This set of 6 double-wall glass Chinese tea cups (chá bēi, 茶杯) is built for gongfu tea tasting. Two layers of glass with a sealed air gap keep the outside cool to the touch even when the tea inside is hot — easy to hold with both hands, the traditional way to drink Chinese tea.
Glass also lets you see the color of your tea, which is why it's favored for lighter teas like green, white, and delicate oolong, where color is part of the tasting experience. Non-porous and won't hold onto flavor between uses.

FAQ
