10 Best Tea Sets That You Can Buy in 2021!

1. Japanese Cast Iron Tea Set - Best Overall

If you’re looking for a tea set that’ll not only provide you a great tea experience but amazing aesthetics as well, then this is the perfect choice for you. This tea set offers kind of a Japanese vibe to its design. The designs on the body of this tea set look pretty amazing. 

This teapot is made of cast iron. It’s designed like a tank, and it’s very durable. There’s almost zero chance that this might break from fall damage unless you throw it off a cliff. Even then, it’s very light, and we loved that about it. 

As it’s made of iron, you get another benefit from it. If you’re looking for a teapot that you can heat directly, then this is your best choice. You won’t be able to do this with porcelain or ceramic teapots. 

You’ll get a medium-sized iron teapot, a trivet, four teacups, and a removable infuser. This tea set helps you retain the warmth and the flavor of the tea. Overall, it’s one of the best tea sets that you can find out there. 

However, it must be mentioned that this tea set isn’t made for everyone. If you’re a fan of vintage arts or Japanese arts, then you’ll love this tea set. However, if you’re looking for something more modern or Victorian, then this isn’t your cup of tea, literally.

2. ZENS Ceramic Tea Set - Runner-Up

If you’re looking for a modern tea set with a simplistic design and amazing features, then this is the right tea set for you. The ZENS ceramic tea set is like the Apple of tea sets. You’ll know once you get to know its features. 

This entire tea set is made of China ceramic. This is an amazing material as it doesn’t get warm when you pour tea into the container. The teacups are completely round and they’re quite wide as well. You can’t but praise their amazing design, which makes them unique and easy to use at the same time. 

The teapot of this amazing tea set comes with a handle made of natural bentwood. Unlike many other teapots that we’ve tested, this one’s handle doesn’t swivel around freely, which helps pour tea properly. 

The packaging of this product was amazing as well. Every little element that you’ll need is packed so properly that it won’t get damaged no matter what. The side screws that hold the handle in place can be removed. If you remove it before washing the teapot, then you won’t end up accidentally damaging the screws. 

The design of the entire tea set is amazing. It’s white, and it isn’t designed with any detail over it. It’s round and it’s plain white, like an egg. Due to its amazing design, this tea set fits in almost every type of environment, especially if it’s a modern or Zen influenced environment.

3. Hinomaru Porcelain Tea Set

If you’re a fan of the combination of black and gold, then perhaps this is the best choice for you. The Hinomaru tea set is made of porcelain, which is why you wouldn’t be able to heat this directly. 

The Hinomaru tea set offers a marble design on the porcelain build. The handle of the teapot is colored golden to match the details on the pot itself, and we must say that it complements the overall aesthetics of the teapot. 

The handle is made of bamboo, which makes it quite suitable for the teapot. As it’s made of bamboo, you’ll be able to hold this and use this easily. The handle won’t heat no matter how warm the tea or coffee is. 

The teapot and cups also do a great job at retaining the basic flavor of the tea. Even if you keep the tea inside the teapot for a considerable amount of time, you’ll find that the warmth is still there, and the flavor is still fresh. With this tea set, you’ll be able to enjoy a refreshing cup of tea easily. 

The cups do have a good design for them. The cups have the same black and golden design as the teapot, and there’s a golden rim on the opening of the cup. There’s no handle for holding these cups, and they look more like mugs. 

Even without handles, you’ll be able to hold these cups easily, as they won’t become warm along with the tea itself. Both the teacups and the teapot offer wide openings through which you’ll be able to pour tea safely without spilling them. 

Overall, this is one of the best tea sets that you can find out there.

4. Porcelain Ceramic Tea Set

If you’re looking for a ceramic coffee tea set, then this one from CHP is one of the best choices for you. You’ll get one teapot, one creamer, one sugar bowl, six teacups, six teaspoons, and six saucers in this package, and you’ll get all of these for a damn reasonable price. 

If you require a lot of containers and utensils, and if you expect to get all of them from a single tea set, then this is the right one for you. What actually surprised us is the actual quality of all the items provided by this tea set is very high. 

