This travel kung fu tea set is a red porcelain teapot and cup set that packs into a carry bag, so you can brew gongfu-style tea at home, at the office, or on the road. The teapot holds 200 ml (6.8 oz) and each cup holds 60 ml (2 oz).
Gongfu tea (功夫茶, gōngfū chá) means tea made with skill and care. Instead of one big mug, you brew a small pot with plenty of leaf, pour short infusions, and sip from small cups. Each steep brings out a different side of the tea, so a single session can last an hour without the leaves going flat.
This set brings that ritual anywhere. The compact teapot and cups store in the bag, and the red porcelain is the color of luck and celebration at Lunar New Year. Sharing tea is a traditional way to welcome family and friends in the new year, which makes this a natural gift for anyone who enjoys the ritual or wants to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kung fu tea set?
It is a set of small teaware used for gongfu tea, a Chinese brewing method that uses a small teapot, more leaf, and short steeping times. The tea is poured into small cups and sipped slowly, and the same leaves are steeped several times.
What teas work best in this set?
Gongfu brewing suits oolong, pu-erh, black tea, and white tea especially well, since these leaves open up over several infusions. Green tea works too, with cooler water and shorter steeps.
How do I brew tea in a small teapot?
Fill the pot about a third to a half with leaves, rinse them quickly with hot water, then steep for 10 to 30 seconds and pour out every drop. Add a few seconds to each following infusion.
How much does the teapot hold?
The teapot holds 200 ml (6.8 oz) and each cup holds 60 ml (2 oz).
Is it a good Lunar New Year gift?
Yes. Red is the traditional color of luck at Lunar New Year, and tea is a classic way to share good wishes. The carry bag makes it easy to give and easy to use afterward.
