Travel Gongfu Tea Set – Ji Lan Sapphire Blue Teapot

Travel Gongfu Tea Set – Ji Lan Sapphire Blue Teapot

A good cup of tea, wherever you are — that's what this travel tea set is for. A side-handle teapot with a built-in infuser and three cups, packed into a hard travel capsule, ready for a trip, the office, or a slow morning at home.

It's made in Dehua, Fujian, glazed in Ji Lan — a deep, classic Chinese sapphire blue — and decorated with gold lotus motifs that give it a calm, almost devotional feel. The side handle pours with a simple turn of the wrist, and the inbuilt infuser keeps the leaves out of your cup.

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

What tea to drink with this set

The glaze is neutral and won't hold flavour, so you can brew freely. A teapot holds heat a little longer than a gaiwan, which makes it a comfortable all-rounder — especially good for fuller, warmer teas:

• Oolong tea — the held heat suits both light and roasted styles
• Black tea — a teapot is the natural home for a warm, malty brew
• Jasmine tea and other scented teas — easy, everyday pours
• Ripe pu-erh — fine for relaxed daily drinking

For delicate green tea, white tea or yellow tea, a gaiwan gives you finer control over heat — see the guide below.

What's in the box

• 1 × side-handle teapot (260ml) with built-in infuser · 3 × tea cups (60ml) · 1 × hard travel capsule
• A complete travel tea set — brew, strain and pour from one pot
• Dehua ceramic in a deep Ji Lan sapphire blue glaze with gold lotus motifs
• Built-in infuser keeps leaves out of your cup; side handle pours easily

At home, set it on a tea tray to catch the water; when you head out, it all packs back into the capsule.
