This bundle has everything you need to enjoy tea at home or on the go. It’s the ideal starter kit for the newcomer to loose-leaf tea, or a convenient travel set for the seasoned tea drinker who wants something simple and elegant to brew in and something good to put in it.
Get brewing with our colorful Persimmon Easy Gaiwan Travel Tea Set and 50 grams each of customer favorites Mengding Maofeng (Feather Peak) green tea and Jin Kongque (Golden Peacock) black tea. All of our loose-leaf teas can be steeped at least 4 times, so at 5 grams per serving, that’s over 80 brews! A $93 value bundle at a discount, no less.
The “easy gaiwan” brewing vessel has a strainer built into the lid to filter leaves while you pour it out. That means you can simply put your loose-leaf tea in the bowl to float freely inside, giving the leaves lots of room to open up in the water for the best flavor.
The cheerful design of fruiting persimmon branches is a symbol of good fortune as well as a play on words. In Chinese art, the persimmon shi (柿) is often a visual pun on the phrase shi shi ru yi (柿柿如意), expressing a desire for all your wishes to come true. This makes persimmon-patterned gifts very popular.
