Jianyang Jianzhan Tea Cups

I have been looking at these cups from Teavivre, Teaware.house, and a couple of other places. They are a little expensive. Those of you who own some, are they really worth it?

This cup is perfect for kung fu tea, But, I think they are a bit expensive, you may try to buy it elsewhere. I have found other cheaper cups, and the cup style is also good. I recommend it to you, you can go and see

Those are nice! The ones that are cheaper and have decent reviews are also a good bit smaller than the ones I linked to, but they could still be an option if I decide to go with smaller cups. Thanks!

I ordered some of both, Lumpkin. I bought two small ones on amazon for gongfu and I have three larger ones on the way. I am very interested to see the differences in quality, but I am pleased with the small ones for the price. They definitely alter the taste of the tea, which isn’t always a good thing, but can be.

Yes.I hope you can find affordable, good quality cups, good luck.

I should say when talking about those teawares, everyone is paying for what They get. The quality grade of glaze, clay and techinique and author/artist fame of Jianzhan all determine the value and costs. Comparing them from the outlook is not so comprehensive. The cheapest here in the market is only 5-6dollars each. Highest May range above 5,000USD.

for normal personal use,choosing from those 15-70dollars is wise.

Thank you, Teamood! I have ordered and received some small cups for gongfu and I have some larger, more expensive ones on the way in the price range you mentioned. I am eager to compare them.
