The choice of a gift for a loved one is always difficult. After all, you need to pick up such a thing, which, firstly, will definitely be pleasant to him, secondly, it will be used, not dusting in the cabinet, and thirdly, it will look beautiful and stylish, regardless of what it is. If you choose a gift for a person not so close (for example, for a colleague), then the choice is complicated by the risk of buying a thing that he already has.
In such cases it is customary to give gifts that will never be superfluous. For example, if you know that your colleague loves tea, give him a beautiful and exquisite cup. And even if you do not have verified information about the tastes of a gifted person, he still will not need a gift such as a tea pair or a tea set .
Gift Tea Pairs
So, the tea pair is a small set consisting of a tea cup and the same saucer.
Unlike coffee, tea couples look a little different. First, they are larger in size and contain usually 220-260 ml. Secondly, the saucer for the traditional Russian tea-drinking has a small groove to make it possible to drink from it. But modern tea couples are very original and diverse in appearance, in particular color, height and shape, as manufacturers do not always take this moment into account.
In addition to a saucer and a cup, beautiful gift tea couples can be equipped with a spoon included in the kit.
The tea pair, which can now be purchased at the store, will not necessarily be made of porcelain. Although this material has excellent quality, it keeps the heat well and looks very aesthetically, but the fashion trends take their toll, and now at the peak of popularity are such materials for making a tea pair, like glass, ceramics,
Tea ceremonies are also in trend today. Present the birthday boy a classic Chinese tea pair so that he will also join this interesting culture. In China, Gongfu-cha ceremonies are held, where a tea pair consisting of three items is used. It is a wide cup without a handle, resembling a bowl, a narrow tall glass and an elongated saucer, on which the first two objects are set. In addition to enjoying the taste and aroma of green tea, traditional for the culture of this country, the participant of the tea ceremony, even if he is only one, can get aesthetic pleasure from contemplating the unity of the composition of the Chinese tea pair.
