The plum blooms defiantly in the bitter cold of winter. The orchid thrives in quiet solitude, untouched by the world's noise. The bamboo bends but never breaks, standing tall through every storm. The chrysanthemum blossoms brightly as autumn fades into winter's chill. For centuries, these four plants have represented the ideal character of a noble person: \u003cstrong\u003epride, elegance, strength, and perseverance\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow, you can hold this philosophy in the palm of your hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrosted Glass Teacup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in this collection is meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans, featuring one of the Four Gentlemen.

This is not ordinary soda-lime glass. This is the same material used in scientific laboratories for its exceptional durability and thermal stability. Many glass teacups on the market claim to be \"heat-resistant\" yet still crack within weeks or months of use — often due to microscopic flaws in the glass structure or poor-quality manufacturing. Our borosilicate glass undergoes strict quality control to ensure consistent performance, giving you peace of mind with every pour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasuring \u003cstrong\u003e6.3 cm × 6.2 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e with a capacity of \u003cstrong\u003e85 ml (approximately 2.9 oz)\u003c\/strong\u003e , this Frosted Glass Teacup is designed specifically for Gongfu-style tea tasting. The 85 ml capacity is intentional, not an oversight. In traditional Chinese Gongfu tea ceremony, small cups are essential — they allow you to finish each short steep while the tea is still at its optimal temperature, preserving the delicate aroma and flavor notes that would be lost in a larger mug. If you're accustomed to large Western coffee mugs, this will feel small at first. But give it a chance. Many tea drinkers find that smaller cups actually enhance their appreciation of the tea, forcing them to slow down and savor each sip mindfully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe frosted finish is not just visually stunning — it also provides a secure, non-slip grip that feels comfortable and balanced in your hand. The matte texture naturally conceals minor fingerprints and water spots, keeping your cup looking pristine even after repeated use.
