Kung fu teacups are generally selected according to the capacity of the pot, that is, a pot can hold several cups of tea soup and several kung fu teacups. Generally, a set of Kung Fu tea set is equipped with four cups, six cups and eight cups. But in the authentic Chaoshan Kung Fu tea, there are only three Kung Fu cups. This is mainly because the local people pay attention to "drinking for three" and the tea tastes just three mouthfuls, so the matching Kung Fu tea set 120 ml just fills three small cups. If there are many people, everyone will take turns drinking.
