Maybe you already have a perfect gongfu setup, or you just need want to pick out a special teapot or gaiwan. This kit rounds up all the trimmings for serious gongfu brewing that you might not already have on hand- a chahai to present dry tea leaves and filter them into your teapot, a full set of tea tools, a tea cloth for catching drips or polishing your yixing between uses, and the critical water bowl for holding rinses or extra tea in a modern gongfu setup without a draining teaboard.
The ubiquitous tea cloth is a critical part of any gongfu tea ceremony. A cloth is critical to dab any drips from pitcher or pot as your pour, to wipe down your tea board between uses and to polish your yixing, jian zhan, celadon, or any other pottery that grows more beautiful over many uses. The soft absorbent material was designed specifically with teaware in mind.
Everything you could possibly need for a full modern gongfu tea set up - alll in a convenient travel gear case! Modern Gongfu is a versatile, adaptable evolution of classic gongfu that skips the tea board in favor of a bowl to collect excess tea and water. This allows the whole set up to travel from room to room, on trips, to the park, etc without the bulk of a board, but with absolutely every tool for full gongfu ritual. The high-fired vitrified porcelain is made by Pengyuan Qinghua Studio to bring out the aromatics of fine tea. The set includes a gaiwan, four guest cups and one taller host cup, a tea presentation boat or “chahe,” a glass pitcher, a water bowl, a porcelain canister to protect your favorite tea, a tea towel to catch any drips, a runner, bamboo tweezers for tea cups, a bamboo tea scoop, and finally, a porcelain lid holder for your gaiwan lid to rest while you pour.
This saucer is perfect as a tea boat for modern gongfu brewing where you skip a full tea board. The saucer will catch any small drips from your teapot or pitcher and act as a beautiful understated backdrop while you brew. The saucer also works beautifully as a paring with any saucerless celadon gaiwans in the collection if you prefer the look and feel of a saucer set-up, but is equally at home with an yixing pot.
