Any tea enthusiast out there? Could you please recommend me a tea set that he may like and find very useful?

He says he likes herbal teas the best.
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

I have seen it written that you serve Champagne with dessert or after dinner. Others say Champagne is served right after the ceremony. Some say you toast the couple before the dinner, some say before dessert, others insist it be after the cake cutting. If there are rules for when to toast and other for when you serve Champagne how do you know when to do both?!

My wedding and ceremony are in the same location and there are only 25 guests attending. The wedding is at 1:00 pm. My caters are serving an iced tea to our guests at 1:30 (also available will be green tea chocolates for everyone) while we have pictures taken. At around 2:00 my caterers are performing a Chinese Tea Ceremony for us and our parents (it lasts about 30 minutes). A five course dinner will be served around 3:00 pm including a Chinese vegetable soup, garden salad, assorted dim sum (as an appetizer), a Chinese entree, and red bean buns with mochi and bubble tea for dessert. Now, my mother ALSO wants cake because she is crazy, so there will be cake cutting as a second dessert (why?!) after dinner. Tea will be served to everyone and an assortment of beer and wine will also be available.

My question is, when do I serve the Champagne for toasts? I plan on having a Wild Hibiscus flower placed in the bottom of each glass before pouring the Champagne, but when should this be served? Also, should I designate a family member to prep and pour the Champagne since it is not really part of the food prep by the caterers (a husband and wife duo)? I know I may be able to ask them to do it for a fee but when do I have them serve it? It would probably go best with the second dessert later in the evening, but wont everyone be full, and don’t toasts com first?

I’m so confused! Please give me some ideas! This schedule is not concrete (except for the ceremony time) so if anyone has a better set up let me know!

Recipe Ingredients 1 cup of Tapioca Pearls 6-8 cups of water 3 tablespoons Taro flavor powder 5-6 Ice cubes 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons milk Step 1:Tapioca Pearls Boil 6-8 water in a pot for a 1 cup of tapioca pearls Add 1 cup of tapioca pearls in the boiling water Stir until the tapioca pearls becomes plump After the tapioca pearls becomes plump, cover the pot for 5 mins Then drain out the water Let it cool and set it aside Step 2:Taro Flavor Mix Add the 5-6 ice cubes in the blender Add 2 tbsp of sugar Add 2 tbsp of milk Add 3 tbsp of Taro Flavor Powder Set the Blender to “Ice Crush” then if the ice is crushed, set the blender to “Blend” Thanks for watching!

On the night of November 15, 2009 the President of the United States, Barack Obama, addressed a town hall meeting in Shanghai China. The President said in part: However, America’s ties to this city — and to this country — stretch back further, to the earliest days of America’s independence. In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty. Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China. This is a common American impulse — the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial. Although the President was correct on the year the President responsible for the mission was not George Washington, he was a private citizen. This video addresses this latest error in the executive branchs understanding of the US Presidencys start and evolution into the office the Honorable Barack Obama now holds. President Obama is not alone as in my lifetime 11 US Presidents have made similar errors. It has been my personal mission, since the 1990s, to challenge confederation historical inaccuracies in a professional and constructive manner. Barrack Obama is a great man, my President, and I have the utmost respect for his high office. On the other hand, the mistake was made on a national stage and in this particular case a thoughtful response was warranted. Below is …

www.chinadaily.com.cn The classic Chinese tune of Molihua, (Jasmine Flower), played on ancient metal bells and modern jade chimes, has been chosen as the theme score for the Olympic medal ceremonies, composer Tan Dun, who adapted the piece for the Games, said Tuesday. “Molihua is such an iconic piece it is almost a cultural symbol of China, so everybody thought it was a great choice,” the 50-year-old Oscar and Grammy award winner, said at a press conference in Beijing to announce the chosen music. A four-part composition, co-written by Tan and Wang Hesheng, a composer with the Army orchestra, will be played before, during and after each of the 302 medal ceremonies. The main melody, which Tan described as “glorious, heartwarming and full of respect”, was recorded using the digital recording of a 2450-year-old bell set excavated from a site in Hubei. Zhao Dongming, head of BOCOG’s culture and ceremonies department, said: “This piece of music reminds you of the gold medals for the Beijing Olympics, which are made of gold and jade.” Tan, whose opera Tea recently made its Chinese debut in Beijing, said he is looking forward to his music being a key for the world to understand Chinese philosophy. “The resonance of the 2400-year-old metal bells and modern jade chimes reflects the aspiration of balance and harmony of our Chinese ancestors,” Tan, who also wrote the original score for Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, said. “I hope people remember that China is still the …

