Taiwanese Tea Culture - Teaware

Teaware

The typical Taiwanese family owns at least one set of teaware at home. Many people collect teapots as a hobby, and most families in Taiwan have Yixing clay teapots at home. Teapots are used to brew teas intensively so that the surface of the teapot becomes "bright". This process is called "raising the teapot", which enhances the beauty of the clay teapot.
