Pro Tip

Distinguishing 茶盅盖 from other lids

茶盅盖 is specifically for a tea caddy (茶盅), not a teacup (茶杯) or teapot (茶壶). The latter have different lid designs.

Word Origin

茶盅 (cházhōng, 'tea caddy') + 盖 (gài, 'lid') — a compound noun describing the lid specifically for a tea caddy.

Usage Notes

The term is most common in Chinese tea culture, particularly for Yixing teapots or similar small brewing vessels. In English, 'tea caddy lid' is the closest equivalent, though 'caddy lid' alone may suffice in context.
