Brew, strain, then pour into the small cups. After brewing, the cups stack on or inside the main vessel so the whole set packs into the case. A neat row of filter holes keeps the tea clear, and the small spout stops cleanly without dripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy porcelain for a travel tea set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-fired porcelain is dense and smooth, so it does not absorb tea aromas and rinses clean with water. That makes one set suitable for many kinds of tea, which is handy when you can only pack one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set serves one to two people. Pack it for the office, a hotel room, a road trip, a picnic or a campsite, or give it as a tea gift to someone who travels often. Bring your own loose leaf tea and hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse every piece with warm water after use and let them dry completely before packing them into the case, so the case stays fresh. Avoid sudden hot-to-cold temperature changes, and hand wash to protect the decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the gourd shape mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gourd (hulu) sounds like fu lu, blessing and prosperity, in Chinese, so gourd shapes are a classic good-wish gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the travel case protect the cups?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The pieces stack together and fit inside the padded case, which keeps them from knocking against each other in a bag or suitcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/travel-tea-sets\"\u003etravel tea sets\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dehua-white-porcelain\"\u003eDehua white porcelain\u003c\/a\u003e, or read \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/explore-teaware\/how-to-use-a-travel-tea-set\"\u003ehow to use a travel tea set\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tealibere","offers":[{"title":"Pink Gradient","offer_id":67916928483604,"sku":"MS4095578197-01","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Forest Green Gradient","offer_id":67916928516372,"sku":"MS4095578197-02","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bamboo Green","offer_id":67916928549140,"sku":"MS4095578197-03","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cream Yellow","offer_id":67916928581908,"sku":"MS4095578197-04","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/7353\/6276\/files\/gourd-kuaike-travel-tea-set-00.webp?v=1793162908","url":"https:\/\/tealibere.com\/products\/gourd-kuaike-travel-tea-set","provider":"Tealibere","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
