The Emerald Tasting Teacup 30ml

The Emerald Tasting Teacup 30ml is part of the Elemental Teacup Collection, a series of small-batch porcelain vessels designed around balance, heat, and touch. Crafted to rest lightly between the fingers, this traditional Pinmingbei invites a slower appreciation of tea, allowing warmth, glaze, texture, and aroma to unfold gradually with every sip.

Fired at high temperatures and finished with expressive emerald glazes, this tasting cup is equally suited to focused gongfu cha sessions and quiet, unhurried daily rituals. It pairs naturally with the Emerald Master Teacup, creating a cohesive tea table inspired by the fluid beauty of moving water.

Part of the Elemental Teacup Collection

The Elemental Teacup Collection explores the relationship between hand, clay, and tea. Each vessel is shaped to feel balanced and comfortable, encouraging a deeper sensory connection during tea appreciation.

At 30ml, this tasting cup is designed specifically for gongfu tea brewing, where multiple short infusions allow the evolving character of the tea to be experienced in full.

Two Glazes. One Spirit.

Inspired by the natural chemistry of deep green glazes and the movement of water, The Emerald Tasting Teacup is available in two distinct finishes. Each glaze expresses a different mood while remaining connected through a shared visual language.

Emerald Current
A flowing emerald glaze with visible movement, echoing water in steady, active motion. This finish brings a dynamic and energetic presence to the tea table, ideal for sessions focused on clarity, momentum, and concentration.

Emerald Drift
Layered emerald hues shift gently across the surface, creating visual depth without harsh contrast. More contemplative and introspective, this variation encourages a slower pace and a deeper engagement with the tea.

A Unique Kiln Transformation

Whichever glaze you choose, subtle variation in surface movement, tone, and glaze depth is a celebrated part of the high-temperature firing process. These natural differences make every piece slightly unique while preserving the consistency of the collection.

Each tasting cup carries its own individual expression of porcelain, glaze, and fire.

Designed for Gongfu Tea Appreciation

The 30ml capacity is purpose-built for traditional gongfu tea tasting. The smaller volume encourages focused drinking, allowing tea lovers to appreciate aroma, mouthfeel, liquor color, and aftertaste across multiple infusions.

Whether paired with an Emerald Gaiwan, an Emerald Master Teacup, or used as part of a personal collection, this vessel brings calm, balance, and craftsmanship to every tea session.
