English	The Chief Cup creatively combines non-standard ceramics with standardized metal in large area, and the cup body is made of bone china, The prismatic vertical stripe body draws on classic elements such as suits and Roman columns to enhance the cultural sense of the tea set. The bottom of the cup is equipped with a plastic ring, anti-skid and silenced. It will not make sound when placed. Because of the difficulty of the process, the pitch of the ceramic tea filter is generally larger, and the pore diameter of Xiaoguan Tea is controlled within 1.8 mm, which reduces the filtration of the tea residue and optimizes the tea drinking.
Native	小罐茶针对个人日常饮茶场景专门设计制作出了长官杯茶具，泯灭了中式、西式的界限，外观造型简洁现代，棱状竖条纹杯身借鉴西装和罗马柱等经典元素，又增强了茶具的文化气质。值得一提的是，茶具创造性地将非标准的陶瓷和标准化的金属多部件、大面积结合，将刚性美学和柔性美学熔于一炉，又将陶瓷的文化感和金属的科技感兼容并包。并且茶具杯身采用骨瓷材质，和传统的陶瓷相较而言，更轻薄，更坚硬耐用，工艺实现难度极大。为了进一步提升用户体验，长官杯底部装有塑胶静音圈，防滑、消音，放置时不会发出声响，同时减少杯底及家具的磨损，让每一次喝茶都变成静静的享受。此外，因为工艺实操的复杂，陶瓷茶滤的孔距一般都较大，小罐茶突破工艺上的难度，将孔径控制在1.8mm，达到了茶滤出水和拦截茶渣的平衡点，减少茶渣滤出，让茶汤更显纯净，优化饮茶体验。
