This tea travel bag has been designed to maximise the power of tea in more parts of your life and with more people. Drink tea in unique and inspiring locations, connect with people through tea at parties, family gatherings or with an old friend, boost your performance through the calming and mindful aspects of Gong Fu Cha throughout your day.
The Gong Fu Story is the result of frustration - it was not convenient to travel with your tea or even bring a Gong Fu tea session to your friend's place. Gong Fu tea is such a positive and social experience and yet, for the most part, we were restrained to brewing at our home or office. Think of all the incredible places that we could drink tea, think about how many more people could experience that social magic that happens when you share tea together - if we could easily take our tea sessions wherever we roam. We wanted to expand our Tea story and set our sessions free.
Sure, there are some tea travel kits on the market but they force you to use their limited teaware on tiny little trays - that's ok for a quick solo tea but they did not allow us to express the true beauty of Gong Fu Cha.
So, we thought, why don't we design a solution that allows you to bring any and all of your teaware and a big enough water tray for PROPER tea sessions? So instead of working on a teaware kit, we began working on a bag.
Inspiration came from camera bags. We are constantly travelling with camera gear for our CZcams filming and we found that the padding was excellent for protecting teaware. But, there were improvements that were necessary - the bag needed to be the right size for teaware, the material should be more water resistant, there needed to be a place for tea which would be protected from moisture plus many more adaptations.
After over 7 months of working with bag designers, we have created the Gong Fu Story. We have tested this bag to the max - bringing it to the great outdoors, London parties and overseas. We cannot imagine life before the Gong Fu Story - it has liberated our tea sessions and we have shared tea with so many more people in so many different places. This is not simply a bag. It is a passport for you to bring the power of tea to more places and share it with more people.
Create new stories and set your tea sessions free.

THE TRUE TEA BAG!!!
You win. 😂😂
I got promoted today to training and quality manager at my place of work. I taught basic Gong Fu brewing in my interview and recruitment said it was the thing that made me stand out. #teahead
I have converted a chunk of my office to Tea. Gong Fu of course
I'd love to see
you all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me!
You said hiking and I remembered that I hike regularly. GONG FU BREWING ONTOP OF A MOUNTAIN!!!!!! My wallet is on fire rn. Rip. Thank you don!
I know exactly what you mean... 😂
Don! If you’re ever in the US again, I’m throwing a party! You would be the best party guest ever! Impromptu tea session!
The only tea bag allowed.
Does it come with pouches to hold my lipton tea bags?
yeah does it #liptonlove
It occurs to me that with a set of fine scales and bags of green leaves you might start to look a bit dodgy were you to try and get that through airport security
Don, I can feel the mission behind this product, and it's beautiful. The genuine intention is apparent, and I loved hearing you express your passion for this project.
Very nice. Looks like a must have.
I have to say, you are ahead of Chinese people on this! we do not have such a special bag for tea while traveling....what a nice bag~
What a nice compliment!
I'm currently using a camera bag for this. I need it mostly when I go to work, so I also need a place to store my laptop in. The one I'm currently using is a bit too small though. We are switching to dynamic seating, where you can sit and work anywhere in the building. But in return that means you don't have "your" workplace anymore, means I have to also bring my mouse/keyboard and a few cables and personal items with me. While my camera bag is perfect for my tea set plus notebook, I now need a bigger replacement.. kinda glad you made this video :)
You are good at really presenting your product and keep enough energy to avoid being boring. Keep that enthusiasm. I've got to get this. I have thought before. I could not share my teas with people easily. Problem solved.
Gonna be nitpicky here... haven't finished watching the video yet, and this seems like a great product - but why only one color? This type of fairly bright blue doesn't really go with my wardrobe. Maybe I'm just vain but I can't be the only one. It's actually one of the main reasons I wouldn't get this for myself.
As a student, if I'm paying around 100 euros for a product, it kind of has to be something I can see myself being satisfied with for years to come, and I feel that if the color isn't 'right' it would always irk me a bit.
What about adding options for black, beige and red, for example? (God I'd love a beige version.) I feel that would cover quite a range of styles, and probably increase sales for you guys.
I know... I'm picky, I'm vain. I just believe in the importance of aesthetics of daily products for mental well-being.
