Tasting Cup
It is designed specifically for sipping tea. It is small and delicate, with a thin rim and smooth curves, allowing the tea liquor to fully interact with the taste buds. Its compact size helps concentrate the tea’s aroma and color.
Aroma Cup
It is a slender, narrow vessel used in tea ceremonies to appreciate the fragrance of tea. After pouring tea into the aroma cup, it is covered with the tasting cup and inverted. The design traps the tea’s aroma, allowing one to gently inhale the complex scents—floral, fruity, roasted, or aged notes—before drinking. This step enriches the sensory experience of tea appreciation.

Tea Strainer
It also known as a tea filter or tea sieve, is an essential accessory in tea preparation. It removes loose tea leaves and residue from the brewed liquor, ensuring a smooth, clear infusion. Placed over the mouth of a sharing pitcher (公道杯) or teacup. The mesh density can be adjusted based on the tea type. By enhancing both practicality and aesthetics, the tea strainer is a vital tool in modern and traditional tea settings.
Though small, the tea strainer embodies the Eastern philosophy of "refining by removing impurities." It reflects the tea ceremony's pursuit of purity (净) and tranquility (静), symbolizing a mindful state free from distractions. It merges functionality with spiritual simplicity.
Fairness Cup
It also known as a "tea sea" or "sharing pitcher," is a central piece in tea ceremonies. It holds and evenly distributes brewed tea liquor, ensuring consistent flavor by balancing infusion strength. It also allows tea residue to settle and moderates the tea’s temperature. Designed with a wide mouth and handle for easy pouring, common materials include glass, ceramic, and purple clay (Zisha). Transparent glass versions showcase the tea’s color, enhancing visual enjoyment.
The name "Fairness Cup" (公道杯) reflects the principle of equity, symbolizing equality among tea drinkers. It embodies the essence of Chinese tea culture—harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility (和敬清寂). By ensuring every cup is equal, it transcends functionality to represent ritual etiquette and philosophical depth.

Natural Heavy Bamboo & Solid Wood Tea Tray
The tea tray is crafted from natural heavy bamboo (high-density bamboo), processed through high-temperature and high-pressure technology. Its density far exceeds that of ordinary bamboo, combining the warmth of wood with the eco-friendly properties of bamboo, ensuring crack resistance and durability. The frame is made of premium solid wood (e.g., walnut, rosewood), hand-polished to reveal natural grain and a smooth finish. The fusion of bamboo and wood harmonizes modern aesthetics with traditional charm, embodying the essence of Oriental tea culture.
Heavy bamboo is sourced from renewable bamboo forests, reducing carbon footprint. Solid wood frames utilize FSC-certified timber, reflecting a commitment to ecological balance.
