Yixing Clay Aroma Tea Cup Set (ZiSha: ZiNi)

Yixing Clay Aroma Tea Cup Set (ZiSha: ZiNi)

$19.00

As its name suggests, the aroma cup serves as a gateway to the sensory delights of tea. Its tall and slender design allows the aromas to rise and linger. While the tasting cup focuses on drinking, the aroma cup invites us to pause and savor the fragrant notes that envelop the tea, offering a moment of pure sensory indulgence.

In this dance between aroma and taste, with each infusion, we unlock a new layer of aromas. Through these sensory elements, Gong Fu Cha forges a profound connection with tea, nurturing body and spirit.

These aroma teacups are made of the renowned Yixing ZiSha clay.

How to use Aroma Teacups:

Pour the tea from the Cha Hai (the fairness pitcher) into the aroma cup. To preserve and concentrate the aromas, flip the tasting cup and cover the aroma cup, creating a seal that locks in the fragrance. With gentle pressure from our thumb and index fingers, we carefully invert the cups, allowing the aroma cup to take the top. Slowly, we lift the aroma cup and enjoy the fragrance while the tea is waiting for us in the tasting cup.

I was skeptical that this would be any different to a gaiwan lid. But I was proven wrong. The aroma was much more intense off this. I wonder how much heavy lifting the material is doing. Looks wise, there's a beauty to the unglazed appearance. I like it

Amazing!

This is really worth while. They add something truly special to your gong fu sessions. I purchased this along side a Yixing teapot and they look perfect together, I look forward to using them together during my sessions.

Great with dark oolongs

Got these cups together with the Yixing purple/red tea pot to see how it will enhance the flavors of my dark oolongs collection. I can definitely notice a big change in the way that all the right notes are highlighted both with these cups and the tea pot and think it is a perfect match! If you haven't already, I recommend trying these tea cups with your favorite tea and see how it transforms.
