Thanks for all your help. I’m putting it to a vote.

Are you looking for the Perfect Chinese Tea Set?  If so, you’ve come to the right place.  I have here an abundant resource of Chinese teapots, tea cups, mugs, and tea sets.

Chinese tea sets are become very popular among families of all ages.

Materials for the tea sets come in all different types of materials, like porcelain, ceramic, clay, and even gold.

More of the popular colors range from blue, green, or black, but your tea ware should fit your taste and needs.

Drinking tea is a long Chinese tradition which dates back to the Han dynasty.  Many believe drinking tea actually originated in China itself.

Tea is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis tree. According to tea legend, the Chinese empire, Shen Nung, had a pot of boiling water out and a tea leaf fell into the pot of water and made tea. Chinese tea sets came later and the rest is history.

Now tea has become the number one consumed beverage drink around the world.

There are some mentions that Chinese Tea sets should only have one type of tea brewed in the set.  So for instance you would have one teapot that you would only brew and steep one type of tea, like white tea or green tea.

If you wanted to have another type of tea, you would have an entirely different Chinese Tea set for that particular type of tea.

I can see this for the Chinese tea sets that are made of Clay.  The reason for this is because the tea will actually get absorbed into the clay material, so if you were to brew one specify type of tea in the set, it will then be absorbed into the clay and thus the flavor will be continued with each consecutive brewing.

What many people do not know that all types of tea come from the same plant set.  They are not only related, but they are the same plant.  Chinese tea, Japanese tea, English Tea, Green tea, black tea, Oolong teas, and white teas all come from the Camellia sinensis tree.  The difference among the types of tea is the oxidization period.

Tea sets vary greatly between the quality and the price of the actual teasets.  A Chinese tea set will include such things like the tea pot, mugs or teacups, and possibly a tray or saucer to place the warm brewed tea or other accessories.

A very popular teaset from China is the Yixing clay teapots.  These tea sets are made of Yixing clay, thus the name given.

Yixing teapots are said to be made specifically for black or Oolong types of tea.  The clay actually keeps the water at a hot temperature for a longer time, keeping the degrees of the temp hotter than metallic Chinese tea sets.

Some sets are even used for ceremony purposes, such as weddings, and can cost anywhere from a few dollar to as much as thousands of dollars or a price unimaginable to the normal tea drinker.

A tea ceremony is very important to the participants, and having the right tea set is even more important.

Since China, many other countries have taken tea drinking as a normal everyday even; The Japanese, English, and even most Americans.

Some of the more popular Chinese Tea Sets Are:

1. Chinese Blue and White Rice Pattern Tea Set for 4 – porcelain
2. All Natural Handmade “Blue Pottery” Infuser Tea/Coffee Mug , Dragon
3. Blue and white chinese porcelain longevity teapot collection – set of 6 teapots
4. Oriental blue and white rice pattern miniature tea set – porcelain
5. Phoenix and Dragon Chinese Yixing Clay Tea Set 3 Piece Teapot 18 ounces With Infuser

Whichever type of Chinese tea set you choose to purchase, don’t forget to take the time and pour yourself a nice cup of tea and relax.

Are you looking to purchase Chinese Yixing Teapots? Yixing clay is among some of the most popular materials for Chinese tea Sets.

Tea set from China are a favorite to many families. It may be because of the origins of Tea itself coming from the days of the Emperor and originating in China.

Some of the most sought after Yixing clay teapot is the Zisha Yixing tea set. The Zisha Tixing translates to Purple Clay or Purple sand.

The clay can only be found near a city in China named Yixing, hence the name Yixing. This is sort of near the China mainland

The Yixing Chinese Tea Pot can be found many places, but in this day and age it’s easy to find a manufacturer online.

Green tea is probably the most popular of all Chinese tea. Though there are other teas out there, like Oolong, Black tea, white tea.

Typically I enjoy a nice glass of white tea. It’s a very light tea.

It’s said that what ever type of tea you put into your clay teap pots, like a Yixing clay tea set, for example. The tea set will actually hold the flavor of the tea itself.

So if you continue to tea brew or steep a certain type of tea in your Chinese clay teapot, that teapot will hold it’s flavor and after a while, you may even just place hot water in the tea set and the set will brew the flavor tea just from all the flavor that was absorbed in the clay.

