This portable tea set is designed for the drinker who takes their practice seriously enough to bring it along: a heat-resistant glass teapot with a natural walnut handle, a ceramic filter with precision-drilled holes, a snug-fitting lid with a tight seal, and a porcelain tasting cup, all housed in a compact hard-shell travel case that fits in a bag without thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe components are sized for intention: the teapot holds 300ml — enough for two to three pours of a quality oolong or rock tea — and the cup, at 50ml, keeps each serving at the temperature and volume where the tea is most expressive. The set is designed around the gongfu method, but works equally well for anyone who wants a clean, considered cup on the go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Walnut Handle — Heat-Insulating, Comfortable to Hold\u003c\/strong\u003e — The teapot handle is turned from solid walnut — a material that insulates naturally against heat, develops a warm patina with use, and provides a secure, comfortable grip whether the pot is full or empty. It is the detail that distinguishes this set from glass-only travel teapots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-Drilled Ceramic Filter — Clean Pour, No Leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e — The filter insert is ceramic with closely spaced, uniformly drilled holes that catch loose-leaf tea effectively without restricting flow. The pour is smooth and clean; no sediment, no clogging, no metal taste. The filter lifts out cleanly for rinsing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTight-Fitting Lid — Sealed for Heat Retention\u003c\/strong\u003e — The lid is precision-fitted to the teapot body with a close tolerance that minimizes heat loss during steeping and prevents spills during transport. It seats firmly and releases cleanly — no rattling, no leaking when the pot is tilted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat-Resistant Borosilicate Glass — Suitable for Hot and Cold Brew\u003c\/strong\u003e — The teapot body is borosilicate glass, which tolerates boiling water without thermal shock and allows you to see the liquor color and leaf movement during steeping. The glass is thin enough to be elegant, thick enough to be durable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Hard-Shell Travel Case — Protects Without Bulk\u003c\/strong\u003e — The included case is a semi-rigid shell with a leather pull tab and a full zipper closure. It holds the teapot and cup securely in transit — no rattling, no padding required — and fits into a backpack side pocket or carry-on bag without difficulty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet Contents \u0026amp; Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTeapot (borosilicate glass, walnut handle, ceramic filter): 300ml capacity — W 8.2cm × H 12.2cm\u003cbr\u003e\nTasting cup (porcelain): 50ml capacity — W 5.4cm × H 3.7cm\u003cbr\u003e\nTravel case (semi-rigid shell, leather pull tab, full zipper): fits teapot and cup\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterials: borosilicate glass, natural walnut, ceramic, porcelain\u003cbr\u003e\nSuitable for: loose-leaf tea, gongfu-style brewing, hot and cold infusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1. Rinse the teapot and cup with hot water before brewing to pre-warm the vessel and remove any storage odors.\u003cbr\u003e\n2. Place loose-leaf tea in the ceramic filter insert. For oolong or rock tea: approximately 5–6g per 300ml. For green tea or white tea: 3–4g per 300ml.\u003cbr\u003e\n3. Pour water at the appropriate temperature for your tea (167–176°F for green and light oolong; 195–205°F for rock oolong and black tea).\u003cbr\u003e\n4. Steep for 45–90 seconds for the first infusion, adjusting for subsequent steeps. The glass body lets you monitor the liquor color directly.\u003cbr\u003e\n5. Pour into the 50ml cup in a single continuous motion. The ceramic filter retains the leaves; the pour is clean and controlled.\u003cbr\u003e\n6. The teapot yields 3–4 infusions from a single measure of quality loose-leaf tea.\u003cbr\u003e\n7. After use, remove the filter insert, rinse the teapot and cup under warm water, and allow to air dry before returning to the travel case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this set suitable for use on planes or in hotel rooms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. The travel case is sized for carry-on use and passes standard airline security without issue. In a hotel room, the teapot works with water from an electric kettle — which is standard equipment in most hotels outside the United States. For domestic US travel, a portable travel kettle is a useful addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this set for cold brew?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. Add your tea leaves to the filter, fill with cold filtered water, seal the lid, and refrigerate for 4–8 hours depending on the tea type. The borosilicate glass is suitable for cold temperatures. The tight-fitting lid prevents refrigerator odors from entering during steeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I clean the ceramic filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Rinse the filter under warm running water after each use. For deeper cleaning, soak in warm water for a few minutes and rinse again. The precision-drilled holes clear easily with water pressure; a soft brush can be used if needed. Do not use soap on the filter unless rinsed very thoroughly, as ceramic retains soap odor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the walnut handle attached permanently?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The handle is fixed to the teapot body and is not designed to be removed for cleaning. Wipe the handle with a damp cloth as needed — do not submerge it in water or put it in a dishwasher. Over time, the walnut will develop a natural patina from handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What teas work best with this set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The 300ml volume and 50ml cup are sized for gongfu-style brewing, which is most rewarding with teas that develop across multiple infusions — oolong (Wuyi rock oolong, Dancong), aged white tea, and high-grade green teas. The ceramic filter handles both tightly rolled and open-leaf styles without adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Celadon","offer_id":44003821060159,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clear","offer_id":44003821092927,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":44003821125695,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sky-blue","offer_id":44003821158463,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Egg-yolk yellow","offer_id":44003821191231,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/04___processed_shopify.jpg?v=1790646736"},{"product_id":"japanese-style-8-piece-matcha-tea-set-hand-painted-ceramic","title":"Japanese-style 8-Piece Matcha Tea Set – Hand-Painted Ceramic","description":"\u003cp\u003eMatcha has a method. This set is built around it. Designed in a Japanese aesthetic with hand-painted spring field motifs, the ovanyu 8-piece matcha set brings together everything needed for a complete matcha preparation — a ceramic matcha bowl, a bamboo whisk, a whisk holder, a bamboo scoop, a ceramic scoop rest, a fine-mesh sifter, a pouring vessel, and a linen storage pouch — each piece chosen for how it works in the hand and how it sits on a surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ceramics are made in a traditional Japanese style with a hand-applied glaze and spring field illustrations painted in underglaze before firing. No two pieces are identical. The palette is restrained: soft ivory, warm sage, and ink-line botanicals — imagery that references the seasonal quality of good matcha without overstating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Painted Spring Field Motifs — Each Piece Is Individual\u003c\/strong\u003e — The ceramic pieces in this set are decorated by hand before firing, using underglaze techniques that produce fine-line botanical illustrations that are fixed permanently into the surface. The motifs vary slightly piece to piece. This is not a defect; it is the nature of hand-painted ceramics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Aesthetic, Complete Matcha Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e — The set is composed around the full matcha preparation sequence: sift, scoop, whisk, pour, rest. Every tool has a place, and every ceramic piece has a corresponding rest or holder so nothing sits directly on the counter surface. The result is a setup that looks considered because it is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic Bowl Sized for Usucha and Koicha\u003c\/strong\u003e — The matcha bowl (chawan) is proportioned for both thin-style (usucha) and thick-style (koicha) preparation. The interior curvature supports the circular whisking motion without the whisk catching on the walls. The rim is wide enough for drinking directly from the bowl.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBamboo Whisk and Holder Included\u003c\/strong\u003e — The chasen is a hand-tied 80-tine bamboo whisk suitable for full emulsification of matcha powder. The ceramic whisk holder keeps the tines in their curved form when the whisk is not in use, extending its working life significantly compared to storing it flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinen Storage Pouch — Packaged for Gifting or Travel\u003c\/strong\u003e — The set ships in a natural linen drawstring pouch that holds all eight components.

