The built-in strainer holds back the leaves as you pour, so you do not need a separate filter. After brewing, the cups stack and the set packs back into its case. The wide opening makes it easy to add leaves, and the filter holes in the lid keep them out of the cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is coarse stoneware?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoarse pottery (cu tao) is made from a clay body with more sand and iron than fine porcelain. It feels slightly gritty in the hand and has a quiet, earthy look. The bases are left unglazed, which is normal for this style. It is well suited to roasted oolong, dark tea and black tea.\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. Wash with plain water only; soap can be absorbed by the unglazed clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the bases unglazed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoarse stoneware is traditionally left unglazed on the foot ring. The bases are ground smooth so they sit flat and will not scratch a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many cups does one brew fill?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe largest vessel holds about 220 ml and each cup about 55 ml, so one brew fills roughly 4 cups. Gongfu-style tea is brewed in several short rounds, so the set easily serves one to two people.\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 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":"Pine Breeze","offer_id":67916922126612,"sku":"MS4095574939-01","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Butterfly \u0026 Flowers","offer_id":67916922159380,"sku":"MS4095574939-02","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magnolia","offer_id":67916922192148,"sku":"MS4095574939-03","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/7353\/6276\/files\/painted-stoneware-travel-tea-set-2-cups-00.webp?v=1793161893","url":"https:\/\/tealibere.com\/products\/painted-stoneware-travel-tea-set-2-cups","provider":"Tealibere","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
