Egg Lotus Tea Utensil Set

"Cha Dao" (the Way of Tea) is a set of tools that is used when brewing tea using traditional Chinese Gong Fu tea wares. This Egg Lotus Tea Utensil Setconsists of tools for traditional Chinese tea brewing. The set includes all the tools that are housed by a wooden container. This Egg Lotus Tea Utensil Set is a must for a Gongfu tea ceremony. The set includes: 1. a spoon/scoop to place the tea leaves in the brewing pot. This is essential, as the oils from your fingers could otherwise influence the taste of the tea. 2. a funnel to facilitate pouring tea from the brewing pot into the sharing pot/teapot without spilling. 3. Tweezers/tongs to lift the drinking cups and savor the tea's fragrance when they are too hot to handle. 4. a scraper to remove used tea from the brewing pot after use. 5. a poker to remove leaves that might have gotten caught in the spout of the brewing or teapot. 6. a needle to clean out the brewing pot. The Chinese call these tools the "Six Gentlemen." We recommend that you invite them to your next tea ceremony!
