The Heart Sutra Teacup (part of the Heart Sutra set) is a beautifully crafted piece made from unglazed Dehua ZhuNi clay. It features a traditional shape that is both elegant and functional, designed to enhance your tea-drinking experience.
The exterior of the teacup is adorned with a minimalist brushstroke design inspired by traditional Chinese calligraphy and ink painting. This simple yet striking decoration adds a touch to the teacup, inviting a sense of appreciation for the beauty of simplicity. The unglazed finish allows the natural beauty of the clay to shine while also contributing to the unique properties of the tea.
One of the standout 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 more subdued exterior, making each sip a feast for the eyes and the palate.
The shape of the teacup is thoughtfully designed for both comfort and aesthetics. 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. This process not only adds to the teacup's visual appeal but also makes each use a more immersive and enriching experience.
This teacup is part of the Heart Sutra set and complements other pieces in the collection, such as the Gaiwan and the Cha Hai. Each piece is designed to enhance the tea experience, making this teacup a valuable addition to your teaware. Whether used for personal enjoyment or during tea ceremonies, this teacup embodies the harmony of simplicity and function.
NOTE: Clay easily absorbs taste and aromas and should never be washed using detergents.
