Using a traditional Chinese tea set can resolve several issues that many tea drinkers, who seek a greater level of involvement, might encounter:

  • Full flavor extraction: Several modern brewing methods do not properly extract the full flavor and aroma of high quality loose-leaf tea. Through specific brewing methods (short, multiple infusions) that are possible with this set, the Gongfu method of brewing helps tap the tea’s full potential.
  • Concentration on Brewing Parameters: In order to make the best cup of tea possible, one must be able to control three variables: water temperature, steeping time, and amount (or weight) of leaves to use. A traditional set gives users the tools (gaiwan or small teapot, tasting cups etc.) that allow users to have full control over all of these variables.

  • Enhancing Sensory Experience: Drinking tea is not just about taste; it also involves aroma, sight (of the leaves unfurling and the liquor colour), and touch (of the warm cup). So, the ritual of tea ceremony activates all the senses, which enhances enjoyment and provides a deep experience.
  • Connecting with Tradition: In a world that often moves at a breakneck pace, many find comfort and meaning in engaging with cultural heritage and contemplative practices. A traditional tea set offers a physical connection to centuries of Chinese tea culture, grounding you within that history and providing a sense of continuity.
  • Maintaining Focus and Relaxation: The meticulous nature of the tea ceremony encourages focus. This focus can help to quiet the mind and alleviate stress. The ritual provides a form of relaxation in and of itself.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Let’s look at some common questions tea lovers have about traditional Chinese tea sets and their use:

A traditional Chinese tea set usually includes a tea brewing vessel like a Yixing teapot, tea spoon, kettle, tea cups, tea strainer, tea basin, tea towel, and tea pitcher. Any venue that can be used to perform a Gongfu tea ceremony is considered a “tea house” regardless of what it calls itself: tea house, a room, pavilion, building in a park, etc. The next most common place for a Gongfu tea ceremony is in one’s own home, sunny living room, study, sitting area, or even adjoining traditional courtyard.

Gaiwan Yixing clay teapot Yixing clay cups

A traditional Chinese tea set draws connections between relatives and friends. The stories are retold over many years and newer ones gained even longer lasting memories. Long hours are spent over one tea

While different sets are possible, a simple Gongfu ceremony set should contain:
Brewing vessel, usually a small Yixing clay or porcelain teapot or a gaiwan.
Tasting cups, small cups to drink the tea.
Fairness pitcher (Gong Dao Bei) to ensure even flavour and concentration of all the tea liquor, even as it continues to steep.
Tea tray to catch waste water and spills.
Tea tool, usually a tea scoop, funnel and pick.

Most ceramics and porcelain teaware can be maintained by a rinse of hot water right after use, and leave to dry until dry to touch. If you are using a Yixing clay teapot you should in principle never wash it with soap. This is because the porous clay absorbs the flavour of the tea overtime, and this is a characteristic which makes Yixing teapots sought after by tea drinkers – they ‘learn’ of the teas and preserve their flavour for future brews. For Yixing teapots, you may rinse them with hot water only wiping the exterior with a soft cloth. Ensure all pieces are dry before putting them away.
The perfect starter kit to make excellent teas with the Gongfu method. Especially good for brewing high quality loose leaf teas, like Oolongs, Pu-erh, Black teas, and some Green and White teas where multiple short infusions will benefit the tea. These styles are perfect for Gongfu to bring out their best aroma. Try with different teas and see what you like best.
Although this set is intended for connoisseurs, it is not limited to them either. There is a learning curve for the Gongfu ceremony, but there are also books, videos, workshops and other resources to help you learn the techniques. Having a nice set to start out with often makes that process easier, and can help make the process more rewarding from the beginning as well.
The size of the brewing vessel and the number of cups in your tea set should match how you plan to use it and for how many guests you plan to serve tea. Smaller teapots or gaiwans (100-200ml) are more ideal for personal use or serving 2-3 guests, whereas larger tea sets are more adequate for entertaining larger parties. Consider what your circumstance is when you typically drink your tea.
Material hugely affects the tea brewing and drinking experience. Porcelain is perfect for one to admire the colour of the tea liquor, with a fresh taste upon entrance to the mouth. Yixing clay teapots are very absorbing and over long-time use, it can retain the tea flavour within the teapot itself, and enhance the flavour of certain type of tea (a specific teapot is usually dedicated to a specific type of tea). Glass allows one to enjoy the aesthetic pleasure of the leaves unfurling, in particular Green and White tea.
While the set may not include with specific instructions, we provide resources and advice on our website [Link to your website’s tea ceremony guide] on how you can learn Gongfu tea ceremony, and there are many books and online videos available.

Selection/Comparison Suggestions

Choosing a traditional Chinese tea set can be an important decision, especially given how many are available to choose. Here’s how our Traditional Chinese Tea Set for Tea Connoisseurs compares with other options, and some suggestions for choosing your traditional Chinese tea set.

Compared to a basic / entry set, our connoisseur set features natural materials, finer craftsmanship, as well as a more complete set of tools for a full Gongfu experience. A basic set usually boils (pun intended!) down to a teapot and a couple of cups of a certain category. We’ve included all the necessary tools for a complete Gongfu Cha ceremony. This aids in better control of the brewing process and a deeper understanding of your tea.

Compare with similar high-end sets in terms of material (Yixing clay, high-fired porcelain, glass), design and aesthetic, and specific pieces included. We like to think our set is well-curated to include a combination of traditional design, functional excellence, and aesthetic beauty at a very reasonable price, offering serious value to serious tea lovers.

Here’s a simple comparison table to help you visualize the differences:

Feature Basic Tea Set Our Connoisseur Tea Set Other High-End Sets
Material Quality Standard ceramic/porcelain High-fired porcelain, quality clay Varies (Yixing, high-end porcelain)
Craftsmanship Standard production Skilled artisan work Often artisan or renowned brands
Components Teapot, cups Gaiwan/small teapot, fairness pitcher, tasting cups, tea tray, tools Varies widely, often specialized

Tips for Picking:

  • Think about what you’ll be using the kettle for most. Are you going to be sipping out of a vessel on nights you’re solo at home? Or will you serve your expertly made brew to friends and guests, a group act? That’ll tell you the size and amount of cups you need.
  • Consider your favorite types of tea: If it’s primarily Pu-erh or some Oolongs, a Yixing clay teapot will be a great addition (although usually bought separately from or as part of specialty tea sets). If you’re looking for a flexible set that works for a range of different teas, high-fire porcelain is a great option.

  • Set a budget: Traditional tea sets range drastically in price based on the material, craftsmanship and manufacturing location. This connoisseur traditional tea set gives you many benefits for the price.
  • Think it’s pretty: A design and overall aesthetic you love, since you’ll be making tea with this set on a regular basis.
  • Read the reviews and ask for recommendations: Take insight from other tea lovers’ experiences.
