Context of the observation
Location
239, Taiwan, New Taipei City, Yingge District
1 Interpretation
Whereas the price range and therefore quality of tea pots sold in Yingge’s ceramics street is diverse, tea tools (needle, tong, funnel, spoon) are cheap products primarily imported from China. The most important item used in a tea ceremony is the tea pot, the equipment is rarely seen as a whole, in terms of being a set.

What are decision criteria for customers to choose tea equipment? Does the origin of a product matter?
Would it be reasonable to offer a service to manufacture tea equipment according to the particular taste of customers. Any thoughts on ways of realisability?
