Brew a pot of loose leaf tea, light a coil of sandalwood beside it, and give the next half hour to the tea instead of drinking it standing up at the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo tea bag left stewing in a mug. No big pot going cold and bitter while you finish the first cup. Just a small pot, four small cups, and fresh tea poured off a little at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA small pot is the whole point\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGongfu tea is brewed in short, repeated rounds. You put the leaves and hot water in the pot, pour the whole lot off into the cups after a short steep, then pour more water onto the same leaves and go again. The teapot holds 180 ml and each cup holds 30 ml, so every round empties into the cups instead of sitting on the leaves while you drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot is the classic round, low shape, with a short spout, a ring handle at the back and a ball knob on the lid. A small hole in the lid lets the steam out. A braided cord with red beads runs from the knob to the handle, and the whole piece carries a deep, glossy glaze that catches the light from the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncense in the same box as the tea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost tea sets stop at the cups. This one also gives you a small round incense burner, glazed in a soft blue-grey on three short feet, with a pierced lid of raised flowers and leaves in an antique gold finish. Lay a coil of incense in the bowl, light the end and put the lid back on. The smoke drifts out through the gaps in the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA paper tube of sandalwood coil incense comes in the box, along with a slim tea clip, so the first session needs nothing else except your own tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeal or mint, with or without a brush\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe teapot and the four cups come in two colors. Teal is a deep blue-green that looks rich on dark wood. Mint is a pale, soft green that sits quietly on a light table or a white shelf. The incense burner is the same blue-grey in both, so it goes with either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Set + Tea Brush versions add a small brush with a dark handle, for sweeping spilled water and stray leaves off the table or a tea tray. Everything arrives in its own fitted tray inside a navy box printed with koi and waves, with a matching carry bag, which makes it an easy gift for anyone who would rather sit down with their tea than rush it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType: Gongfu tea set with teapot, four cups and incense burner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Ceramic (porcelain)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColors: Teal, Mint (teapot and cups; the incense burner is blue-grey on both)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyles: Set Only, Set + Tea Brush\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeapot dimensions: 4.9 x 3.1 in (12.5 x 8 cm), spout to handle and height\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeapot capacity: 6 oz (180 ml)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCup dimensions: 2.4 x 1.2 in (6.2 x 3 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCup capacity: 1 oz (30 ml)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServes: 4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncense burner dimensions: 3.5 x 2.6 in (9 x 6.5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncense tube dimensions: 2.6 x 3.3 in (6.5 x 8.5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncense: Sandalwood coil incense\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea clip length: 6.7 in (17 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea brush length: 6.1 in (15.5 cm), Set + Tea Brush only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGift bag dimensions: 12 x 9.1 in (30.5 x 23 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse: Loose leaf tea at home, in the office or in a quiet corner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Porcelain Teapot with Lid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4x Porcelain Teacups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Incense Burner with Lid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Tube of Sandalwood Coil Incense\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Tea Clip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Tea Brush (Set + Tea Brush only)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ridgewell Living","offers":[{"title":"Teal \/ Set Only","offer_id":68179974127912,"sku":null,"price":113.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Teal \/ Set + Tea Brush","offer_id":68179974160680,"sku":null,"price":121.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mint \/ Set Only","offer_id":68179974193448,"sku":null,"price":113.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mint \/ Set + Tea Brush","offer_id":68179974226216,"sku":null,"price":121.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9430\/5064\/files\/0809-07-teal-gift-box.png?v=1794632540","url":"https:\/\/ridgewellliving.com\/en-au\/products\/gongfu-tea-set-with-teapot-4-cups-and-incense-burner-in-a-gift-box","provider":"Ridgewell Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
