optimized for the gongfu brewing style. The idea of gongfu tea is to make a good cup of tea through patience and the practice of technique. Gongfu tea brewing often makes several very short infusions in a gaiwan or small teapot to make multiple full-flavored cups of tea from one large batch of tea leaves. All you need is good tea, good water, and good company and you’ll be practicing your gongfu.
