What does a typical Gongfu tea set include?
A typical Gongfu tea set includes several essential items. First, a gaiwan or teapot is the primary tool used for brewing the tea. Tasting cups are small cups used for sampling the tea. To ensure that each cup has an even concentration of tea, a fairness cup (also known as a tea pitcher) is used to distribute the tea evenly. A tea tray or tea boat is used to catch any spilled tea during the brewing process, keeping the tea set tidy. Additionally, there are tools like a tea scoop, tea spoon, and tea strainer for measuring and handling the tea leaves.
