Most gongfu sets are too expensive for my wallet but I found one for
$15 that is slightly glazed red clay with tea boat and tray,six
cups,teapot and gaiwan. The clay is thin and fragile and probably hot
to the touch. This was the last set but more in about a month. I've
got commercial packaging which shows gaiwan and cups on a boat. Maybe
it is more common to use gaiwan than teapot. I've been looking for a
good commercial brand everyday TieGuanYin. I found a 200g/$10 tin
which is all Chinese inscription except for the brewing instructions
which says can be done 10 times. I can't tell the name of the company.
It is light green taste and infusion with some bush. It came in
nitrogen pack. I got a 300g/$12 very ornate stamped silver tin of
Taiwan Pouchong from Hsin Tung Yang. It is mostly whole slightly
twisted leaf. It is my first cannister with Pouchong characters. It
came in thick cellophane but inner lid and cap. It is comparable in
quality too my local tea shoppe. I know anything I find in my
Chinatown is a tease but I like to hunt and report.
