Chinese teaware:
-
Teacups (Zhong): Most often made of ceramic or porcelain. Zhongs have different shapes and decorative elements. For example, clay mugs can absorb the aromas and flavors of tea, eventually acquiring a rich aroma.
-
Teapots: Chinese teapots are varied and often have special designs for different types of tea. Cast iron, ceramics or glass are often used. A distinctive feature of some chakhs is the air flow in the handle, which reduces the temperature of the surface and ensures ease of use.
-
Tables (chaban) Special tables on which tea is prepared are often made of bamboo or wood. They are designed for the convenience of brewing tea, and also support the traditional style of tea drinking.
-
Tea spoons and brushes: Special bamboo spoons and brushes are often used to distribute the tea into the cups and collect the tea party.
-
Gongfu Ceremony Sets: Gongfu is a traditional tea ceremony, and there are special sets for it that include cups, teapots, spoons and trays. Each element is selected to highlight the aroma and taste of tea.
Chinese teaware is not only functional, but also reflects the rich tea culture, accompanying the tea drinking process with a special aesthetic experience.
