ABOUT US
The birth of bemycups stems from our love for traditional craftsmanship and our deep understanding of modern life. The brand philosophy, “One Cup, One Life,” signifies that each Jian Zhan carries unique meaning, just like how every person has their own unique inner world. We believe that everyone can find the cup that resonates with their heart in bemycups. It’s not just a Jian Zhan; it’s a profound interpretation of craftsmanship and personal life attitude.
Brand Concept
The name bemycups represents “be myself,” which means “be who I am.” This is not just a simple name but the core spirit of our brand. Through each Jian Zhan, we hope to convey a life attitude — that everyone can stay true to themselves and live a unique and wonderful life. “One Cup, One Life” is the perfect expression of this philosophy: the creation of each Jian Zhan, from selecting the clay, to firing, to emerging from the kiln, mirrors the journey of life. From the beginning to becoming, through trials and tribulations, every step witnesses a unique path of growth.
Our Craftsmanship
Every bemycups Jian Zhan is the result of meticulous craftsmanship. Through intricate textures and mesmerizing colors, it guides each user into their own inner world. Whether during a busy day or in the quiet of the night, a Jian Zhan brings a moment of peace and reflection, helping to clear life’s worries and allowing you to experience a unique personal connection.
The process of creating a Jian Zhan is exceedingly complex, much like how every step in life is filled with challenges and careful refinement. From selecting clay from various regions, to forming, choosing the right glaze, and precisely controlling firing temperatures, every stage is handled personally by skilled craftsmen or masters to ensure the uniqueness and artistic value of each piece. Our craftsmen are inseparable from the Jian Zhan tradition, deeply attuned to every subtle variation in technique, and through constant practice, they breathe life into each cup.
Especially during the firing stage, the precise control of temperature determines the unique texture and glaze color on the surface of a Jian Zhan. This uniqueness echoes the individuality of human beings—just as a person’s life is shaped by critical decisions and responses in key moments, resulting in their unique experiences and inner qualities. Even when everything is perfectly prepared, the yield rate of a flawless Jian Zhan is only 35%. This low success rate not only highlights the complexity of the Jian Zhan craftsmanship but also ensures the rarity and uniqueness of each finished piece. It’s much like the challenges and pursuits for excellence in life—though not every attempt may achieve perfection, it is precisely these challenges and uncertainties that make life precious and one of a kind.
"Entering the kiln as one, emerging with a thousand hues; Life begins the same, yet through myriad trials, each shines in its own brilliance."
