Terasilk Handmade Yixing Teacup Set | "Ni Hui" Plum Blossom Aroma Cups | Premium Hongni Red Clay (Set of 2)-30ml/1
Share the Beauty of Winter's Bloom
In the traditional Gongfu tea ceremony, tea is an art meant to be shared. This bespoke Terasilk Teacup Set provides two exquisitely crafted tasting vessels, perfect for sharing a quiet moment of connection with a guest or loved one. Featuring a tall, elegant profile and adorned with hand-painted falling plum blossoms, this pair transforms every sip into a celebration of fragrance and visual poetry.
✨ Key Features:
-
The Perfect Pair: Sold as a matched set of two. Whether you are hosting a formal tea session or enjoying a quiet morning with a partner, these matching cups elevate the shared experience of tea tasting.
-
Artisan "Ni Hui" Plum Blossom: The cups feature a delicate plum blossom branch (Mei Hua) with falling petals, crafted using the traditional Ni Hui (clay slip painting) technique. Colored liquid clay is applied by hand, creating a beautiful, slightly raised 3D texture. The plum blossom represents resilience and purity, blooming bravely in the winter snow.
-
Tall "Aroma Cup" Profile: Designed with a taller, deeper body and a gently flared rim. This specific shape acts as an "Aroma Cup" (Wen Xiang Bei), expertly trapping and concentrating the volatile, fragrant oils of the tea so you can deeply inhale the scent before your first sip.
-
Premium Hongni (Red Clay): Handcrafted from authentic Yixing Red Clay (Hongni). This highly breathable, mineral-rich earth boasts a warm, vibrant terracotta hue. It is renowned for retaining heat exceptionally well, keeping your tea at the ideal tasting temperature.
-
The Luxury of Patina: Left completely unglazed inside and out, these cups will evolve with you. As the porous clay absorbs the tea's essential oils over time, the matte finish will slowly develop a deep, lustrous, and highly coveted antique patina.
🍵 Care Instructions: To protect the natural, porous nature of authentic Yixing clay, never use soap or dishwashing liquid. Simply rinse the cups thoroughly with boiling water after each use and allow them to air dry. We recommend dedicating this set to a highly aromatic tea category (such as Dancong Oolongs, Tie Guan Yin, or Black teas) to allow the patina and fragrance profile to build beautifully over time.
