Travel Gongfu Tea Set – Crude Pottery Easy Gaiwan, Black

A good cup of tea, wherever you are — that's what this travel tea set is for. An easy gaiwan and three cups, packed into a hard travel capsule, ready for a trip, the office, or a slow morning at home.

An easy gaiwan is just a friendlier gaiwan — a lidded brewing bowl with a shaped rim you pour from by hand. You get the clean, open brewing of a classic gaiwan, with none of the fuss. This one is made in Dehua, Fujian, with a soft matte crude-pottery finish in black outside and a smooth white glaze within.

It's tough, light and genuinely practical — a portable tea set that travels well and makes a thoughtful tea set gift.

What tea to drink with this set

An easy gaiwan brews just like a regular gaiwan — open, neutral and quick to cool — so it's happiest with lighter, fragrant teas, and you can switch between teas freely:

Black tea and everyday pu-erh work too. For darker, aged teas, clay teaware suits them better.

Which Chinese teaware suits which tea

A quick guide to matching a ceramic gaiwan, ceramic teapot or zisha clay teapot to the tea you drink.

White tea (fresh) Best Too hot Avoid
Yellow tea Best Too hot Avoid
Oolong tea (light) Great Works Good
Oolong tea (roasted) Works Works Best
Black tea Good Good Good
Raw pu-erh (young) Best Too hot Duanni clay
Ripe / aged pu-erh OK Works Best
Hei cha (dark tea) OK Works Best

Best / good  Works  Avoid

Ceramic gaiwan — neutral and quick to cool, so it brews delicate teas without stewing them. Best for green tea, white tea, yellow tea and young raw pu-erh.

Ceramic teapot — holds heat a little longer. A versatile all-rounder, best for black tea and relaxed everyday brewing.

Zisha clay teapot — retains heat and seasons over time, deepening the brew. Best for roasted oolong, black tea, ripe pu-erh and hei cha. Use one tea per pot, as the clay holds onto flavour.

Duanni clay is a porous type of zisha clay that breathes more than most. It softens astringency, which makes it the one clay that suits young raw pu-erh as well as lighter teas.
