An Embodiment of Zen Mindfulness & Song Dynasty Serenity – Celestial Sky-Blue Ru Ware Arhat Master Cup (80ml).

Bring serene tactile comfort to your daily Gongfu tea ritual with this Ru Ware Sky-Blue Raw Ore Arhat Teacup (80ml). Shaped in the classic Luohan (Arhat) rounded belly silhouette with a gently inward-curving rim, this master tasting cup is finished in imperial Song-style celestial sky-blue (Tian Qing) glaze made from natural raw agate ore.

Why It’s an Outstanding Master Cup for Your Tea Ceremony:
Classic Zen Arhat Geometry (Luohan Bei): The rounded, drum-belly profile fits naturally in the palm, retaining warmth while concentrating delicate tea aromatics right at the mouth.

Imperial Raw Ore Sky-Blue Glaze (Tian Qing): Coated in a silky, jade-like matte glaze imbued with natural mineral agate, featuring delicate micro-crackle veins (Cicada-Wing Crackle).

Classic Iron Rim Detail (Zi Kou): Natural glaze thinning along the lip exposes a subtle, refined brown iron accent ring, honoring traditional imperial Ru kiln characteristics.

Versatile 80ml Master Cup Capacity: An ideal volume for individual tasting sessions, enhancing the body, clarity, and aroma of Wuyi Yancha (Rock Tea), High Mountain Oolong, White Tea, and Pu'er.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the significance of the Arhat (Luohan) cup shape in Chinese tea culture?

A: Named after Buddhist monks (Arhats / Luohan), the Arhat cup is revered for its rounded, well-proportioned belly and inward-sloping lip. The shape symbolizes spiritual fulfillment, generosity, and peace while functionally trapping tea aromas and maintaining liquid temperature.

Q: What creates the "Iron Rim" (Zi Kou) on Ru Ware porcelain?

A: During high-temperature reduction firing, the thick glaze naturally flows downward away from sharp edges, exposing the dark, iron-rich stoneware body along the cup lip. This subtle contrast between the celestial blue glaze and iron lip is a prized hallmark of historic Ru porcelain.
