Looking for this guide.
As early as the seventh century, the practice of drinking tea became an important part of elite culture in Korea. In enjoying teas, elites commissioned a variety of types of utensils and vessels including this delicate-looking cup stand, not only to make their tea-drinking experience more exciting, but also to show their refined taste. According to a historical record, the cultivation of tea in Korea was initiated with green tea plant seeds from China by royal order in 828.
