Creative & Unique Tea Sets from Around the World – PadStyle | Interior Design Blog | Modern Furniture

Tea time is a practice that goes beyond just having a beverage as a refreshment. In many areas of the world, having tea is a common part of the culture and in some places is even ritualistic. England, China, Japan, India, Morocco, areas of the Middle East and South America, just to name a few, highly treasure the tradition of drinking tea and the varieties of tea to choose from. This is why many tea sets are valued greatly, are passed down as heirlooms or given as very special wedding gifts.
