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.
