Collection: Fair Cup

Fair Cup: The Equitable Ambassador on the Tea Table, A Artwork that Gathers Aroma

In the world of tea tasting, which emphasizes ritual and flavor, the Fair Cup (also known as Cha Hai or Even Cup) is not merely a tool, but a key element in ensuring every cup of tea is perfect. It acts as a gentle bridge between the teapot and the teacups, carrying the essence of the tea and distributing every bit of care during the tea tasting experience equally.

Why Do You Need a Fair Cup?

·         Even Tea Distribution, Fair Sharing:
This is the core value of the Fair Cup. It fully blends tea liquor of varying concentration from the pot before pouring it into each cup, ensuring that the concentration, temperature, and color of the tea liquor in every guest's cup is perfectly consistent. It embodies the spirit of "fairness," allowing for sharing without reservation.

·         Precipitate Tea Residue, Purify the Liquor:
When pouring out the tea, fine tea leaves residue (tea dust) will settle at the bottom of the Fair Cup. Further filtration through a strainer ensures the tea poured into the cups is clear, bright, pure, and free of impurities, greatly enhancing the visual and gustatory enjoyment.

·         Control Strength, Savor Leisurely:
Pouring the brewed tea from the pot into the Fairness Cup stops the tea leaves from continuing to steep immediately, preventing the tea from becoming bitter due to over-infusion. You can savor the tea in your cup at a leisurely pace without worrying about the leaves in the pot over-releasing their substances.

·         Gather Aroma, Appreciate Color:
The broad body of the cup allows the tea aroma to gather more effectively. Before serving the tea, you can gently smell the evolving layers of the tea's hot aroma, warm aroma, and cool aroma within the Fair Cup. Meanwhile, the clear tea liquor, held within the translucent Fair Cup, displays its beautiful color in full view, offering a visual feast.

How to Use and Care for It?

1.      Warm the Cup: Rinse it with hot water before use. This not only cleans the vessel but also helps maintain the temperature of the tea liquor.

2.      Receive the Tea Liquor: Pour all the brewed tea through a strainer into the Fairness Cup.

3.      Serve and Drink: Pour evenly into each teacup in sequence.

4.      Cleaning: Rinse promptly with clean water after use and dry it. Keep it clean and ventilated to avoid odor retention.

Infuse Your Tea Table with Composure and Fairness

A good Fair Cup makes the tea tasting process more composed and the intention of sharing more pure. It is not just a step in brewing tea; it is a sign of respect for the tea itself and consideration for your guests.
