The ceremony of tea drinking is an ancient practice in China and around Asia. The cups you drink from are just as important as the tea itself. These beautifully decorated small porcelain cups are for tasting premium Chinese "Gongfu" tea.
Chinese tea culture refers to the methods of preparation of tea, the equipment used to make tea and the occasions in which tea is consumed in China.Tea culture in China differs from that of Europe, Britain or Japan in such things as preparation methods, tasting methods and the occasions for which it is consumed. Even now, in both casual and formal Chinese occasions, tea is consumed regularly. In addition to being a drink, Chinese tea is used in traditional Chinese medicine and in Chinese cuisine.
