tea set

A tea set, when referring to an English-style tea set in particular, typically includes a teapot, tea cups, saucers, a sugar bowl, a creamer, and sometimes a tea tray. Tea sets can be made from various materials such as porcelain, ceramic, glass, or even silver, which is occasionally found in antique shops.

Tea sets often feature decorative designs and patterns, making them aesthetically pleasing and suitable for special occasions, as collectibles, or bringing a comforting quality to your home. 

When using a tea set, the teapot is filled with hot water and loose tea leaves or tea bags are added. After steeping for a few minutes, the tea is poured into the cups using a strainer if needed. Sugar and milk or cream can be added to taste.

Tea sets make great housewarming, wedding, anniversary, or birthday gifts.
