Discover Authentic Chinese Gongfu Tea Culture With This Handmade Chinese Tea Cup

Crafted for true tea lovers, this hand-decorated porcelain Chinese tea cup brings centuries of traditional Chinese ceramic art and tea culture to your daily brewing routine. Designed specifically for gongfu (kung fu) tea service, it lets you fully appreciate the aroma, flavor and warmth of every steep.

Traditional Craftsmanship & Unique Design of This Chinese Tea Cup

• Premium Porcelain Material: Fired from high-quality kaolin clay, this ceramic cup offers excellent heat retention to keep your tea at the ideal drinking temperature, with a smooth, non-porous surface that won’t interfere with tea flavor.
• Natural Crackle Glaze (Select Styles): Many styles feature a natural crackle (kaiping) texture, a beloved traditional ceramic effect. As you use your cup over time, tea will gradually seep into the fine cracks, creating a one-of-a-kind patina that carries the mark of your personal tea journey.
• Hand-Painted Lotus Nature Motif: Each cup is hand-decorated with delicate, vivid illustrations of lotus, lotus seed pods, and small insects, accented with a traditional red artist seal, echoing the elegant aesthetic of classical Chinese painting. No two cups are exactly alike, making yours truly unique.
• Soft Neutral Palette: A soft pale off-white (ru yao style moon-white) base is paired with warm earthy brown trim along the rim and base, creating a calm, harmonious look that fits any tea space.

Multiple Sizes & Shapes For Every Preference

We offer 7 distinct styles with capacities ranging from 40ml (1.35oz) up to 125ml (4.23oz) to match your favorite tea type and drinking habit:

• Small 40-70ml (1.35-2.37oz) cups: Perfect for traditional gongfu tea service, ideal for sipping oolong, pu’er, or any tea you steep multiple times
• Larger 90-125ml (3.04-4.23oz) cups: Great for daily casual drinking, black tea, green tea, or anyone who prefers a bit more tea per sip

Cultural Meaning of The Lotus Design

In Chinese culture, the lotus is one of the most beloved symbolic flowers. It represents purity, harmony, prosperity, and growth—growing beautifully from muddy water to bloom into an elegant flower. Bringing this meaning to your tea practice helps cultivate a calm, peaceful state of mind with every cup.