There is actually an art to steeping tea that many do not know. It doesn’t matter what you steep it in, if it’s a clay or a porcelain teaset. But with the many different tea, like green, black, oolong there is different times you should boil the water to and different temperatures.

For instance, you might boil the water in something beside the Chinese sets that you have, but when you are steeping, the temperature for green tea should be around 180 degree. This is just under boiling.

If you’re looking for Chinese porcelain type tea pots, than I suggest that you do not look into Yixing teapots or tea sets. Yixing is a clay and not porcelain, but porcelain is very common materials for a Chinese Tea Set.

You might even purchase a Yixing teaset for a ceremony like a wedding. This is what many do.

Here are the most popular Chinese Yixing Teapots:

1. Yixing Clay Dragon Teapot 16 Ounce
2. Brown Bamboo Basket Chinese Yixing Clay Tea Set 3 Pieces Teapot 16 ounces
3. Teavana Wild Mushroom Yixing Teapot
4. Yixing Clay Zisha Cylinder Teapot With Infuser 36 Ounce
5. Unique Chinese Yixing Heart Glass Teapot Warmer
6. Yixing Clay Swirl Teapot, 20 Ounce
7. Phoenix and Dragon Chinese Yixing Clay Tea Set 3 Piece Teapot 18 ounces With Infuser
8. Marbleized Brown Lizard Chinese Yixing Clay Teapot 10 ounces
9. Yixing Teapot with Blossom
10. Brown Curious Monkey Chinese Yixing Clay Teapot 10 ounces

Q1: Good evening, Zhang Shuo. Can you tell us more about Chinese tea culture? A1: Yes, tea is the national beverage of China. Chinese are believed to have enjoyed tea drinking for more than four thousand years, the longest in the world. In Traditional Chinese culture, tea drinkers were always considered to be elite and are highly respected by society. Drinking tea also demonstrate personal morality, education, principle and social status. This is why serving tea gradually became an essential part of Chinese social life. In modern China, even the simplest dwelling has a tea set and a water heater for making a hot cup of tea. These implements are symbols of welcome to visitors and neighbors. Traditionally, a visitor to a Chinese home is expected to sit down and drink hot tea while talking.

I edited some of the shots from my most recent film, Tea, to specifically look at the set design I created. The story was designed around the Chinese legend of the Jade Rabbit and Chang’e the Moon goddess. I created the set specifically for scenes within the moon, shot in part of an extension to my house. The images progected are from some of my home videos filmed by my grandfather on super 8. I think that they give a personal and unique feel to the piece and came out beautifully.

A Chinese export lacquer tea chest in the abstracted elegant form of a lantern. See: hygra.com The main scenes are framed by elaborate floral designs, which are very well spaced, allowing for the different central compositions to be distinguished. The scenes are of figures in gardens. Circa 1835. The early 19th century was the golden period for the Chinese lacquer box. The merchants associated with the East India Company were making vast amounts of money selling opium to the Chinese, albeit at times by circuitous ways. More money was available for buying Chinese treasures to satisfy the demand for the increasingly prosperous people at home. In addition to individually commissioned boxes, a number of additional boxes were bought with a view to selling them in England . They were also sold to other European countries from the London bonded warehouses of the Company. The Cathay style had already captured the imagination of the European beau monde. A whimsical oriental style had already been set in motion by such arbiters of fashion as the Prince Regent himself. This led to significant stylistic and thematic developments in the decoration of lacquer boxes during the first decades of the 19th century.

I have seen two people prepare tea for me and I am trying to figure out some kind of base-line method. This is what I saw but I am not sure I could do this at home for guests. Can anyone give me some comments on this?

Tea-maker:
1) Keeps a metal pot on a burner just for hot water.
2) Puts new tea leaves in a strainer that sits inside a 2nd tea pot.
3) Pours hot water into 2nd pot with new tea.
4) Immediately pours out water. ( I think this is rinsing the new leaves)
5) Pours new hot water into 2nd pot with rinsed tea.
6) Sets timer for 40 seconds then waits.
7) Pours tea drink from 2nd pot to 3rd (serving) tea pot.
Repeats steps 5) through 7) until 3rd pot is full.
9) Pours tea drink from serving pot into small narrow vessel.
10) Guest pours vessel into tea cup.
I think I counted 3 tea pots.

I saw another tea maker do something similar but did not use a timer. Both of these tea makers did this for me in when I visited Taiwan. Do people really go to this level of detail to make tea in the US?
