A complete set of configuration for ceramic tea sets

The entire configuration of ceramic tea sets can be selected according to actual needs and preferences. The following is a relatively complete set of ceramic tea set configurations:

Main appliance

Water boiler: It is used for boiling water and is a basic tool for making tea.

Covered bowl or teapot

Covered bowl: It has a wide range of applications and can be used to brew almost all six major types of tea. It can control the flow of water and allow one to observe the color of the tea soup from a distance. It is a commonly used tea-making vessel by advanced tea connoisseurs. It is recommended to choose a covered bowl with an outward rim as much as possible, a twisted lid that is hollow in the middle, and a capacity of about 120-150ml is appropriate.

Teapot: It is not easy to get hot to the touch and is more conducive to the unfurling of tea leaves, making it suitable for novice tea drinkers. Common ones include purple clay teapots and ceramic teapots, etc. You can choose according to your personal preference and the type of tea. The capacity is also recommended to be around 120 to 150ml.

The fair cup, also known as the tea sea, is a common tea serving vessel used to evenly distribute the tea soup and prevent uneven strength. The capacity should be larger than that of the main bubble, and the shape can be chosen according to personal preference.

Tea tasting cup: An essential utensil for tea drinking, used for tasting tea and appreciating the tea soup. Different cup shapes can be matched with different types of tea. For instance, a slender and tall cup shape helps to gather the aroma and is more suitable for drinking high-aroma teas like oolong. Open cups release fragrance and dissipate heat quickly, making them more suitable for drinking new tea and green tea that have been brewed for a short time. Generally, 2 to 4 small porcelain cups are chosen, with a capacity of around 30 to 50ml.

Auxiliary devices

Washing: It is used for cleaning tea sets or storing wastewater.

It is made of various materials such as ceramic pot stands, bamboo, and wood.
