We have a material, style, design to suit every occasion.
Why a Chinese Tea Set
A Chinese tea set is a must have for any tea ceremony. It consists of a teapot, matching tea cups, and often a fair cup, tea strainer and tea tray. Each piece is designed to brew and serve the tea in the most authentic and enjoyable way. Whether you’re a tea aficionado or just starting out with Chinese tea, a good tea set will make a big difference to your tea time.
