Tea Cup with Infuser Yixing Zisha Zen Inscription Lid 410ml
Tea Cup with Infuser — Yixing Zisha Zen Inscription Lidded Cup, 410ml
Slow down. This Yixing purple clay tea cup is inscribed with four Chinese characters — “Zen Tea Yi Wei” (禅茶一味) — expressing the ancient idea that Zen and tea share the same essence. The three-piece design (cup, lid, detachable filter) makes it effortless to brew loose leaf tea directly in the cup, separate the leaves, and drink in peace. A daily ritual for the restless mind.
The Zen Tea Philosophy
Zen tea culture traces its roots to Buddhist monks who cultivated, harvested, and consumed tea as part of their practice — for offering, meditation, welcoming guests, and gifting. The spirit of Chinese Zen tea is summarized as: upright, clear, harmonious, and elegant. When feeling restless, a quiet moment with this cup brings awareness back to the present.
Three-Piece Design
- Tea cup: 410 ml — 14 cm (5.51") long × 7.9 cm (3.11") wide × 11.6 cm (4.57") tall
- Lid: Keeps tea warm and fragrance sealed during steeping
- Detachable filter: Separates loose leaf tea from the brew — remove when desired strength is reached
Why Yixing Zisha Clay
- Natural breathability: Enhances tea aroma and flavor with every brew
- Unique aroma adsorption: Gradually absorbs tea fragrance — recommended for one tea type to preserve purity
- Improves with use: Surface becomes smoother, glossier, and more refined over time
- Thermal stability: Slow heat transfer — resistant to hot and cold temperature changes