Hi. It would be really expensive for clients to have colour options because we are already ordering the minimum quantity for manufacture. If the product proves popular enough that we can produce larger quantities then we can consider more colours and we will remember your request for beige!
Vladimir Yuvachov TEA colored👍
I would love a black or a dark forest green as well! I hope this product flies off the shelves
Agreed. I am not a fan of the blue.
Don consistently tries to bring new products to the tea market, being the best ambassador the tea world has ever seen and ppl are complaining the color isn’t just right...smh
You read my mind, Mei Leaf crew. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for 😭
I just purchased one of these and I can't wait to start putting it to good use! Such a great idea for a product and something I haven't seen anywhere else.
This is so amazing! You guys should be very proud of it. :) You saw that there wasn't anything quite ideal like this and you made it. Great job. :)
Woah, you can fit everything but the kitchen sink in there
lol
I absolutely love this idea. I'm a college student, so I travel home for breaks quite often, and I always need to use half my suitcase for tea things. We'll see when I can get the money for it, haha
And available in time for Christmas, no less!
Awesome travel tea bag👍
I thought I saw this last week and wanted to pick it up on blaze Friday, got to involved with family and forgot to go back to your website
Hi! It's great that you came up with this and it really shows your understanding of and dedication to your clients who probably have all become passionate tea drinkers--thanks to your influence. In my experience in traveling and drinking tea gongfu style is that I need the least bag to carry with me. I've been to camping and on the plane, mountains, visited friends, etc.. and mostly I carry one camera backpack which contains my telefoto camera, laptop, chargers, gadgets, sketchpad, watercolors and my tiny traveling tea set and a 350ml thermos, too. All I am missing is the water catcher tray, which I often become too resourceful in time of need. The space for the tray would be for the laptop. I also have a thin birch wooden tray that I can slip in sometimes. In addition I want my backpack to be of neutral color, too, so I can easily match it to any outfit--so fashion also plays a role in travel, you see. Also when on the plane, I don't think I would want to be opening the backpack in such confined space and disturbing everyone with the velcro. So what I do is take out my tiny tea set pouch, that I can carry with one hand and keep the backpack in the overhead compartment and then just use the food tray as the catcher. A 100 ml gaiwan is enough for quick solo sessions. I drink green tea when traveling so need to rinse and very hot water. But that's just me being very specific with my travel and tea drinking habits, which may sound OCD to some. I will probably keep it this way for now and see if I can customize my own traveling tea set based from your example. Thanks again for your forward thinking and coming up with products like this.
I'm a big fan of yours! Great job to you and the Mei Leaf Team for always bringing us the best of the Tea World! Mabuhay to all of you guys from the Philippines!! 😎😁🤗
You lunatic. I love you.
This is amazing! Have you had any issues with TSA checking out your teaware?
Brew in front of the TSA.
This is something I would love to do. The question I keep having is about the water. Do you heat it up to boiling and that thermos will hold that temperature for hours? That's amazing. The only thing about that for me is we try to use only glass or clay when there is liquid at high temperature for health. I don't like compromising on that when I'm serving people especially. . . maybe I need to loosen up but it's part of my brewing. That is the reason I haven't bought a Stagg EKG. My solutions to this have involved just taking my Trendglas Jena kettle and finding a stove, or buying a Biolite Campstove 2 or Enki Wild and finding some sticks somewhere and burning them to boil water. There is something nice about using fire and earthen materials to boil water... psychologically it sets a really good tone for tea. What suggestions do you have to get water up to temp for mobile brews? I would love to just go around sharing gong fu with people.
it would be cool to see a way to boil water in the set up, or at least a kettle and then you make a fire if you're on a hike or something
I used a jet boil for awhile and then switched to a cheaper and smaller little nossle thing that goes directly on the fuel canister with a oversized porcelain camping cup and the metal steeper out of a small pot set, works like a charm
YEP!
So the tea tray isn’t like the gongfu guru since it’s bamboo, and not stainless steel. By chance when you make the version 2 will you change that or is that too heavy
What about on an airplane?
can i get one in Yunnan Black?😆
Joseph Troyer Imperial Green...
After you get it you can get it dyed any color that you want
nice
wow
If I actually get a good tax return, then I’ll definitely buy this.
Steve Jobs of tea
Tea bug-out bag anyone?
Don have you ever thought to add a Cauldryn Coffee Smart Mug to the Gong Fu Story?
