Cultural Supplementary Notes
In traditional Chinese tea culture (such as Kung Fu Tea preparation and White Tea brewing), “tea sets/utensils” are not only practical tools but also embody craft aesthetics. Common materials include porcelain, purple clay, glass, etc. The corresponding English expressions can be refined by combining the materials. For instance, “紫砂茶具” can be translated as “purple clay tea set,” and “玻璃茶具” can be translated as “glass tea utensils.”
