In China people drink from small teacups like these. People even drink hot tea in the summer. This habit is based on a theory from Chinese medicine that if you drink hot things in the summer you will sweat and your body will cool itself off. Many people know about Chinese green tea, but there are many other types of tea as well. Tea in small cups like these is much stronger than the tea we drink in the west. The cups are two inches tall and three inches wide, the teapot is 6 inches tall and five inches wide, and the tray is twelve inches wide. This beautiful tea set is made from china, in China.
