O2H TEA
8-Piece Outdoor Tea Brewing Kit
The 8-Piece Outdoor Tea Brewing Kit is a complete stainless steel tea set in a travel bag — everything needed to brew properly away from a kitchen, packed to carry.
What's in the kit
- 1 × Crane Song tea pot — 350 ml, stainless steel with a crane-shaped spout for a precise pour.
- 1 × sharing cup (fair cup) — pour the steep into this first so every cup tastes the same.
- 1 × tea storage tin — keeps leaf dry and away from light on the road.
- 4 × gongfu tea cups — small cups for short steeps, enough for a group.
- 1 × travel bag — holds the set together in transit.
Specifications
- Pieces: 8 (pot, sharing cup, storage tin, 4 cups, travel bag)
- Pot capacity: 350 ml
- Material: stainless steel throughout
Why it works outdoors
Good tea outdoors usually fails on logistics, not on leaf: nowhere to store the leaf, no way to serve evenly, nothing that survives a bag. Stainless steel solves the durability problem — it will not chip like ceramic or crack like glass — and the sharing cup solves the fairness problem, which matters more with four cups than with one. The storage tin means the leaf arrives dry.
What tea to take
Rolled oolong and Xiao Qing Gan travel best — both are physically robust, both handle freshly boiled water without turning bitter, and both give 7–10 short steeps from one small measure, so a single flask of hot water goes a long way. Green tea is the hardest outdoors: it wants 75–80°C, not boiling.
Care
Rinse with hot water and dry fully before packing away, so nothing is stored damp.
