The Jingdezhen Chinese Porcelain tea sets 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.

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.

 

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

handy base provides the needed extra protection for the palms of tea drinkers so that no unwarranted hand burning happens in the course of the session. 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.

 

The exceptional coating and glazing of the porcelain tea sets 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.

 

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.’
