Hand-painted bamboo travel tea set
One pot, two cups — Dehua white porcelain
The Hand-Painted Bamboo Travel Tea Set is a Chinese tea set made from Dehua white porcelain, designed to be compact enough for travel. It includes a brewing cup with a built-in ceramic strainer and lid, two matching tea cups, a brocade carry bag, and a tea cloth. The cups nest inside the brewing cup, so the whole set packs down to about the size of a small water bottle.
Each piece is decorated with bamboo leaves using underglaze hand-painting, a technique where the design is applied before the glaze is fired. This means the pattern sits beneath the surface and won't fade or wear off with use. Because each set is painted by hand, the brushwork varies slightly from piece to piece.
Dehua, in Fujian province, has been producing white porcelain for over a thousand years. The clay fires to a clean, bright white that works well for lighter teas where you want to see the colour of the brew clearly. At around 300g for the full set, it's light enough to toss in a daypack or suitcase without thinking too much about it.
In Chinese culture, bamboo is one of the Four Gentlemen (四君子) alongside plum blossom, orchid, and chrysanthemum. It's associated with resilience and integrity. As a motif on teaware, it's understated and suits everyday use without feeling overly decorative.
What's in the set
- 1 × Brewing cup with lid and built-in ceramic strainer

Care and storage
Hand wash with warm water after each use. Avoid soap or detergent if you can, as porcelain can absorb residual fragrance over time. The set is dishwasher safe on the top rack, but not suitable for the microwave. Store everything back in the brocade bag between uses to prevent chips during transport.
Shipping
We ship from Hobart, Tasmania. Each set is wrapped and packed carefully to arrive safely. Standard and express shipping available Australia-wide.

Aged White Tea 2012 (Lao Bai Cha)
A good quality chen pi at a great price. Much better than the chen pi found in supermarkets.
I’m really enjoying this tea. Very smooth, an incredible tea to taste. Highly recommend. Will definitely repurchase and continue to try other teas you recommend. Thankyou
This is seriously a lovely tea. Smooth flavour and no bitterness at all. I usually like milk with my tea but no problems without milk at all. Will definitely purchase again. Thanks
This is a really handy little flask. Just the right size and the temp gauge is a great addition so you know how hot the contents are . Not too big or small just right😄
I love smokiness in most things so when I saw this Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked I grabbed a sample to try and I was blown away.
From the moment you open the packet the aroma of the smokiness hits front and centre.
With smallish leaves I eagerly brewed up. I was presented with a beautiful full amber liquid and the smoke hitting my nose was welcoming.
The only way I can describe this tea is it brings back memories of camping down by the creek on our farm burning pine cones. It’s like a warm hug being able to taste the smell. It reminds me of the smokiness in your clothes once you walk away from that fire.
Full bodied and lovely mouth feel.
I want to write this because I am genuinely impressed with the service I received.
I had an issue with one of the teas I purchased and I emailed A Moment of Tea about it. That morning I received a email back from Zachary profusely apologising about the mishap. In the email Zachary thanked me for the email because they actually found an issue in the OS supplier and worked towards a solution with them that day.
Zachary took the time to explain to me the process as to how this tea was produced and why the issue occurred and what’s happening to fix the issue.
To say the least I was blown away and again would like to thank Zachary for the communication through email. I highly highly recommend anyone with a Chinese Tea love to purchase from here as the teas I have tried so far are top notch. Tea reviews coming.
Jasmine Dragon Pearls / Buddhas Tears - Very subtle Jasmine comes through.
Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked - It’s like getting a hug from the camp fire on your camping trip. Immediately bought back memories of camping and having that smokey smell through your clothes (my favourite atm)
Shou Mei White Tea - very refreshing and bright white tea
So delicious, and a nice touch
I am very impressed with both the service and products. This is my first time I have ordered anything, and will definitely be returning. Many thanks, and congratulations.
I'm very happy with the samples sizes in the Sampler pack, as it enables me to share cups with friends and family to find out what their particular preferences are. Many thanks.
Purchased these at a market on holidays in Tassie several years ago, having been ordering ever since! My whole family love the dragon pearls, beautiful green tea and pretty to watch open up.
Mandarin Pu-erh Post-fermented Tea
Very satisfying flask.
