This finely crafted tea tasting cup is made from original Yixing Zisha clay known as Crab Shell Green, prized for its unique mineral texture and high-temperature firing resilience. With a capacity of 80 milliliters, its size is ideal for savoring small, concentrated servings of fine teas, enhancing the intricate flavors typical of Gongfu brewing.

The cup's surface features a smooth, natural matte finish that subtly reveals the clay's fine granularity, inviting touch and close appreciation. Its shape is elegantly simple and unadorned, emphasizing the pure form and artisan craftsmanship without distraction.

In hand, this teacup feels balanced and substantial, its weight lending a grounding presence during tea service. The thickness and texture of the Zisha clay provide excellent heat retention, ensuring the liquor maintains optimal temperature through each sip. Its mouth is thoughtfully designed to deliver a smooth pour and a clean edge to the taste experience.

This unglazed cup matures with use, gradually developing a unique patina that enriches its appearance and tactile character over time.
