An October Outing: Bring This Tea Set and Enjoy a Fine Brew at the Summit

The first week of October brings the National Day holiday, right on schedule.

With crisp autumn air and clear skies, it's the perfect time to head outdoors. Gather a few close friends, leave the city's hustle and bustle behind, and find a mountain—not too high, not too low—to hike up. Wander along the trails, take in the scenery, catch up on each other's lives. Just thinking about it feels wonderfully relaxing.

Hiking is all about taking it slow. No need to rush, no need to race against time. Walk a while, stop a while. Snap a few photos when you spot a nice view, lean against a roadside rock when you're tired. Friends chat casually, drifting from work to life, from the past to the future, and before you know it, the summit is right there in front of you.
Reaching the top is the most delightful moment of the day.

Find a flat spot, sit down in a circle, boil some water, brew some tea, and take a rest. The mountain breeze brushes your face, the tea fragrance curls in the air, and the fatigue from the climb seems to melt away with every sip.

That said, there's quite a lot to prepare for an outing. A change of clothes, a towel for wiping sweat, insect repellent, a power bank, snacks, a water bottle… everything needs to be thought through in advance. Miss one thing, and it could put a damper on the whole trip.

But there's one thing I never leave behind on any outdoor excursion: this Quick Tea Set.


It's compact and lightweight—folded up, it's just a small carry pouch that takes up almost no space in your backpack. Yet it's fully functional: teapot, teacups, strainer, all included. At the summit, find a flat spot, set it out, boil water, brew, pour—everything flows in one go.

A few friends sit in a circle, each holding a small cup, sipping slowly. The tea slides down, sweet and lingering. A gust of mountain wind blows through, and your whole body feels refreshed. In that moment, the exhaustion from the climb, the worries of daily life—they all seem to drift away with the tea's aroma.

Some say drinking tea outdoors is a luxury. Really, it's not the tea that's luxurious—it's that leisurely state of mind. And a good tea set makes that leisure come a little more easily.


This October holiday, if you're thinking of gathering some friends for an outing, consider bringing this Quick Tea Set along. A fine pot of tea at the summit will stretch the beauty of the day just a little bit longer.

Truly a beautiful day.
