A very cool and classic set of cups. These are very suitable to use with darker oolongs such as Wu Yi Rou Gai, Da Hong Pao, etc.
They are of good quality and hold about five ounces each, which is fairly large for a Chinese tea cup. That's fine with me; I have plenty of smaller ones, and sometimes I prefer a larger cup. These serve that purpose very well.
The porcelain-lined interior allows drinking various teas from the same cup without them interfering with each other as would happen with an unlined clay cup.
Besides all the positive points, I couldn't resist the dragon-fish theme on the sides of the cups! |
