You should, for the design is rarely available in the Chinese market, let alone in Europe or the United States. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rarity results from the extremely difficult molding techniques for the making of your teapot.

A fine bone china, your tea set is crafted out of a fine mix of quality clay and animal bone ash, which is a lot better than normal tea sets in trapping heat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel ease about the glaze. It's pure, odorless, and above all, hazardous-free. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You tea set is handmade in Jingdezhen famous for making the world's best porcelain since almost 800 years ago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your fine &lt;strong&gt;Chinese tea set&lt;/strong&gt; comes with a graceful teapot and four lovely cups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Guarantee&lt;/span&gt;: All of our Chinese tea sets are the works of master potters who perfected their techniques through years of tradition and training.

Even the potter who made your cup is a direct descedant of the master artisan back then. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your tea cup is not only beautiful, but also safe. The pure glaze is odorless and 100% hazard-free. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your &lt;strong&gt;Chinese tea cup&lt;/strong&gt; come with an elegant packaging box.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Guarantee&lt;/span&gt;: All of our Chinese tea sets are the works of master potters who perfected their techniques through years of tradition and training.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;gallery179&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A unique purple clay teapot is from Yixing, China and now it is only 193 US Dollars.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The very first &lt;strong&gt;tea set&lt;/strong&gt; produced in the world originated from the very place where tea infusion was born. In the Yixing region of China (the only source of this unique material), purple clay, red clay or “zisha” was the main component in the aptly called Yixing tea sets.  Pot making began to rise during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279) but it flourished even further during the reign of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;border-collapse: collapse;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;caption id=&quot;&quot; align=&quot;aligncenter&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; caption=&quot;Dragon Totem Chinese Tea Set&quot;&lt;img alt=&quot;Dragon Totem Chinese Tea Set&quot; src=&quot;http://www.thinkbeijing.com/g-img/6/_hVsUoddhoCA/TCrxK0_Mn4I/AAAAAAAAANU/5ymZXlknLi4/LU1HLTAyOTAt5Ymv5pys.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Dragon Totem Chinese Tea Set&quot; height=&quot;194&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;/caption&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/payment_img/purchase-tins-one_s.png&quot; class=&quot;cmsGallery&quot; id=&quot;authorize_95&quot; alt=&quot;authorize&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, before purple clay became a staple in tea pottery, tea was used to drink directly from drinking bowls after being brewed. The said clay was used in making jars, bowls and the like until it was later discovered as an ideal element in tea set making.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Chinese tea set&lt;/strong&gt; contains one&lt;strong&gt; tea pot&lt;/strong&gt; and two teacups. The teapot can hold water up to 200 millimeters, equivalent to one drinking cup. On the other hand, the tea cups can accommodate 70 millimeters of water. The reason for the cups’ low water-holding capacity is to allow the drinkers to savor the hot brewed tea used in ceremonies and social gathering in ancient Chinese tradition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- pagebreak --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The tea’s design is inspired by the ancient Chinese dragon cane. On the wares, the relief map of this antique cane was intricately pictured. The dragon symbolizes the masculine energy and fertility of an emperor and the emperor himself. In line with the tea session’s reputation as a form of a royalty event; the legendary creature encrypted in a king’s cane is the perfect design.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are the distinct properties of this purple clay that it has captured the hearts of almost all tea potters in China and even influenced the porcelain-dominated &lt;strong&gt;tea ware&lt;/strong&gt; in the West?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apparently, the color of the clay commands immediate attraction and beauty. The double layering of the ware is designed effectively to not burn the delicate hand handling the set.The glazed outside part of the set enhances more the ware’s color. However, the inside is left uncoated so that the natural pores of the clay are not blocked and the flavor, aroma, smell and warmth of the tea being brewed remains.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;caption id=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;aligncenter&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; caption=&quot;Your tea set becomes seasoned as you use&quot;&lt;img alt=&quot;Your tea set becomes seasoned as you use&quot; src=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/_hVsUoddhoCA/TYsMv-2_h9I/AAAAAAAACBk/uIXt8geSPL0/7.jpg&quot; height=&quot;256&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; /&gt;/caption&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Limited Quantity in Stock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;cmsGallery&quot; id=&quot;authorize_95&quot; alt=&quot;authorize&quot; src=&quot;/payment_img/purchase-tins-one_s.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gradually, the teapots and cups become seasoned and the distinct flavor of the tea is absorbed for a long time. This unique property suggests that a set should be used for a certain type of tea so that there will be no mixing of the blends. Some of the teas that are best used with this set are black tea, flower tea, pu er tea, fruit tea, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ingenuity of Chinese people and the help of Taiwanese technicians, the product is made to meet the above standards required by the European Union, American Food and drug Administration and the Switzerland SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) which are three of the world’s most organized teams in product inspection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Literally, the set means “to go as you wish” or “all wishes come true”. There is some truth behind it. From just being a local product, it has spread now to the rest of the world not in its primitive form but in a 280-by-180-by-120 box with a design that tells a story of culture, history and quality. The manufacturers get more than what they wished for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Guarantee&lt;/span&gt;: All of our&lt;strong&gt; Chinese tea sets&lt;/strong&gt; are the works of master potters who perfected their techniques through years of tradition and training.

