What a lovely object
This set it's just a joy to use. It is carefully engineered and occupies very little space once in its bag. It elevates the whole tea drinking experience and allows you a different, deeper approach to the tea you are brewing.
Wooden handle broke quickly
I loved this little set at first, but after very few uses, the wooden handle snapped off the lid! Unfortunately, it's not merely decorative—that's where you put your index finger when straining to avoid contact with the hot ceramic. It seems like it was glued on, so I'll try getting some super glue and repairing it. Disappointing, though, as it seemed well-constructed on first glance.
Fits perfect.
It fits neatly into my Stanley lunch box along with my Stanley Thermos and 3 Tins of loose leaf tea. My crew thinks im cute and the hardware Store manager “whom I have tea with occasionally” calls me a classy !$”*# This tea set certainly has made the the classiest painter in Ypsilanti Michigan.
Amazing set great quality
I am beyond pleased with this little set. It comes with very well made Gaiwan, 3 cups, Gong Dao Bei, Tea Cloth/Towel, and Travel Case. All superb quality and fits very neatly into the travel bag/case so takes up very little space. Upon trying it with a few different teas I have noticed that it the leaves are finer they do sometimes pour out of the lids filter. However, this is easily avoided by careful pouring or by doing what I did and ordering the over cup tea strainer. This combination is pure bliss and highly recommend getting this especially if you are new to the gong fu still of tea brewing or want to take this on the go.
