FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions about traditional Chinese tea sets:
A simple set will contain a teapot, teacups and a tea tray. A more complex set might include a gaiwan (lidded bowl), a tea pitcher, tea tools such as tongs and a scoop and a tea strainer. The set can change according to which type of tea ceremony is being performed, as well as regional variations.
Porcelain, Yixing clay, glass, and other materials. porcelains are great for delicate teas such as green tea or white tea as they conduct heat well, but do not overheat as much as iron pots, the latter commonly used for oolong, black or puer teas influenced by the Tang dynasty tea culture. Yixing clayware are meant to be seasoned in vain with a single type of tea, such as puer, rendering a tea more flavorful each time it is prepared with a “nurtured” teapot. Glass teaware shows to have an adequacy on green teas,
A simple ceremony can be done by warming the teapot and cups with hot water, adding tea leaves to the pot, pouring hot (sometimes boiling depending on what kind of tea you are using) water over the leaves (some will do a quick rinse and discard of the first pour), steeping for the appropriate amount of time, pouring the steeped tea into a pitcher, then from the pitcher into each cup. The ceremony is more about performing it and sharing tea.
Traditional sets are versatile. Porcelain and glass are great with most of the teas as well. They are appropriate for green, white, yellow and scented teas like the famous Jasmine: Yixing clay tea pots tend to be one tea exclusive over time; for instance, they’re usually dedicated for one type of tea, such as Oolong or Pu-erh.
For most materials, rinse with hot water after use and air dry. Do not clean with soap. Yixing clay can absorb the soap and so the taste of the soap will be in the pot the next time you brew tea. For yixing clay tea pots, rinse with hot water.
Yes. Traditional tea sets range from the simple to the elaborate, but a basic set of a teapot, cups and tray is a very good place for any beginner to start learning about Chinese tea culture and practicing simple brewing techniques.
The act of serving tea to the elders in the family is a sign of respect and gratitude. The younger generation show respect to their family heritage in this way and all the while, showing thanks and gratitude to their elders and to the wisdom and love their elders have shown to them throughout the years.
