Yanco BP-9305 Black Pearl Melamine 3-1/2" x 3" Tea Cup 7 oz, Black — Case of 48 (4 dz)

Seven ounces in a three-and-a-half-inch handleless cup, three inches tall — the Chinese and Japanese tea format, held around the body rather than by a handle, which is why the wall matters. Melamine holds heat away from the hand better than thin porcelain does, so a freshly poured cup can be picked up sooner.

Seven ounces is a generous pour for green or oolong and also works for a small soup or a hot sauce at the table. Without a handle the cup stacks tightly, so forty-eight to a case takes up little shelf. The matte black interior gives a pale tea a dark ground rather than a white one, which reads as a deliberate pairing with the Black Pearl bowls.
