Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Teaware encompasses a broad international spectrum of equipment used in the brewing and consumption of tea. Many components make up that spectrum, and vary greatly based upon the type of tea being prepared, and the cultural setting in which it is bring prepared. This is often referred to as the tea ceremony, and holds much significance in many cultures, particularly in northwestern Europe and in eastern Asia. This book studies various components of teaware including kettle, samovar, yixing clay teapot, slop bowl, tamis, mesh, tea infuser, and sugar bowl.
