What Is A Chinese Tea Cup Called?
A Chinese tea cup is called a chá bēi (茶杯), which literally translates to “tea cup” in English. These cups can come in various sizes and shapes, depending on the type of tea being served and the preferences of the drinker. Some popular styles of Chinese tea cups include the gaiwan, a lidded cup that is used for steeping and sipping tea, and the zhong, a small, handleless cup that is often used for Gongfu-style tea ceremonies.
