Phoenix Spark Tasting Teacup 30ml

The Phoenix Spark Tasting Teacup 30ml captures the fleeting beauty of fire at its most luminous moment. Inspired by glowing embers igniting against a darkening sky, this handcrafted porcelain tasting cup transforms the energy of flame into a vessel designed for quiet appreciation and focused tea drinking.

Finished in a vibrant, multi-layered glaze, the surface shifts between warm amber, burnished gold, and deep crimson tones depending on the light. Dynamic yet refined, it brings warmth, movement, and visual depth to every gongfu tea session.

The Inspiration: Fire, Light & the Ember

Fire has long been one of nature's most captivating elements—radiant, transformative, and ever-changing. The Phoenix Spark glaze draws inspiration from the moment an ember catches, illuminating the horizon with layers of molten gold, copper, and crimson.

Each vessel reflects that brief but powerful transition, preserving the energy of fire within a durable porcelain form designed for daily use.

Part of the Elemental Teacup Collection

The Phoenix Spark Tasting Teacup belongs to the Elemental Teacup Collection, a series of small-batch porcelain vessels designed around three principles: balance, heat, and touch.

Each cup is shaped to rest naturally in the hand, allowing temperature, glaze texture, and weight to reveal themselves gradually through use. The result is a tactile tea experience that deepens with every session.

High-Fired Porcelain Construction
Crafted from fine high-fired porcelain, the cup combines durability with a refined drinking experience. The material remains neutral, allowing the character of the tea to remain clear and unaltered.

Designed for Gongfu Tea Appreciation

At 30ml, this traditional Pinmingbei (tasting cup) is purpose-built for the intentional pace of gongfu cha. The smaller capacity encourages slower drinking, allowing tea lovers to appreciate aroma, texture, liquor color, and evolving flavor across multiple infusions.

Its balanced proportions warm comfortably in the hand while maintaining an elegant and deliberate presence on the tea table.

Best Paired With

• Aged pu-erh and roasted oolong teas with earthy depth and warmth
• Rock oolongs (Wuyi Yancha) with mineral and charcoal notes
• Black teas with malty, honeyed, or caramelized profiles
• The Phoenix Spark Gaiwan and Phoenix Spark Chinese Wedding Tea Set for a cohesive tea ritual

A Unique Kiln Expression

Subtle variation in glaze depth, surface movement, and color transition is a natural result of the small-batch firing process. These differences are celebrated as part of the craftsmanship, making every cup slightly different while remaining intentionally consistent in character.
