fanquare Chinese Black Ceramic Kung Fu Tea Set

Absolutely! This is one of the most popular starter sets because it includes everything you need in one package - teapot, cups, tea tray, strainer, tongs, and even decorative tea pets. Multiple beginners mention it's a 'complete set' that introduces you to Kung Fu tea preparation without having to hunt down individual pieces. The porcelain quality is surprisingly good for the price point, though keep in mind the bamboo tray is more decorative than heavy-duty.

The teapot itself is solid, high-quality porcelain that several reviewers specifically praised. The dragon handles are a beautiful traditional touch that add authentic character to the set. However, fair warning - the packaging can be hit-or-miss. While some received perfectly protected items in individual styrofoam compartments, others reported broken pieces on arrival. Inspect everything carefully when it arrives.

They're fully functional, but they're traditionally small - this is authentic to Kung Fu tea style where you sip small amounts of concentrated tea. One reviewer mentioned they're 'too small' for their preference, so if you're used to large Western mugs, these will feel tiny. But for traditional tea ceremonies where you're doing multiple short steeps, the size is exactly right.

This is where the set shows its budget-friendly nature. Three reviewers specifically mentioned the tray feels 'flimsy' or low quality, and one noted the drainage system doesn't close properly. It'll work for light home use and looks nice for display, but if you're planning serious daily tea sessions, you might want to upgrade the tray eventually while keeping the excellent porcelain tea vessels.

Unfortunately, at least one reviewer reported the temperature-indicating tea pets didn't change color as advertised. They're more decorative than functional. Think of them as charming additions to your tea tray that add personality to your setup, rather than actual temperature indicators you can rely on.

Here's where expectations versus reality come in - a couple reviewers mentioned the photos can be misleading, with some parts being plastic rather than the bamboo or wood they expected. The focus of this set is really the quality porcelain tea vessels (which are excellent), while the tray and accessories are more basic. It's still a great value overall, just know the premium materials are in the teapot and cups, not the tray.
