"This is gorgeous! I had given this out as a gift once before, so this time I bought one for myself. What a pleasant surprise. The tea box is rustic and simple, much better than the many I had seen when browsing around for a tea box. It's rustic, so don't expect a shiny box, this is real. The sample flowers are tiny and the tea is delicious. The teapot is one-cup size, but perfect. You can steep the flowers two to three times, for two to three cups of tea.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Delicious blossoming tea, a perfect non-dripping teapot, and a rustic tea box. I am very glad I sent this out as a gift to my friend. No wonder she were so thankful for it! It does making for a unique gift."
"My friend and her mom bought me a Iron Tea Set. I was for the longest time against metal teapots as I thought they gave a strange taste to my cup of heaven, guess I just had the wrong pots.
I'm having fun with this set! I will never again use ceramic, for my ritual cups, after using this. The temperature consistency, the rate at which it reaches temperature, and the length of time it holds the temperature, is phenomenal. With a simple warm up with tap water and then properly boiled water poured in this pot stays hot for hours. The temperature qualities also result in the smoothest tasting cup of tea as all the heat goes to the tea.
For now, though, I think she and her Mom will be frequent visitor to my tea party!"
"I love it! This tea set was my birthday gift from my hubby and young son, and it means the world! The beautiful tea set them gave is just what I want.
The price was fantastic. Interestingly, several reviewers of this website are also like me, who enjoy a pretty cup of tea. They did a great job picking this set out! Comes extremely well packed in individual boxes inside a bigger box and that box comes inside the gift box. No damage of any kind. Dishwasher safe, although I always wash my tea sets by hand to preserve the beautiful details!
I put the wrap tea set in my office, likes stopping down in the busy work. I honestly enjoy using it. Both of my bosses came over for a meeting and I serve them tea in this set and they where so impress with it!
Many thanks with my hubby and young son!"
"Lovely set. If you are looking for topnotch hand painted level of quality, you may be disappointed. It is not hand painted bone china quality, but I didn't expect that level so I am perfectly happy with it.
In general speaking, the porcelain is actually a cream color and not white. I got the green set, and love the colors on it.The decoration is mostly decals, but they seem carefully placed and not haphazard like some other cheaper teacups I've seen. The porcelain is very well quality. Not too heavy yet sturdy. I've had it for two days, and have used it twice since I got it.
The cups are the perfect size for a nice cup of tea. The pot is also a great size, filled all the way up I can fill the teacup 6-8 times. It's mostly just me who has tea, so the sizes are perfect for my use.
It's very hard to find this sort of vintage style set at this price point, so it's a great value and I really love this cute set."
"My friend told me that tasting and serving tea is a kind of art in China. She love it very much. So I bought a tea set as a gift for her birthday. When I received the package, I had to take it out of the box before I wrapped it up for her.
I was impressed by the construction, especially considering the cost. It's so pretty. This tea set by China offers good value and quality at a decent price. The teapot is elegant and practical, and the floral design has a lovely vintage charm with soft green accents on the top of the teapot. The colors are well-coordinated and the soft ivory background with gold accents adds a wonderful touch.
This is a good set for everyday usage, and the size is well-proportioned and easy to use. The glaze is even and shiny, and the gold accents are just enough to give it an old-fashioned elegance without being too flashy.
I also like the shape of the handle, which is also easy to use.
Overall, a wonderful vintage style tea set that she will favorite of it."
"I ordered this set over a month ago.It makes wonderful tea. The color of tea is beautiful. The basket inside does a good job of filtering out the small bits of tea in my loose tea, which was a problem for me when I was using a tea ball.
The pot keeps the tea warm for a considerable amount of time. I recommend pouring hot water into the pot to pre-warm it before brewing your tea. If you are using a normal mug you will probably get two mugs out of it. I use a very large mug and one pot is just a little too large for the cup.
I highly recommend this set."
"Christmas is coming, I want to buy a special gift for Grandpa. Since I saw a nice Chiness teapot in my grandpa's house, which was brought by his friend from China. So I thought maybe I could pick up some tea cups for my grandpa, so he'll complete the tea set. So I found the umiteasets website customer service staff to consulting, she was very patient to ask the teapot style and pattern.
In the customer service professional recommendation, I chose the Double Wall Ceramic Gongfu Tea Cup. After received the goods, I'm so glad that the cups and the teapot are perfect match，as the same as the staff said. Thank you so much!"
"The glass tea cup is oval shaped, the whole glass looks transparent and bright. It's suitable for makes some scented tea, which looks very exquisite. The glass has high transparency, make the tea's color more bright. Looks like it has some flowers in it , so it's also suitable for appreciation. The glass is double wall, seems it is a very large cup, in fact, is not as big as it seems, so the capacity will be smaller.
Although the glass has a bit thin that compared with the normal glass, but when I pour hot water into it, I feel comfortable in my hand instead of feel hot then. That's very nice."
