Leather Case Travel Set - Lotus, with a Tea Caddy # 95935

This travel tea set contains a lidded gaiwan, three matching cups, a tea caddy, and a fitted leather case. The padded, shaped interior keeps every piece in place, making a complete gongfu tea setup easy to take along.

The gaiwan, a covered brewing bowl, has been part of Chinese tea practice since the Ming period. It can be used for steeping and pouring, while the accompanying small cups suit shared infusions at the table.

Made in China, the cream ceramic features turquoise lotus leaves, stems, and flowers, with red-edged rims and a dark blue case. Rinse the ceramic promptly after tea and let it dry before packing the set away.
