Tea service - the basis of home tea drinking

We all love to visit, and to receive guests at home is a special pleasure. A family or friendly feast with a piece of cake or fish cake is certainly accompanied by a cup of tea. A beautiful tea set creates a special comfort, and gives a mood to any tea party.

Probably, each of us has ever received a tea set as a gift. Rarely such presents are successful. Therefore, it is better to buy a tea set yourself. This purchase will give you a huge number of warm home evenings in the circle of loved ones. And how to choose the best service?

We choose the material

1. Ceramics - quite inexpensive and beautiful material. Ceramic ware is fragile and heavy, it is usually chosen for daily use.
2. Porcelain. The porcelain utensils are very light and strong enough, it is not surprising that it is much more expensive than ceramic. In addition, porcelain is very elegant, and the service from this material is perfect for special occasions.
3. Glass. Very popular material in the modern world. The glassware is beautiful and practical.

Tea sets are designed for a different number of guests. If you have a large family, then you should consider that the elements of the service should be enough for everyone.

When choosing dishes for tea drinking, follow your own taste. Tea set is often not only a set of dishes, but also an interesting element of the decor of the dining room or kitchen. If the dining area is decorated in neutral calm tones, then bright accents in the form of beautiful tea sets will please both the hostess and the guests. Your tea set should match the general color scheme of the kitchen and, at the same time, stand out against the general background, creating an atmosphere of home celebration.

For fans of English restraint modest dishes in the spirit of British aristocrats will suit. Usually these are smooth cups, without any white ornaments. The only decoration of this service can be a thin platinum or gold layer. Give vivid accents to the kitchen can set with colorful cups of saturated colors.

Having stopped the choice on a certain set, having chosen color and a material from which the service is made, carefully examine each element of a set for presence of cracks. Make sure that the picture of each item is the same, and does not have any factory damage.

Tea set is an excellent gift, both for oneself and for loved ones. But choose the service wisely and then, a nice home tea party will become a nice family tradition.
