As for the set itself, it's very nice. I burned myself the first time but that was due simply to my own inexperience and silliness. Brewed up some 大紅袍 oolong and it is dee-lish!
Did you get a fair cup (aka pitcher) Chris? Makes using a gaiwan a lot easier if the cups are small.

The pitcher's quite small, I'd be tempted to call it cute, but still takes about two full gaiwan servings, so it's perfectly adequate.

Awesome sounds like you're all set!
Enjoy. Experiment.
