Pretty! Where’d you buy your tray, if you don’t mind my asking?

Psyck said

I purchased the tray from Dragon Tea House:
http://www.dragonteahouse.biz/solar-circle-bamboo-gongfu-tea-serving-tray-50-29cm/
It is also available at Crimson Lotus Tea (cheaper rate but much higher international shipping):
http://crimsonlotustea.com/collections/tea-wares/products/deluxe-gongfu-tea-table
It is a very common model, you can also find it with various eBay & Aliexpress vendors.

The brush is also from Dragon Tea House:

The strainer is from ES green:

The towel and mug are from Aliexpress:

Congrats it’s beautiful. Don’t worry about pot sucking flavor. Good quality pots like this are not. Just brew sheng daily in it. Don’t leave leaf overnight. Empty it out. You live in warm and humid place. Enjoy your journey

Psyck said

Thanks, I really need to remember to take out leaves every time, as I’m in the habit of leaving leaves in the gaiwan overnight. Yeah the temperature here is in the 20’s (Centigrade) and the RH in the 70’s practically all year around.

The set was missing one vital item, a tea pet! I just ordered this:

Both the pot and tray are pleasing to use and easy to maintain, I recommend them without reservation.
