The cup is held in both hands around the body, which tells you the tea's temperature before you drink it — a Japanese tea served too hot is a fault, and the cup is the instrument that tells you so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also taller than it is wide, which concentrates the aroma toward the rim rather than letting it disperse the way an open bowl does.
