To serve, tilt the lid slightly to hold back the leaves and pour through the gap into the cups. The flared rim stays cooler than the bowl, so hold the gaiwan by the rim and lid knob. The grainy clay surface has a soft, natural feel, and the unglazed foot rings are ground smooth.\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 two to four 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\u003eCan I use it every day at home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The gift box keeps the pieces safe for storage or travel, but the gaiwan and cups are full-size Gongfu pieces for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many cups does one brew fill?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe largest vessel holds about 170 ml and each cup about 52 ml, so one brew fills roughly 3 cups. Gongfu-style tea is brewed in several short rounds, so the set easily serves two to four 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":"Landscape","offer_id":67916923961620,"sku":"MS4095574946-01","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/7353\/6276\/files\/stoneware-landscape-gaiwan-tea-set-00.webp?v=1793162058","url":"https:\/\/tealibere.com\/products\/stoneware-landscape-gaiwan-tea-set","provider":"Tealibere","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
