The Heart Sutra Teacup (part of the Heart Sutra set) is made from unglazed Dehua ZhuNi clay. It features a traditional shape, elegant and functional.
The teacup features a single brushstroke and a dot, inspired by traditional Chinese calligraphy and ink painting. It fosters a sense of appreciation for the beauty of simplicity. The unglazed finish allows the natural beauty of the clay.
One of the features of this teacup is the beautiful contrast between its interior and exterior colors. The interior's rich hue provides a striking visual contrast to the subdued exterior.
The shape of the teacup is designed for comfort and aesthetic appeal. It fits comfortably in the hand, with an extended lip allowing for a secure grip even when the tea is hot. The wide opening and gently curving sides facilitate a pleasant drinking experience, enhancing the aroma and flavor of the tea.
Over time, the unglazed surface of the interior develops a unique patina, reflecting the history of teas brewed within it. Dehua ZhuNi clay interacts with the tea, enhancing its taste with the minerals it contains. Try pairing it with Wuyi Rock Tea, and you will see it for yourself.
NOTE: Clay easily absorbs taste and aromas and should never be washed using detergents.
