A glazed porcelain tasting cup in one of five glazes, each matched to one of the Five Elements: green for wood, red for fire, yellow for earth, white for metal, black for water. About 60 ml — the size used for gongfu-style tea.
A 60 ml tasting cup is the standard vessel in gongfu tea service — small enough that the tea is drunk within a minute of pouring, which is the point: you refill and taste each infusion separately rather than steeping one large pot.
These five glazes correspond to the Five Elements (wu xing), the scheme that classifies everything from seasons to organs into wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Buy one or buy the set. Glazed porcelain, lead-free and food-safe.