Sifting breaks up clumps and produces a smoother final texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n2. \u003cstrong\u003eAdd water:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour approximately 60–75ml of hot water (not boiling — 160–175°F \/ 70–80°C) into the bowl over the sifted matcha.\u003cbr\u003e\n3. \u003cstrong\u003eWhisk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Using the bamboo whisk, move in a rapid W or M motion (not circular) until the matcha is fully emulsified and a light foam forms on the surface. This typically takes 20–30 seconds.\u003cbr\u003e\n4. \u003cstrong\u003ePour and drink:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drink directly from the bowl, or pour into a cup using the ceramic pouring vessel for a more controlled serve.

The underglaze decoration and glaze surface will deteriorate with repeated dishwasher cycles. Hand-wash with warm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Mild dish soap is fine on the ceramic pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the painted motifs fade or chip over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The illustrations are applied in underglaze before firing, which means they are fired into the ceramic surface rather than applied on top of it. With normal hand-washing care, the decoration is durable and will not fade with regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What grade of matcha works best with this set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Ceremonial-grade matcha produces the best results with this set — finer particle size, fuller emulsification, and more pronounced aroma. Culinary-grade matcha can be used and will produce a serviceable cup, but the flavor profile is typically more bitter and less nuanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this set suitable for someone learning matcha preparation for the first time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. The set includes every tool needed for the full preparation process. The bamboo scoop takes the guesswork out of measuring, and the sifter step — which many entry-level matcha kits omit — makes a noticeable difference in the final texture. The instructions above are sufficient to produce a good cup from the first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this set suitable as a gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. The linen storage pouch holds all eight pieces and presents cleanly without additional gift wrapping.

The natural stone surface has tonal and textural variation that makes each tray slightly different from the next. Dark grey is the consistent base tone, but the mineral patterning, cleft depth, and surface color distribution vary naturally between pieces. This is characteristic of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the stone surface porous? Will it stain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Natural stone surfaces have some porosity. Wiping the tray dry after each session and avoiding leaving wet items sitting on the surface for extended periods will minimize any staining risk.

The tray body is formed from melamine — a dense, non-porous material that resists moisture, does not absorb tea staining, and wipes clean without the care requirements of wood or stone. The surface is finished in a matte black texture that references the appearance of wu jin (black gold) stone, and the center drainage area is fitted with a cast alloy hexagonal lattice insert that allows water to pass through while supporting cups and small vessels above the tray floor.

The brush is built from three components: a turned hardwood handle in black walnut or rosewood, a brass ferrule that joins the handle to the bristle head, and a soft natural-fiber bristle head shaped as a fan or flat angled form. The brass end cap at the base of the handle adds visual balance and keeps the handle from splitting at the tip end.
