Collection: Tea Accessories

1. Yixing teapot (must) – Yixing teapot is slow in losing heat. Small (personal preference is below 6 oz) and deep teapot is preferable for best result.

2.Teacups (must) – that is, if you don’t want to drink direct from the teapot. 3-4 cups of about 1 oz each is fine, depending on the size of the teapot.

3. Kung Fu Tea Tray (not a must) – quite a bit of spill and waste water is produced during the process. The tea tray holds such water so you don’t have to wipe it off the table. It might seem to be just for convenience but it’s BIG convenience.

4. Tea Tools (optional) – in the tool set, there are tea shuffle, funnel, tongs, digger, tea needle. You won’t get into much trouble though if you brew without the tool set.

5. Tea (must) – need no expert to tell tea is a must.

6. Faircup (optional) – transitional container when teacups are full but tea in teapot has to be emptied to avoid overbrewing.

7. Tea Strainer (optional) – screens out small pieces of tea leaves.

8. Source of hot water (must) – Sorry, please don’t try to look it up in the PIC above because it’s not there. You can use a variety of source, say, a pot heated on stove, an electronic heating pot, etc. Just make sure whatever you use can give you boiling water.
