The Master Cup Collection

One Form, Infinite Expressions.

The Anchor of Your Ritual. In the world of Gongfu Cha, the Master Cup (Zhubei) is the most intimate object on the tea tray. It is the vessel that touches your lips; it is the lens through which you experience the tea. While the guest cups on a tray may be uniform, the Master Cup is a singular expression of the host's personality.

We believe a tea drinker should not be limited to one aesthetic. Choose a cup that mirrors the season, the tea you are brewing, or the mindset you wish to cultivate.

The Engineered Silhouette

Every cup in this collection — whether it is the atmospheric Elemental series, the vibrant Pomegranate, or our limited Artisan Collaborations — shares the same foundational architecture.

  • The Shape: Engineered for aromatics. The slightly taller profile concentrates the fragrance of Oolong and Pu’er before the liquor reaches the palate.
  • The Lip: Tapered thin to allow the tea to flow smoothly onto the tongue, enhancing texture and mouthfeel.
  • The Interior: Always finished with a high-clarity, pale glaze to ensure you can judge the true color of your infusion.

A Shared Canvas for Clay & Fire

While the form of our Master Cup remains constant to ensure the perfect sip, the exterior is a playground for artistic technique. We view this silhouette not merely as a product, but as a global canvas. This collection is a living gallery — an open invitation to explore everything from atmospheric sprays to wood-fired reductions. We actively invite ceramicists and artists from around the world to collaborate with us, applying their unique vision to our engineered form. Together, we are co-creating the next generation of vessels for the tea community.
