Default Confused about cup meaning

I have some green tea called '3 cup fragrance' mentioned previously
which I got from my local tea shoppe. It is also sold perse on
websites. I assumed it was a English trading term and could find
location and folklore in Chinese using PinYin. However I've noticed
several other recent references in the ng to '2 cup' and '7 cup' tea
names. I'm wondering if this is nothing more than a generic
description obviously meaning the number of infusions more than
meaningful tea name.