"The tea set came from so far away, although a little deformation on the box, but no any damage inside. Once I open the package, I found the tea set are packed by a layer after layer with bubbles, careful wrapped. I can feel this company are well intentioned gradually and careful management. In order to prevent damage from tea set, the first is a layer of air bag, and then separated each layer by paper, for fear of breaking the glass.
The cup I bought which is type of short pier, that looking at a little cute. The cup is smooth and transparent. Glass is a little thin, but it does not affect to use. This cup is very suitable for urban beauty, make a cup of roses tea at work, it is a smart choice."
"A few months ago I bought a Ruyao tea set on Umiteaset. At that time the whole tea set included every I need to brew tea, the color was very beautiful and small tea cup looks lovely. But now I find that there are some tiny cracks in the tea cups, even the teapot has the similar crack. However, we usually use this tea set very careful. Never fell it on the ground. Why there has a crack? So I contacted the website's customer service staff to ask about this issue.
She told me that the Ruyao tea set was made of a special material. Crack is the special feature of it. Tea won't leak from the crack, tea set come with the crack originally. After long time use, the crack will become obviously. The crack on each cup will not be the same, which make the tea set more unique and ornamental.
By customer service staff professional commentary, I understand that is a normal phenomenon. I found that Chinese tea culture is really interesting."
"I saw a Chinese tea set in my friend's house.I found the Chinese tea set is very exquisite, so I decide to buy one too. My friend suggested that I choose one on this website. He said the price of site is very reasonable, and tea set is great quality.
So I have selected a tea set with a dragon pattern, and I was satisfied once i got tea set. The quality of the cup is quite high, the dragon is so clear, even better than the appearance on the website. Sure enough to listen to friend at the beginning of the recommendation is right.
When I try this tea set to brew, I pour the boiling water in it, but my finders feeling not hot, it won't burn my fingers and hands! That is amazing!! I was very curious, I chatted with the customer service staff to ask. She told me that this tea cup is a double wall cup, has better function of keeping warm and heat insulation
There are a lot of friends asked me where to buy it, I have shared the website Umiteaset to them. Such a pleasantly surprised, of course, should share it with other people."
"The tea set has arrived today, as the same in the images! The quality is very good. I have searched on the whole Internet for a looooooooooong time last week. After consideration for whoooooole day, the final decision is this ICE CRACK TEA SET. I feel quite surprised to receive it, buying such a tea set with this reasonable price is really great. This ice crack tea set is very nice, I like it very much. Customer service staff introduced to me which kind of ice crack tea set would be better. I have changed my mind through the customer's advice. and customer service staff is very careful, patient and professional. Shipped by DHL which is very fast, arrived in time with no damage. I will introduce my colleagues to purhcase teawares on this website next, customer service - five stars."
"I bought a white tea set from Umi. Tea set was in perfect condition when I have received it. The package was very tight and it has been packaed very careful. Each cup has been packaged separately. Well-packed. This kind of tea set includes a tea tray, and tea tray is made of bamboo, light and easy to use. Come with 6 cups, that is enough, so that I can invited my friends on the weekends for a leisurely afternoon tea time. The appearance of the tea set is simple, economical and high quality. As I expected, best quality with reasonable price. All my friends think it's lovely and very usefully. This is really a pleasant shopping experience on umiteasets. Thanks!"
"I've been shopping for a cast iron teapot for over 6 months. I finally decided on this one. It is so beautiful, and I made tea in it today and it was delicious. The order shipped promptly and they included a free sample ( the sample was huge!) of tea for me. I look forward to enjoying my tea for many years from this gorgeous teapot. This traditional no frills teapot makes delicious tea, a cast iron is a must have for any tea enthusiast...don't know why but brewing in the cast iron gives another subtle layer of flavor to your teas....have been a fan of Umiteasets for some time, this is the best site for all your tea needs hands down !"
"I ordered 6 items, totaling $142. Two items arrived one month later even though they charged me $22 for 6-10 day shipping! Chat lady was available while placing my order. The most expensive item was a tea tray which I paid $70 for, but they sent me a cheaper priced item which I do not like. I contacted them through their Customer Support message system three times asking about the non-received items and what to do with the wrong tea Tray. After more than 6 weeks, two more items arrive. I inquired again. NO RESPONSE. I contacted Paypal, using Paypal to send a last msg to vendor. The vendor did not respond to me but Paypal issued a credit for the difference in price of the tray, and for the missing items. Do you really want to buy from such an unreliable merchant, who do not try to remediate problems, seems to disappear when they get your money? Mind you I still have a item costing $60 that I don't like and nothing has been done to compensate me for the wrong item. Would you buy from a merchant who sends you a black dress instead of the Red dress that actually caught your eye and convinced you to part with your hard earned money? BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK. CURRENTLY IT SEEMS THAT LESS THAN 50% OF THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE SATISFIED. That is not good odds at all. Buyer beware! "
