Best Chinese Tea Sets To Buy
Sponsored Links
My brother likes drinking tea. All types. I want to buy him a tea set but IDK which would be the best. Like maybe a Japanese Traditional set or Chinese?
Any tea enthusiast out there? Could you please recommend me a tea set that he may like and find very useful?
he drinks alot of green tea.
He says he likes herbal teas the best.
Thanks for all your help. I’m putting it to a vote.

This is actually a complex question. Technically a tea set for green tea is very different from a tea set for black tea. The green tea set is very small, the cups are small, and you brew the leaves for only a few minutes before pouring. These sets can make elegant gifts, but in today’s lifestyle often they go unused as decorations.
The most functional set will have a 4-6 cup pot with some sort of mesh strainer built in. You want the strainer to be removable. So when the tea is done, you can remove the strainer rather than pouring out all the tea.
Really, any tea pot with the built in strainer will make him happy, but a set with matching pot, mugs, and coasters is very cool. Oh yeah, an added bonus would be mugs with lids. But it may be hard to find all of those attributes in a single matching set.
I like this set:

Depends on the TYPE of tea he likes.
there are tea infusers
Tea Pots (english)
Tea Pots (asian)
Personally I kind of like the english tea pots. (but I am a girl)
but find the metal tea pots interesting.(for a male)
go to a tea shop and go crazy
do you know what he drinks now… that will give you a clue.
Personally I would buy a couple of nice mugs and those tea balls that you put leaves in and a traditional tea pot. Then buy a variety of loose tea you think he would enjoy. I think he will get more use out of a traditional pot than a Japanese or Chinese set (even though they are nice).
