This little two-piece vessel makes preparing and drinking tea easy and portable. The set is something of a cross between a Chinese gaiwan and a traditional teapot and cup. Just place loose tea leaves in the small pot, pour hot water over the leaves and let steep. When ready to drink, hold the two finger knobs on the sides, and pour the tea through the built-in strainer into the cup, allowing the leaves to remain in the pot. Holds enough for several sips. Pour more hot water over the leaves for a second or third infusion. The cup also sits upside down on top of the pot for storage or while brewing to keep tea hot.
