What items do you need for a Chinese tea ceremony tea set?

The tea set is the heart of the ceremony, and families often pass one down through generations. You should choose a set that feels right for your hands and looks good in photos. A complete set usually includes two matching cups for the bride and groom, a tray to carry them, a lid to cover the pot, and a pitcher to hold the tea. A tea warmer keeps the brew hot while you move around the room. Red cloth napkins are traditional and make cleanup easy when cups get warm.

Some families add extra pieces for luck, like a pair of red candles or a box of sweets. If you are unsure what to buy, ask your parents or elders which style their family used. You can borrow a set from a relative or buy a new one that matches your wedding colours. The most important thing is that the cups are clean and the tea is warm when you serve it.
