Differed ways to consume tea resulted in different ways of using tea wares. Compared to the typical way of tea drinking in the late-Ming period, the process of tea-tasting in the Tang and Song dynasties were much more complicated. The complication implied that tea connoisseurs in the Ming era had drastically simplified the tea vessels they often used, as well as the whole procedure of tea tasting.

Furthermore, some inscriptions on these tea instruments also have indicated the name of the emperor who donated them.
