Pair of Chinese yixing clay tasting cups

Yixing Chinese clay tasting cup pair is used by oriental tea lovers to feel the taste and scent of tea.   Pour the tea into the tallest and narrowest cup, place the lowest and widest cup on top of the tall one, put your thumb over the large cup and take the small cup with your middle finger and index finger. 

Invert the cups so that the tea passes from the tall cup to the wide cup. 

At this point you can smell the tea from the tall cup and taste it from the large cup.
