Jesse's Teahouse Gongfu Tea Tray

Yes, this set is designed to be an all-in-one entry point. It includes all the essential tools—like the gaiwan, pitcher, and cups—so you don't need to source individual components separately to start your practice.

The case is built with protective foam padding specifically molded to fit each ceramic and glass piece. It is designed to keep your tea ware secure and rattle-free during transit, making it a reliable choice for taking your tea ritual on the road.

To keep the bamboo surface in good condition, wipe it dry after each use and avoid letting it soak in standing water. Occasional oiling with food-safe mineral oil can also help prevent the wood from drying out or cracking over time.

A tea pet is a traditional companion used in Gongfu tea ceremonies. It is meant to be placed on your tea tray and 'fed' with leftover tea or rinse water, developing a seasoned patina and character the more you use it.

Yes, 120ml is a classic size for a gaiwan. It is large enough to brew a substantial amount of tea for multiple people while remaining small enough to control the steep time precisely, which is crucial for Gongfu brewing.

This set is versatile and can be used for any tea variety, from delicate green teas to robust oolongs or pu-erhs. Because the brewing vessel is ceramic, it won't retain flavors as much as unglazed clay might, allowing you to switch between tea types easily.
