Why do the Japanese use small cups for tea?

Cups play a very important role in Japanese culture and it is impossible to imagine a tea ceremony without them. Cups come in different sizes and shapes, made of different materials - depending on which tea they are intended for. Traditional - without a tendril.

When preparing tea in the traditional way, the general rule applies: more leaves, less water and a short steeping time. This brings out the different characteristics of the tea, which change with each subsequent infusion. When drinking tea from a small capacity and delicate cup, we experience different sensations: we look at the cup itself and how the tea dances in it, we hear certain sounds when the water enters the cup, we feel the aroma and taste of the tea. When holding a cup that does not have a tendril, we feel its shape, texture, and temperature more. All this makes it easier to feel the taste and aroma of each stage of tea preparation, and to assess the quality of the tea.
