Cupping refers to an ancient Chinese practice in which a cup is applied to the skin and the pressure in the cup is reduced, usually by a flame, so that the skin and superficial muscle layer is drawn into and held in the cup.
Cupping is believed to stimulate flow of blood, lymph and Qi to the affected area. Its uses include relieving pain in the muscles, especially back pain from stiffness or injury, and clearing congestion in the chest, which can occur with colds and flu. It can even benefit menstrual problems and digestive problems, too.
A certain amount of bruising is expected both from fixed position cupping (especially at the site of the cup rim) and with movement of the cups.

1st Tea (Shou Mei) – Shou Mei is a white tea and as a white tea is very different from other types of tea such as green or black tea. White tea leaves are plucked from a special varietal tea bush called Narcissus or chaicha bushes. Secondly the leaves are not steamed or pan-fired (the process used in green teas) or fermented and fired (the process used in black tea). The leaves are naturally withered and dried in the sun.
One of the flights we cupped were of all the experimental processing lots from Finca Mauritania. There were 9 different samples all together.
Some people actually preferred the Loring batches. I know Bjornar and I both agreed that the Probats were better. One of the coffees was pretty weak too, an El Salvador Santa Rita - just blah.
There are two ways of putting on the cups 1. with this kind that you remove the air or 2. a flame inside the cup. It pulls up the toxins in your skin to help regulate your hot and cold chi.
