First of all, when selecting tea ware, in addition to paying attention to the quality of the material, one should also consider the appearance and color. Only by harmoniously coordinating the function, texture, and color of the teaware can a perfect set be chosen.

The color of ceramic ware is closely related to the mineral content in the body or glaze, and the same mineral content can produce different shades depending on its concentration.

Pottery is usually made from clay containing iron oxide. Due to differences in firing temperature and oxidation levels, the colors are often yellow, reddish-brown, brown, gray, etc. Porcelain, on the other hand, has always been rich in variety and diverse in patterns.

The color of various teaware mainly refers to the color of the material and the decorative patterns. It can generally be divided into cool and warm tones.

Cool tones include blue, green, cyan, white, and black, while warm tones include yellow, orange, red, and brown.

The selection of teaware color is mainly about matching the appearance color, and the principle is to complement the tea leaves.

The inner wall of the drinking vessel should preferably be white, as it better reflects the color and brightness of the tea liquor. At the same time, attention should be paid to the color coordination of the pot, pitcher, and cups within a set. With the addition of a tray, stand, and lid holder, the whole set should feel unified. If the auxiliary items are coordinated based on the color of the main teaware, the combination will be seamless.

Below we introduce several types of tea and their suitable teaware in terms of color and form:

Green tea: Transparent glass cups, colorless, patternless, and lidless. Alternatively, use white porcelain, celadon, or blue-and-white porcelain cups without lids.

White tea: White porcelain or yellow clay stoneware teapots and cups, or black porcelain with colored interior.