This talk show features two homosexual men from mainland China who married unofficially and adopted a son. Go to Part 2: www.youtube.com Synopsis: This programme, broadcast in 2005 is from the Phoenix TV series “Lu Yu You Yue” (A Date With Lu Yu – Tell Us Your Story). Lu Yu is a famous female Oprah-style talk show host in China. This episode focuses on the lives, love, trials and tribulations of Li Lunzuo and Ju Jiazhong. Li was born into a farming family in Chengdu, while Ju was born in Chongqing. Both of them were born about days apart in March 1956. They first met each other in Chengdu on 12 Mar 1985, at a lake near the Wenhua Laodong Gong (Cultural Labour Centre). The lake was a popular local gay hangout then. Ju made the first move by asking to borrow a lighter from Li. They found the ideal partner in each other, and have since been together for 21 years at the time the show was recorded. They had also celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in 2006, after having gotten married a year after meeting. Their marriage was not a legal union since China does not recognise same-sex marriage. There were no witnesses to the ceremony – it was just the two of them, with “the blue sky, white clouds, green hills and emerald waters” as their witnesses (the location was a reservoir area). They made their own marriage certificate and wrote their own marriage vows on it. There were no rings exchanged, but rather, “a sincere exhange of each other’s true heart”. Next, they decided to …

I’m working on a Modern World History assignment, where I have to write a letter from a Chinese man(who is working of the transcontinental railroad in 1868) back to his family in China. I’m taking Chinese this year in school but my Chinese isn’t all that good yet, But I thought that I’d impress both my World History teacher and my Chinese teacher. So could someone translate this into Mandarin Chinese please.. Thanks in advance.

Dear Family,

The last five years have been tough, but I have managed so far. There is fifteen in my labor group. We got our groups because we are all from China. One the first night each crew set up tents, in which we live. Our group has a head man, someone who organizes the work and keeps discipline, a cook, and of course the workers. Our cook usually cooks us dried oysters, abalone, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, crackers, noodles, Chinese bacon and pork, poultry and tea, so even though the work is tough we still have something to look forward to at the end of the day, and that reminds us of home.
The men from other countries, as well as natives to America, are so different from our culture. The barely ever shower, we shower after our meal each night. Charles Crocker, the man we worked for worked alongside of us, which was very nice. If there was ever a reason why I would not like Mr. Crocker it would be because of a man he hired, James Harvey Strobridge. James style was to use intimidation to get up to work harder and faster to meet deadlines, and when this didn’t work he would result to physical beating, of which i only got one, but don’t worry about that.
I can honestly say that the hardest part I, and my crew had to endure was cutting through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. To do this seemingly impossible job, we gathered reeds from the San Fransisco Bay Area and made knee length baskets, that we used to hoist one of us down to use our pick to hammer out enough room to place explosive powder. Then the other men would pull us back up, so they could detonate the explosives, when I was very dangerous, due to the rocks that fell away from this area. The explosion would create a ledge so that we could go back down and pick our way through the mountains.
In the winter of 1865-66 there was as much as eight feet of snow in the ground, so to get done what we had to many of the crews made ventilation and tunnel systems so we could live an d work underground. This was very hard work also, it was very cold and many of us didn’t have the proper clothing the allow us to survive. In that winter alone nearly five-hundred men were killed because of avalanches and falling from ice.
On the morning of 10 May 1869, I was so filled with joy when they laid the last spike. I went to the ceremony on the Construction Train, riding on the rails that we had all laid. When that ceremony was over I was so happy I nearly cried, because i knew that I was finally able to come home to you all. I love you all so much. I’ll See you and talk to you soon.

Sincerely Yours,
Dad

There are plenty of tea accessories to choose from. For example, the tea ball is one of the most popular accessories to use when making tea. Some people choose tea cups or a brewer set containing a teapot and a small cup without a handle to make tea. Disposable tea filters are also easy and convenient to use, and cups or mugs with built-in brewing basket are quite popular. These are easy accessories for personal use. In fact, it is recommended to have a smaller size of tea-brewing accessory because you may choose to brew stronger or weaker tasting tea for yourself. When a refill is needed, you just need to add hot water and brew it again, which can be very convenient.

