Introduction To The Tea Cup :
The beautiful ceremonial teacup, profoundly rooted in Tibetan and Himalayan traditions, is a venerated cup for serving tea during Buddhist rituals and cultural festivities. It is generally used in monasteries and religious gatherings to pay honor to deities, esteemed monks, and guests, representing the essence of hospitality and spiritual offerings. In the development of the tea culture of the Central Plains, Buddhism played an important role. The Tibetans, who believe in Buddhism, attach importance to tea ceremonies during Buddhist activities. They often connect tea with God. When praying to deities in temples, they take medicine, holy water, and tea with them. For Tibetans, tea implies friendship, respect, purity, and auspiciousness. Tibetans use tea in various polite formalities and customs, such as weddings, childbirth, funerals, and religious rites.
