An Interesting offer

The Shin and Inn tea pots are $9.00 each, but the Chen Set is $66.00 by itself. This makes the offer particularly interesting. It's essentially getting the set for over half off and some tea as well. The Chen set is basically a small gong fu set, it consists of a small pitcher, bot, two cups, and a base. Everything is made of matching clay.

The pot itself seems ok, the strainer is unfortunately flush with the wall of the pot, i.e. not a golf ball style filter. It has rather large holes, about 7 in total. If you are brewing some large leaf oolongs or something, this is perfect. The lid appears to have a very nice fit.

The base is has a very nice feel to it, the drainage to the bottom bowl consists of 13 holes in the center of the dish. It's just large enough to fit the rest of the set on easily.

The cups are about the right size for normal gong fu tasting cups, and have a very nice feel to them. The cups are light, yet solid, and the lip has a very nice feel to it. The clay is smooth and attractive.

All in all I think this is a rather interesting deal if you are looking for a small gong fu set. This deal is particularly well paired with a small addition in order to get free shipping. I'm not sure if this is available in stores or not.
