Gongfu Tea Set with Han Wa Shape Teapot - 100 ml (4 Cups + Fairness Pitcher)

A complete gongfu tea brewing set built around a Han Wa Yixing (zisha) clay teapot, designed for traditional Chinese tea preparation at home.

The Han Wa (汉瓦) is a classical Chinese teapot form inspired by Han dynasty roof tiles. Its low cylindrical body, broad opening, flat lid, and distinctive arched lid handle create a compact shape well suited to short, controlled gongfu infusions.

The set includes the essential pieces for gongfu-style brewing: a 100 ml Han Wa teapot, four porcelain tasting cups for sharing, and a glass fairness pitcher (cha hai) for distributing each infusion evenly.

Suitable for oolong, pu-erh, black, and white tea.

What’s included

• Han Wa Yixing clay teapot — 100 ml
• 4 porcelain tasting cups — 25 ml each
• Glass fairness pitcher (cha hai) — approx. 200 ml
• Gift box packaging

Materials & craftsmanship

• Teapot: Yixing (zisha) clay, unglazed
  Traditional porous clay used in Chinese tea brewing. With repeated use, the clay gradually interacts with tea oils and develops its own surface character and patina.

• Cups: porcelain
  A neutral material that allows the aroma, taste, and colour of the tea to remain clearly expressed.

• Pitcher: heat-resistant glass
  The transparent cha hai makes it easy to observe the colour and clarity of each infusion while distributing the brewed tea evenly between cups.

Individual pieces may show slight variations in clay tone, surface, and finish.
