Authentic Hand-Painted Zisha Tea Cup with Traditional Chinese Cultural Meaning

This 50ml handcrafted Zisha tea cup (also called Pinming Bei, the professional small tasting cup for Chinese Gongfu Tea) features delicate hand-painted patterns of the Four Gentlemen of Chinese culture – plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. Each pattern symbolizes timeless noble virtues: plum for resilience through hardship, orchid for humble purity, bamboo for integrity, and chrysanthemum for peaceful elegance. This cup blends practical tea enjoyment with deep traditional Chinese cultural art.

Why Choose This Hand-Painted Zisha Tea Cup?

Premium Zisha Material: Crafted from natural Yixing Zisha clay ( Duan Ni type ), this cup is naturally porous, which absorbs tea aroma over time. Regular use will develop a beautiful glossy patina, making your cup uniquely yours and enhancing the flavor of every brew.
Handmade Artisan Craft: Every pattern is hand-painted by skilled craftspeople, giving each cup subtle unique details that mass-produced cups can not match. The warm natural clay tone pairs perfectly with soft painted details for a timeless elegant look.
Perfect Tasting Size: At 50ml (1.7 fl oz) capacity, this small cup is designed to let you fully appreciate the aroma and flavor of any tea type, from oolong to green, black, and pu-erh.

Caring for Your Zisha Tea Cup
