Kung fu brewing is a sequence of very short infusions from a small pot, each one poured out completely and drunk in a mouthful or two — so the cup has to be small or the method does not work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is also why a cup like this reveals a tea that a mug hides. Each infusion of a good oolong or pu'er tastes different from the last, and drinking 200 ml at a time averages all of them into one flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain glazed ceramic with no decoration, which is the convention: the tea's colour in the cup is meant to be visible, and a pattern competes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeliberately small:\u003c\/strong\u003e the kung fu method needs it\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMany short infusions:\u003c\/strong\u003e each one tastes different from the last\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReveals what a mug averages:\u003c\/strong\u003e the argument for a small cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlain glaze:\u003c\/strong\u003e so the tea's colour shows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic:\u003c\/strong\u003e holds heat through a short pour\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand wash:\u003c\/strong\u003e to protect the glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne cup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlazed ceramic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKung fu tea, short infusions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand wash recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy shop Maison's Kitchen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e to Canada and the United States, with no minimum order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30-day returns\u003c\/strong\u003e — send it back for a full refund.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTracked\u003c\/strong\u003e — every order ships with a tracking link.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Maison's Kitchen","offers":[{"title":"Set","offer_id":67748550738135,"sku":"EV4ZOMO","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/8308\/4503\/files\/4115d381409eac269951c26e5f72.png?v=1791846901","url":"https:\/\/maisonskitchen.com\/products\/ceramic-artisan-tea-cup","provider":"Maison's Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