Where can I find out the value of these dishes, tea cups, gravy bowl and where they were made. On the bottom, it has a chinese, japanese marking, I believe.
The set is in Ivory with 3 birds that have large wings, almost like a swan,
red beck with long gold pecks and the legs are long also webed.
24 kr.gold on handle of cups, top of cups with also design under rim, also bottom
is rim of gold..dishes also.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Portland Classical Chinese Garden, in Old Town/Chinatown, Portland Oregon as seen by my wife and I on Monday, 18 February 2008. It’s still wintertime so not many flowers are in bloom. I saw a pink camellia with yellow stamens, and the plum blossoms were just emerging. Normally, this would be too early, but the garden is protected by a wall which captures the warm sunlight. It is modeled on the gardens of Suzhou, Portland’s sister city in China. We enjoyed our visit, especially the wonderful architecture, the refreshing winter melon juice in the tea house, and the informative tour. It’s simply amazing that so much beauty can be packed into one square city block, total land area of about 0.8 acres! Set to the popular tune “I am who I am” as sung by Michael Wong. For more information about the garden, visit its website: www.portlandchinesegarden.org

Puer Tea – Heavenly Tea for the Divine Gods. Puer is one of the most famous tea in history, it is the tea that bridged civilizations between the east and west. It was the tea for the Emperors, now available for the common people. Tibetans loved the tea so much that trading routes were set up 1000 years ago to exchange gold and horses for the tea. The ancient trail is the famous Tea-Horse Trail （茶马古道）. [Civilization and Innovation] The Old Flavour of Puer Tea 3/3 [普洱茶]

I’m looking for a place to buy a set of traditional Chinese dinnerware for eight or ten people. Each setting would ideally have a soup bowl, a rice bowl, a soup spoon, and a plate. Chopsticks, chopsticks rests, and tea cups would be nice but not crucial.

Using a Chinese tea aroma cup set.

Boomer Angst: A visit to China helps American size up the situation
Ain’t no Big Gulps in China.

After more than a week in this amazing country of 1.3 billion souls, I can report firsthand that the Chinese, as a group, are not big gulpers. Shanghai is a sophisticated, modern metropolis with millions of people milling about on the streets sporting clothes that would be right at home in the U.S.

Just one thing is missing from their ensembles. The throngs aren’t schlepping monster-sized drinks as they go about their merry ways. No 32-ounce plastic cups of soda. No mega-mugs of coffee. No half-gallon jugs of water.

This despite the 3,500 KFC and 1,300 McDonald’s restaurants in China. Not to mention the Dairy Queens and Starbucks. So it’s not as if huge drinks aren’t available. But you simply don’t see the Chinese imbibing, at least not on the go. The only liquid generally served at meals is soup. Afterward there’s hot tea, served in cups we’d consider small.

To accommodate uber-thirsty American and Canadian tourists, restaurants and hotels serve one beverage per customer at meals to tour groups like the one I’m with. You’re offered a choice of the local beer, Sprite, Coke or bottled water — served in a juice glass. Want a refill? That costs extra.

Think about the traditional Chinese tea sets. There’s a lovely pot and six or eight teeny, bowl-shaped cups. We attended a tea ceremony in the scenic town of Guilin and were instructed to finish our tea in exactly three sips. Which wasn’t tough, since the Lilliputian cups wouldn’t hold a thimble-full more.

Your perspective on size is influenced by your culture, I’m finding. A slim tumbler seems an adequate-sized drink to the Chinese but seems woefully small to Americans. On the other hand, a guide remarked she was from “a medium-sized city, only 4 million people.” A city of 100,000 was described by another guide as “a small village.” No surprise they feel that way, as more than 100 cities in China boast populations of at least 1 million.

The largest metropolitan area in the world today is Chongqing (say it chong-ching), with 33 million residents. Each year another 500,000 people move in. You see 20- and 30-story apartment buildings cheek by jowl, hundreds and hundreds of them as far as the eye can see. An estimated 250 “private cars” are added to the road in Chongqing every day, not counting trucks or company cars.

Visiting China quickly disabuses you of the notion that the world revolves around us, us, us, in the United States. This excerpt from a textbook, Unheard Voices: Celebrating Cultures From a Developing World, sums it up nicely:

If the World Were a Village of 100 People …

61 would be Asian.

12 would be African.

10 would be European.

10 would be Latin American.

6 would be North American.

1 would be Australian.

17 would speak Mandarin Chinese, while only 9 would speak English.

70 would be illiterate, and only 1 would have a college education.

50 would be malnourished, and 33 would have no access to clean, safe drinking water.

Sort of makes my petty gripes and grievances seem like chump change.

Guess I can manage to survive on little gulps.

it says made in china, with the number32 on it. it is blue with chinese symbols.

boil the water. put a pinch of leaves in cup. pour boiling water with up and down motion on leaves. wait until leaves unfold or set. when finished drinking cup of tea, refill with the hot water (not reboiled) two more times. enjoy and take notice to the change in taste after each pouring.

