“The One Concept Store”, located in Taipei’s most prosperous district Zhongshan, sells items for daily life, such as furnishings, tableware, stationery – and also tea sets. The range of products displayed translates oriental philosophical thinking of “One is All” into quality goods with focus on simplicity and aestectics.

Context of the observation
Location
The One, No. 30, Section 2, Zhōngshān North Road, Jhongshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan 104
1 Interpretation
Tea sets sold at “The One” consist of a tea pot (incl. pot warmer), tea cups and saucer only.
Crucial parts of equipment used during a traditional Taiwanese tea ceremony are not part of the package.
These sets rather serve a “tea ceremony” British style or elsewhere in the world having a cup of tea with a friend.
Whereas there is a demand of good quality tea equipment for an older generation (compare item #3) there seems to be a not (yet) big enough request from a younger user group interested in contemporary designs.
2 Questions & 0 Responses
How can products convince the younger generation to conduct the traditional tea ceremony?
What is the reason for no complete piece tea set needed for “Cha Dao” being part of the product line of “The One”?
