There is a lot of great, functional teaware out there for your everyday use. One of the things that  draws me to tea is to how simple its preparation can actually be. Anyone who has seen a picture of a teadrinker in china drinking tea out of the same glass they are brewing in, has seen how simple it can be. Tea. Water. Drink. Water. Drink.

I use functional teaware like the items here everyday for infusing tea. So while I don't plan on carrying a lot, I do want to carry the basics.
