Tea Cups
Small cups for gongfu tea, from 35 to 170 ml: white and decorated porcelain, crackle-glazed Ru Yao, ceramic with flow and shino glazes, and unglazed Yixing clay (Shui Ni, Zi Ni). Porcelain shows the colour of the infusion and keeps the taste clean; clay cups soften it slightly. For tasting there is also an aroma cup pair — a tall cup to smell the tea and a small one to drink from.