We expected to get some lower quality stuff, as it offers more than you’re paying for. So, once we found that the quality is unparalleled, we were caught off guard. All of the items in this set are made of Bone China Porcelain, and all of them are lead-free. This makes these especially healthy as they don’t contain lead, which is harmful to our health.

The items provided in this set look pretty good. However, if you want to decorate these more beautifully, then you can get a gold hanger for keeping these. The gold hanger is sold by them, but you’ll need to buy that separately. 

The holder is quite user-friendly. You’ll be able to store all of your items by hanging them on the holder, or by keeping them under the holder. 

The cups and pots have a white background with floral prints on them. The rim of these is colored gold, which gives off a premium feel out them. However, this also means that putting these in a microwave oven is a pretty bad idea. 

Overall, these are pretty good in terms of quality and aesthetics, and you’ll be able to taste a fresh cup of tea every morning with these!

5. Seb’s Kitchen Tea Set

If you’re looking for a tea set with a Japanese design, then this one from Seb’s kitchen is also a very good option for you. The most astonishing part of this product is that all the items that you’re going to get from it are handcrafted. By buying these, you’re not only getting durable and reliable products, but you’re also supporting the locals who’re making this. 

The design and overall outlook of this tea set are extremely pleasing. You’ll get black teapots and black teacups. What’s amazing is that all the items are designed with pink and white cherry blossoms. The designs can be found both on the interior and the exterior of the tea set, which makes it look amazing. Through this, you can understand how well detailed and meticulously crafted this is. 

You’ll get two teacups, one teapot, and a stainless steel filter with this package. We understand that this isn’t much and let me remind you that this product isn’t for you if you’re looking for a lot of items. Rather, if you’re looking for a tea set that’s more appropriate for two, then you should go for it. 

The sakura design is really placating, and we loved the black shine on the utensils. The teapot can hold up to 500ml of tea, and the teacups can hold up to 180ml of tea each. As you’ll get two cups only, it’s safe to say that you can serve almost three cups of tea at a time. 

The packaging of this product is very nice. In fact, it’s one of the best packaging that we’ve come across. The rectangular box is colored black, and it has a white logo on top of it. The items are packed in such a way that they won’t get damaged no matter how you carry them.

6. Hoobar Chinese Kungfu Tea Set

Now, this one’s quite interesting. The Hoobar Chinese Kungfu tea set is just a fancy name for a portable tea set. Yes, it’s a tea set that you can carry with you, and trust me, we’ve never seen a tea set that can be carried so effortlessly. 

You can get this tea set in either black or white. You’ll get one teapot and four round teacups with it. The design of the teacups reminds us of the Zen teacups that we’ve seen in the second product. However, the teapot is quite different looking. 

You won’t find any handle on the teacups. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s tough to hold, as the material of the teacups doesn’t become warm with the temperature of the tea inside them. With this package, you’ll get four teacups, one teapot, one tea tray, one tea mat, one tea clip, and a travel bag that can hold all of these together. 

Overall, this tea set is simply amazing. The teapot comes with some perforations on the top that’ll allow the vapor to pass through. This will provide a good aroma around the teapot if you keep warm tea in them. You’ll be able to enjoy refreshing and flavorful tea with it.

7. YALONG Rose Tea Set

If you’re looking for a tea set with amazing floral designs, then you need to go for this tea set from Yalong. All the items provided in this tea set comes with designs of rose, and they look amazing. 

The color of these cups and pots are off-white. We personally love this color, and there are several reasons for that. First off, off-white color doesn’t tend to stick out like some other colors, which is why this is one of the best colors for you if you’re looking for something that can blend in with the other utensils. 

Then again, the off-white color doesn’t become dirty like white. White color tends to get stained and dirty very easily, and you’ll be able to avoid that with this rose tea set. 

The teapot can hold up to 17 ounces of tea, while the sugar bowl can hold up to 8.5 ounces of sugar. Each of the teacups provided by this set has a capacity of 6.8 ounces, and you’ll get about six cups with this. You’ll also get 5.5-inch saucers, which is definitely a great addition. 

