Three Ways to Brew

One of the strongest advantages of this set is the choice of three brewing vessels.

Xishi-Style Teapot — Approx. 220 mL

A softly rounded teapot inspired by the balanced proportions of traditional Xishi-style Chinese teaware.

Its 220 mL capacity makes it a versatile choice for repeated infusions shared among several people.

Choose it when you prefer:

• A traditional rounded teapot form

• Balanced everyday Gongfu brewing

• A slightly larger shared infusion

• Familiar side-handle pouring

Overhead-Handle Teapot — Approx. 210 mL

A second brewing vessel with a distinctive elevated handle and more vertical silhouette.

Choose it when you prefer:

• Overhead-handle pouring

• A different ergonomic feel

• A more sculptural vessel

• Shared repeated infusions

Gaiwan — Approx. 170 mL

A versatile three-piece lidded bowl offering more direct control over infusion time and pouring.

Choose it when you prefer:

• Smaller repeated infusions

• Direct control over brewing

• Aroma exploration

• Comparing the changing character of a tea from steep to steep

Three vessels.

Three different brewing experiences.

Choose according to the tea, occasion and way you want to brew.

What’s Included

1 × Xishi-Style Teapot

Approx. 220 mL

A rounded traditional-style brewing vessel for smaller repeated infusions.

1 × Overhead-Handle Teapot

Approx. 210 mL

A distinctive second teapot with an elevated handle and Eastern-inspired silhouette.

1 × Gaiwan

Approx. 170 mL

A versatile lidded brewing vessel for controlled Gongfu-inspired preparation.

1 × Fairness Pitcher

Approx. 250 mL

Collects the brewed tea before serving and helps distribute the infusion more evenly among the cups.

8 × Tea Cups

Approx. 90 mL Each

Eight coordinated cups create a generous setting for tea shared with family, friends and guests.

1 × Tea Canister

Approx. 200 mL

A matching storage vessel for keeping loose-leaf tea close to the tea table.

1 × Tea Wash

Approx. 1100 mL

A larger coordinating vessel for rinsing and organizing teaware during the tea session.

Tea Strainer Set

A coordinated strainer set supporting a cleaner serving flow.

Keeps the traditional tea accessories together and organized.

Tea Tray

A coordinated base for arranging the complete tea setting.

Matching Ashtray

A matching ceramic accessory included in the supplied configuration.

The tea utensil and strainer sets contain multiple components, so this collection is better described as a complete Gongfu tea setting rather than by a single fixed total piece count.

Dimensions & Capacities

Overhead-Handle Teapot	210 mL	11.5 × 14 cm

Measurements and capacities are approximate and may vary slightly due to manual measurement.

Why the 90 mL Cups Matter

Compared with many Gongfu sets that use 30–50 mL tasting cups, this collection includes:

8 × Approx. 90 mL Cups

That makes the set feel more generous for shared tea.

The cups still work naturally with repeated infusions, but they provide:

More Comfortable Serving Volume · Less Frequent Refilling · Easier Shared Tea

This can be especially appealing for:

• Family gatherings

• Guests

• Longer conversations around tea

• People transitioning from larger Western-style cups toward Gongfu-inspired brewing

Why Use a Fairness Pitcher?

Tea continues extracting while it remains in the brewing vessel.

If tea is poured directly into several cups one by one, the first and last cup may not have exactly the same strength.

The fairness pitcher allows the full infusion to be collected first.

It can then be shared more evenly among the cups.

The 250 mL fairness pitcher is well matched to all three brewing vessels in the set.

The serving flow becomes:

Teapot or Gaiwan → Fairness Pitcher → Cups

Timeless Blue & White

Blue-and-white ceramic decoration has a strong visual association with Chinese decorative arts.

In this collection, intricate blue botanical patterns move across warm ivory ceramic surfaces.

The limited palette keeps the setting cohesive:

Blue Detail · Warm Ivory Ground · Traditional Form

The design feels detailed without becoming visually heavy.

Traditional in inspiration.

Refined enough for a contemporary home.

Classic Form · Quiet Detail · Timeless Eastern Beauty

Semi-Handmade in Dehua, China

The product is described as:

Semi-Handmade

and:

Made in Dehua, China

This gives the set an important craft and origin story.

Dehua is closely associated with Chinese ceramic production, making the origin especially relevant for customers interested in Chinese teaware.

For this set, the combination is:

Dehua Ceramic Craft + Traditional Gongfu Forms + Blue-and-White Botanical Design

Made for the Rhythm of Gongfu Tea

The three brewing vessels allow different approaches, but the core rhythm stays the same:

Measure the leaves

↓

Add water

↓

Brew a smaller infusion

↓

Pour into the fairness pitcher

↓

Share among the cups

↓

Return to the leaves

↓

Brew again

That repetition is one of the defining pleasures of Gongfu-inspired tea.

The set gives you enough variety to change the vessel without changing the basic ritual.

Which Teas Work Well with This Set?

Oolong Tea

Aromatic & Layered

Oolong is especially suited to repeated Gongfu-style infusions because its aroma and structure can evolve over several steeps.

Pu-erh Tea

Deep & Evolving

Pu-erh naturally suits longer tea sessions and repeated short infusions.

Black Tea

Warm & Aromatic

Selected Chinese Black Teas can offer fuller aroma and body in smaller repeated servings.

Gentle & Refined

A softer option for quieter tea sessions.

Green Tea

Fresh & Clear

Green Tea can also be prepared with the set, using appropriate lower water temperatures for the selected tea.
