Damei Clay Chabei Cup Red 180 ml

A Chabei cup (茶杯) is a special cup used during the tea ceremony. It has a fairly simple shape and can be made of a variety of materials, including ceramic, porcelain, or clay. The main characteristics of a Chabei cup: 1. Size and shape: A Chabei cup is small in size, usually holding about 150 ml of liquid. The shape of the cup can be round, oval, or bowl-shaped. 2. Color and patterns: Chabei cups can come in a variety of colors and patterns, but neutral shades are often used to highlight the beauty of the tea itself. 3. Texture: One of the attractive features of Chabei cups is their texture. They can be smooth and shiny, or they can have a rough surface, which gives a sense of natural beauty and simplicity. 4. Traditionality: Chabei cups often have small imperfections such as bubbles, chips, or unevenness, which are called "varigata" - "variable". This makes them more unique and emphasizes the importance of individuality and simplicity in Japanese culture. Using a Chabei cup during a tea ceremony helps create an atmosphere of calm and privacy, and allows you to enjoy the taste and aroma of tea. This is an important part of the tea tradition and respect for the process of making and drinking tea.
