vv8oo Gaiwan Tea Set 100ml - Chinese Gongfu Tea Ceremony Set White

A white porcelain gaiwan set with lid, bowl and saucer holding 100 ml (3.4 oz), a small size made for gongfu style brewing with short, repeated steeps.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + The 100 ml capacity is listed as a personal gongfu size, which suits short steeps and many infusions of oolong, pu-erh or green tea.
  • + Three-piece design with lid, bowl and saucer lets you control steeping time, and the listing notes a wide rim for pouring.
  • + Described as high-fired porcelain with a smooth glaze, a neutral material that is usual for gongfu brewing.

Trade-offs

  • - At 100 ml it serves one or two small sips at a time, so it is not meant for brewing a large pot for several people.
  • - Porcelain gets hot to the touch, and the listing gives no heat-safe handling detail beyond a wide rim, so pouring takes some practice.
