What is a Master Cup — and what does your choice say about you?
The Zhuren Bei (主人杯), or Master Cup, is the personal drinking
cup of the tea host in Chinese Gongfu tea culture. Smaller and
more intimate than a standard teacup, it is held with both hands,
brought slowly to the lips, and savored — never rushed. In a
ceremony where every gesture is deliberate, the Master Cup is
the most personal object on the table. Tea lovers often collect
many over a lifetime, choosing each one for its feel, its glaze,
its quiet presence in the hand.
Choosing a Master Cup is not just a purchase — it is a small
statement about how you want to experience your daily life.