Haha, who would have thought mediacorp news crew was amongst the videographers at the Tan Tock Seng Hospital charity event Kewei & I performed at on Wednesday! We were equally amused to be spotted on the 6.30pm Channel 8 “Singapore Today”; and in those frantic hours, set up a make shift camera in front of a TV set and waited for the 9pm “News Jab @ 9″ Channel U broadcast. After which, texted each other of the success in recording it down, hilarious! We had great fun throughout the fusion performance, and also finally managed to catch up over a sumptuous buffet lunch! Seeing all them sitting around having a chinese tea-tasting session was definitely an eye-opener or as Kewei affirmed, a “culture shock”. More pics on www.alivenotdead.com ! =) -Clarence Yeo

I’m trying to find a tea set not sure if it’s Chinese or Japanese it’s Asian in origin anyways it’s blue and white with a house, or a village on it.
My mom always speaks of this tea set she had as a little girl that her aunt that traveled all over the world brought back to her anyways my mom dropped the set when she was little and every piece broke and I always thought it would be nice to get her a new one but I don’t know where to look for it.

Afternoon Tea in Shanghai Artist: 鯛の小骨 / Azure & Sands Album: TOUHOU JAZZ 2008 Album Artist: Azure & Sands Original Title: 上海紅茶館 ~ Chinese Tea Original Source: 東方紅魔郷 ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Original Artist: ZUN Meiling: welcome to Oriental Cafe. How can I help you? Customer: err.. I’m wondering if this place serves tea or something. Meiling: of course we do. We have the best collection of tea in Gensokyo that you won’t find anywhere else. We have Oolong tea, green tea, black tea, Earl Grey, but our specialty is the red tea. We’d recommend it to you- oh, it’s also best served with muffin if you like. Customer: red tea with muffin? Sounds very lovely; I’d like a set of it, please. Meiling: of course. Here you go, and enjoy your afternoon tea. (rant) Well, that’s about it. Sorry for the lack of non-badass Meiling picture to be used for this update (and it frustrates me that the only non-badass picture I have is of her paired up with Sakuya *runs from knife*) Anyway, wouldn’t it be funny if Meiling was to open her own cafe and manage it instead of working under the Scarlet Devil and constantly getting abused by her knife-wielding supervisor? As always, enjoy.

Experts’ Tea Ware
(Means this is for people who know tea well, is there any word better?)

Every part of the pot is perfectly designed and matched

Description High quality shudei clay ceramic Japanese tea pot (kyusu). This particular style of tea pot is normally rather small and frequently used in Japan to serve higher-quality green teas where the quantity to dispense is less and the beauty and form of the tea pot are an appreciated element of the tea service. The word shudei (literally “red mud”) is used to describe a special clay which takes on a brick red appearance when fired and is frequently used to create the best quality kyusu tea pots. Originating during the late 19th century, shudei pottery is produced through a fairly complicated procedure and fired at high temperature (over 1100 degrees Celsius) for extended periods; where a temperature change of only 10 degrees during the firing process can ruin the appearance of the pot. Shudei clay contains iron which is thought to enhance the flavor of green tea. About the Listed Item Vintage (yet seemingly unused), high quality Japanese-made shudei kyusu tea pot made by the potter Tokotatsu. Thissmall (please see size information below) tea pot features classic Japanese styling with delicate handle and spout and built-in ceramic strainer. The pot includes the potter’s name “Tokotatsu” stamped on the body (noted in detail photo below). All pieces are in excellent condition though one of the cups has a dark stain on the inside surface. The set comes in its own fitted wooden storage box. Japanese writing on the box reads shudei chaki meaning “Shudei tea set”. The …

I was recently given a set of Chinese tea in little tins. I don’t recognize some of the names though. Can anyone out there tell me anything about these teas?
- Shui Sen Tea
- Tit Koon Yum Tea
- Shou Mee Tea

Specifically, I’m wondering what regions they come from, brewing guidelines, broader categories (black? oolong?), more common names for them in the English-speaking world…? etc.

Thanks

www.shopping-in-beijing.com A tea set describes much about the Chinese culture, from its porcelain material, to traditional art and calligraphy, to conveying the importance of teas in the minds of Chinese.

given to me as a sales award by Natl Sales Mgr who traveled to China. I’m downsizing and need to sell. Where can I establish a true value and possibly sell?
Only want what is fair.

This is an ornament that goes along with tea sets in China. If you soak it in water, and then pour hot water over it, it will spit water… quite far. Good fun! They come in different shapes, I have seen this one, and a smaller pig one.

i need to find a reputable buyer who is willing to give a fair price.
i am in the fife area of scotland.

I am looking for a chinese tea set that has three layers of different shades green. The darkest green was the one closest to the top/rim of the set. It included six cups and a tea pot (there might have been more). It was sold some time ago at Disney Epcot, about 25 years I’m guessing. I am looking to get one for my mother– she worked there a long time ago and fell in love with it but didn’t have the money to get it. Any help would be amazing. Thanks!