However, it’s strictly instructed that these items aren’t for dishwasher or microwave. So, if you put them in the dishwasher or microwave, there’s a huge chance that you’re going to end up damaging them. We do agree that we’d love it even more if it were dishwasher free, as it would reduce the time and effort necessary to wash these cups and pots. 

Overall, we think that it’s an amazing product, and given the price you’re going to pay for it, it’s an absolute steal.

8. BTäT Tea Set

If you’re looking for a beautiful tea set with floral designs, then you can go for this one. From this package, you’ll get four teacups, one teapot, a sugar holder, and a creamer. All of these are made of porcelain, and this product is from Brew to a Tea Store, which has gained immense popularity recently. 

The capacity of the teapot is 48 fl. Oz.  It means that you can store a considerable amount of tea in it. Then again, the teacups are beautifully designed. All of the teacups can hold a considerable amount of tea in them, which is also a good thing. 

The teacups and pots come in a beautiful blue dream design. The set itself is white, and all of the items come with blue floral designs. The blue floral designs make the teacups look amazing. 

Due to the amazing shape and build quality of this, the company declares that you’ll be able to get amazing tea quality out of this set. These were built to give you the refreshing and warm tea experience that your heart craves for. The teapot comes with enough space to let the aroma escape, but it’s also tight enough so that the heat is retained.

9. Butterfly Tea Set

If you’re looking for a tea set that you can carry everywhere, then this is a good choice for you. The Butterfly tea set comes with all the things that you’re going to need for a picnic. You get four teacups, four handkerchiefs, four saucers, a sugar bowl with a lid, a creamer, a teapot, four spoons, a medium-sized tablecloth, and a basket that can hold every one of these at once. 

You’ll be getting 23 items from this package in total, which is quite impressive, especially given its price. We never expected so many things on such a small budget, and we’re quite happy with what we’re getting. 

Each of the teacups is 1.25 inches tall, and they can hold an adequate amount of tea. The size and overall build quality of this set make it suitable for children. 

If you’re looking for a tea set for your children, then we highly recommend this. Not only the design, but the build quality too makes it suitable for children.

10. Turkish Tea Set

If you’re looking for a set of teacups that’s completely aesthetic and vintage, then you can go for this tea set. The Turkish tea set from Bosphorus isn’t a complete tea set, and you’ll only get teacups and some other accessories from it. It won’t provide you with any teapots, which is a shame. Even then, this is an amazing choice for everyone looking for a vintage classic tea set. 

The Turkish tea set is inspired by vintage arts that came from the Constantinople era. You’ll be getting six decorated teacups, six glass holders, six saucers, and six spoons from this package. The aesthetics of this teacup set might not appeal to everyone, but if it does appeal to you, then you can get it without a second thought. 

We do agree that it’s a major drawback that you aren’t getting a teapot with this package. However, the teacups and the other accessories provided are of top quality. We really love the way this looks, and the decorations and designs are just top-notch.

All the cups are designed with pearls, crystals, and gold. The container itself is made of glass, and these are details that you’ll find over the glass. However, the capacity of these isn’t much. Each of these teacups can hold up to 100ml of tea. 

This allows us to conclude that these teacups aren’t for you if you’re looking for teacups that’ll allow you to drink a lot of tea at a time. Instead, these are for serving tea to the guests, or these can also be used if you prefer taking only a bit of tea at a time. 

Then again, 100ml of tea is no joke, but we know a lot of people who’d drink more. So, it depends on your preferences whether this tea set is perfect for you or not. 

There’s another reason why we’re a bit doubtful about this tea set. The spoons provided with the tea set aren’t consistent. You might not get the same set of spoons from two different packages. This is because these spoons are sourced from another company, and they aren’t in stock always. 

This is why each packaging may get a different set of spoons. However, it’s still a relief that you won’t get a different set of spoons from the same packaging. That would’ve been very weird, as they can vary in design, size, and even color!
