🍵 Chinese Tea Cups: Jianzhan, Tenmoku & Ceramic Masterpieces

Discover the artistry of Chinese tea cups, where ancient traditions like Jianzhan (建盏) 🌌 and Tenmoku 🏺 meet modern craftsmanship. Revered since China’s Song Dynasty, Jianzhan tea cups are famed for their lustrous black glaze and “oil spot” patterns, believed to enhance tea flavors. Similarly, Tenmoku tea ware, inspired by Zen aesthetics ☯️, showcases iron-rich finishes in earthy tones. Our collection offers authentic handcrafted pieces, from rustic Yixing clay sets to minimalist porcelain cups, perfect for gongfu ceremonies 🫖 or daily rituals.

🔥 Jianzhan & Tenmoku: A Legacy in Every Sip

Each Chinese tea cup in our collection tells a story. Jianzhan tea bowls, fired at 1,300°C in dragon kilns 🐉, develop unique crystalline textures over time. Tenmoku cups, with their deep brown and amber hues, reflect the simplicity of Japanese tea traditions rooted in Chinese heritage. Whether you’re brewing pu-erh in a Jianzhan cup or matcha in a Tenmoku bowl 🍃, these pieces transform tea drinking into a meditative experience.
