Looking for a high-quality Chinese tea set? You’re on the right track, because since the times of the Celestial Empire, tea tasting has been a serious matter. It’s a true ritual called Gong Fu Cha, requiring knowledge, attitude, and the right equipment. Let’s see what you might need to enjoy this concentration of wellness and tradition.
Components for the Tea Service
A complete tea service includes many elements: teapots, cups in variable numbers, tongs to pick up tea leaves, tools for handling hot cups, measuring spoons, and trays. Choosing your tea set carefully is an integral part of the tasting process, as it helps build the harmony culminating in the sip.
Teapots
Chinese teapots are true works of art, diverse in shape, colours, and materials. Here are some quality products you can find in our shop:
-
Classic Teapots
These feature an ancient design and are traditionally made of porcelain. Only the handle is plastic to prevent burns. The spout has a filtering system to keep leaf impurities out of the cup. -
Teapots with Infuser
Choosing a teapot with an infuser facilitates tea preparation. Whole leaves don’t need to be fished out with a spoon. The infuser also allows precise control over steeping time for a perfect brew.
Handmade Porcelain Cups
Traditional cups differ mainly in size (never exceeding 100 ml capacity), reflecting their use in the convivial Gong Fu Cha context with multiple infusions and repeated refills. The design is given special attention: Chinese tea cups are small, delicate jewels that actively contribute to the aesthetic experience of the tea ritual.
Our shop offers strictly handcrafted tea cups from Dehua, renowned for producing top-quality ceramics.
