Troubleshooting

Tea is not brewing evenly.

Ensure tea leaves or bag are properly submerged in hot water within the teapot. Allow sufficient steeping time as per tea type.

Staining on the fine china.

For minor stains, use a paste of baking soda and water, gently rubbing the affected area. For stubborn stains, a specialized tea stain remover or brief soaking in a diluted bleach solution may be considered, followed by thorough rinsing.

Mug or teapot feels too small.

This set is designed for individual servings. For larger amounts, consider a traditional teapot and separate mugs.

Chipped or cracked fine china.
