Tea cups, tea pets, and small tea decor shape the mood around pouring and drinking. Some pieces are made for quiet gongfu-style sessions; others are meant for a desk, shelf, altar corner, or a simple evening cup.
The Pace of the Cup
Small cups invite slower tasting and repeated pours. Larger cups suit daily comfort. Tea pets and symbolic accents can give a tray personality, but the best tea space still leaves room for the cup, the hand, and the pause between pours.
