The history of tea units and the tea consuming world
Green tea is drunk by many people around the world and is part of the culture by many. Part of enjoying tea is also in carefully selecting and using the right types of teapots and teasets to complement the tea Tea sets usually consist of a tea pot, at least one tea cup and saucer, and usually a sugar bowl and milk jug. if you are lucky enough some tea sets may even come with matching servers and trays.
The tea set originated in China, where the first tea cups and bowls were made from porcelain. These first tea pots were moulded and fired from unglazed clay. If you look around the world you will notice that there are so many variations and types of tea sets in use. Asian tea sets, european tea sets, they all look different but function in the same way.
England is famous for being a nation of tea drinkers and also for inventing the institution we know as Afternoon Tea. This custom got going in the seventeenth century and had been commonly enjoyed by upper class family members between the hours of 3pm and 5pm . A tea set is essential for a proper afternoon tea, which usually includes cups of tea served with milk and sugar, sandwiches, scones and cakes or biscuits. Formal afternoon tea is still served by high class hotels all over the world and is a great treat – but why not enjoy your own version of afternoon tea at the weekend with your very own tea set.
A tea party is another great way to enjoy tea socially. Traditionally tea parties were held by rich families, using their best tea pots and usually a silver tea set. In today’s modern times, holding a tea party is a great alternative celebration for any occasion and has become a popular activity for birthdays and baby showers.
Tea really does taste significantly better whenever drunk from a pretty cup and we could all add a little magic to our everyday life by taking 10 mins our from our hectic day to release and enjoy an excellent green tea perhaps with a piece of cake or even biscuit or two . Tea sets are great for weekends of when you have company but if you’re just enjoying tea time with your family or a close friend, you probably won’t want to get the whole tea set out. Tea pots are a great way to serve tea in any setting, they keep the tea warm and the action of sharing a pot is more social than serving individual cups of tea. If you’re just enjoying just one cup exclusively by yourself then why don’t you conside a tea for one set ?
A glass tea pot is often a well-known modern version of the traditional tea pot and can look very attractive filled with golden tea. You can also monitor the color of the tea and take the tea leaves or tea bag out when the tea has reached its desired strength. For something a little more traditional, you may want to think about a cast iron tea pot . These are traditionally used in Japan, look beautiful and will last for many years. There are various other available choices available, whether your preference is very old tea pots or modern electric tea pots.
