中国人对茶具很讲究,茶具多种多样,有瓷器(porcelain)的,有陶制(ceramic)的,又有玻璃茶具、木制茶具等,中国是瓷器的故乡,瓷器的发达,也为茶具的讲究提供了基础,但中国人的茶具并不总是用瓷器,陶具往往成为饮茶人的至爱,南方太湖之畔的宜兴陶器(boccaro)茶具受到人们的普遍喜欢,至今仍然有很大的影响力。
Chinese people pay particular attention to tea sets, which are made of various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, glass, wood and so on. China is the home of porcelain, and the development of porcelain lays a foundation for making quality porcelain tea sets. Yet, Chinese tea sets are not always porcelain ones. Instead, ceramic tea sets tend to be the favorite ones of tea drinkers. The boccaro tea sets produced in Yixing near Taihu Lake in the south have been popular with people and still have had a major impact so far.
