As an important carrier of tea drinking culture, the shape, material, craft and function of the teacup, a seemingly ordinary item with deep meaning, all show unique charm and value.
First of all, the materials of tea cups are various, common ceramic, glass, stainless steel and so on. Each material has its own unique characteristics. Ceramic teacups are favored for their exquisite craftsmanship and unique texture, which can effectively keep warm without affecting the original taste of tea. The glass tea cup, with its transparent characteristics, can let people appreciate the color change of the tea soup, adding to the fun of drinking tea. Stainless steel teacups have the advantages of fashion and durability, suitable for various occasions.
The shape of the teacup is also colorful. Traditional teacups are usually round, and the lower mouth can provide better room for the aroma of the tea. The modern design of the teacup is more rich, may have a variety of irregular contours, and may even add some artistic elements,so that it is not only a drinking tool,but also a visual enjoyment. The design of the bottom of the cup is also exquisite,and some designers add subtle grooves or reliefs to the bottom of the cup to increase the friction with the desktop and avoid easy sliding.
In the process of drinking tea, the cup is not only the instrument to hold tea, but also the sustenance of the soul. Lift the cup,the warm touch and quiet breath will naturally come to my mind. Whether drinking alone or sitting around with a group of friends,teacups carry a good time with tea. The tea is rolling in the cup,and the light touch between lips and teeth seems to temporarily put aside the daily troubles,and the inner peace is in sharp contrast to the noise of the world.
In addition, the spirit of etiquette and sharing when drinking tea is also reflected in the teacup. Offering tea to others and sharing a warm drink is a sign of friendship and respect.