The benefit of this technique - as you will find out - is that the teapot ‘sucks in’ the flavor of your leaves… only to give it back in a more fragrant way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.3;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.3;&quot;&gt;&lt;!-- pagebreak --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.3;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is believed Chinese characters were originally invented some 5,000 years ago by Cang Jie, an official of the imperial court. Cang Jie was ordered to create a writing system to ensure the legacy of the throne. He first devised pictographs based on objects, then developed more intricate characters with complex meanings.

Most tea lovers would like to try their drink brewed and prepared in porcelain&lt;strong&gt; tea sets&lt;/strong&gt; for the thrill of having to enjoy a cup of tea over a well known tea-friendly material. The porcelain made in this region and its elaborate description of paper-thin measurement, mirror-bright image and jade-white color all account for the reverence it gets from other porcelain centers in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- pagebreak --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;caption id=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;aligncenter&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; caption=&quot;Your elegant Jingdezhen Orchid Flower Chinese tea set&quot;&lt;img alt=&quot;Your elegant Jingdezhen Orchid Flower Chinese tea set&quot; src=&quot;http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hVsUoddhoCA/S_0WN2LXEEI/AAAAAAAAAGk/Darf4wk1xRM/5.jpg&quot; height=&quot;188&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;/caption&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Special order&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;cmsGallery&quot; id=&quot;authorize_96&quot; alt=&quot;authorize&quot; src=&quot;/payment_img/purchase-tins-one_s.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Jingdezhen &lt;strong&gt;Chinese Porcelain tea sets&lt;/strong&gt; are a must for tea enthusiasts and a must-try for beginners. Do not be confused with what color to choose from, either white or light blue because the two are the same basically. The Northern part of the region uses the white shade while the southern part chooses the lighter color of blue. There is no significance or whatsoever of the color of the set.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This specific set for example contains six cups and one pot with designs that are purely hand-made. The play of colors forms a figure of a cymbidium (orchid) flower. This flower is known to represent spiritual purity in virtue and morality in Chinese tradition, just the kind of feeling one gets after enjoying a session with this set.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With its six-piece cups, the set is surely a fact to be cherished with friends and family. The cup’s height of 4.2 centimeters with a brim diameter of 8.6 centimeters is perfectly crafted to hold about 100 to 150 millimeters of tea and to soothe one’s needs in tea sipping.

The wider diameter makes the cooling of the brew a no-mess so that sipping becomes easy and comfortable; exactly what the whole tea session is all about.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The exceptional coating and glazing of the porcelain &lt;strong&gt;tea sets&lt;/strong&gt; inside and out bring out the best of the brew, no matter what kind of tea it is. The cups specifically have the ability to retain the aroma and flavor over a period of time, without altering succeeding infusions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given these information, one would be led to the simple story behind the start of the porcelain’s role in tea pottery. It is narrated that a government official from the Jin Dynasty (265-420 A.D.) moved to a quiet town called Jingdezhen. A lover of porcelain making, he mastered the art of shaping, heating and coating of tea sets into a once poor tea ware industry of the area. He taught the people there with what he knew and almost 1, 500 years after; Jingdezhen becomes what is known as China’s ‘Porcelain Capital.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Guarantee&lt;/span&gt;: All of our &lt;strong&gt;Chinese tea sets&lt;/strong&gt; are the works of master potters who perfected their techniques through years of tradition and training.
