This Yixing starter tea set includes everything you need to enjoy tea. It includes a brewing teapot, pouring teapot, six aroma cups, six drinking cups, and one preparation tray. The pots and cups are much smaller than American tea vessels because traditional Chinese tea preparation consists of many tea servings at one sitting.

Yixing clay is named for the city where it is found, in the region near the city of Yixing in Jiangsu province, China. The purple clay dates back to the Song Dynasty and is typically used to make tea vessels. Yixing wares are unglazed and usually red or brown. Yixing clay makes great tea wares because of its ability to absorb flavors of the beverage it holds, creating a more robust flavor over time. Because of this, do not use detergents when cleaning Yixing teapots, use water only.
