"I hadn't used a gaiwan until I bought this set. Although it might be a bit difficult to master (it took me a few weeks of frequent use to become comfortable enough to decant next to my laptop), the effect is nice. Portion-wise, a larger gaiwan might be more suitable, especially when brewing for more than one."

"I picked this up with my utilliTEA kettle so I'd have something to brew and decant with instead of using mesh balls. It is mediocre at best. The pouring cup spills everywhere and the hole is just large enough to let a lot of finer tea leaves through. I rated it 'good' because it does work, but for $9 I feel you really can do better. I picked up a gaiwan at Teavana for $7 (half off, admittedly) that works exponentially better than this. Though I do still use the cup to decant into :P"

"It's the most petite little set and I love it! FYI, the container with the cover is not for cream or sugar, unlike what Karia S. wrote. That one is used for brewing your tea and you keep the top on to strain the tea through the small hole formed between the cover and the container. After straining the tea out, sometimes people place the tea leaves on the container's cover and lay the cover upside down on top of the container. It's for tea drinkers to inspect the quality of the leaves, not only through tasting it. "

"I love the idea of this but no matter what I do when I poor the tea out it drips and makes a mess and a few leaves always make it into the cup. If those thing didn't happen I would love it."

"I love this little tea tasting set. It is ideal for brewing small quantities of tea. If you like your tea hot and fresh as I do, then this little set is the way to go. When my set arrived, the cup you sip the tea from was chipped. Whether the damage happened in transit to me or before that, I have no idea. I do know that Adagio Customer Service promptly replaced the damaged item and surprised me with two free samples of tea! Way to go, Adagio."

"This is a cute set and I really like it. I had some trouble pouring for the first couple of tries, but you really have to tip the set to avoid it going everywhere on your counter. I use this to brew samples of premium teas, and for resteeping small quantities of tea. "
