_____________________

The Art of Powder Blue (Sa Lan): Also known as "blown blue" (Chui Qing). Cobalt glaze is meticulously blown through a bamboo tube onto the clay body. During high-temperature firing, the glaze transforms into a mottled texture resembling falling snow against a deep blue sky.

Carved Poetry: The body is hand-carved with a meditative Zen verse: "When thoughts dissolve into emptiness, the Dao is realized; in absolute freedom, one enters the mist and rosy clouds." Every stroke carries the weight and focus of the artisan's hand, making each cup a miniature work of art.

Aroma-Concentrating Form: Designed with a gently incurved rim (Lian Kou). This elegant silhouette naturally concentrates the tea's aroma, intensifying the sensory experience with every sip.

The Framing Effect: The rich blue body is crowned with a pristine white rim. When tea is poured inside, the vibrant liquor dances beautifully against the deep blue backdrop, framed elegantly by the white edge.

Care & Handling

1. Before Use

  • Rinse with fresh water. Preheating the cup with hot water before brewing is highly recommended to help fully release the tea’s aroma.

2. Daily Ritual

  • Appreciating the Contrast: Use the white rim as a visual frame to admire the clarity and color of your tea liquor. This cup is exceptionally well-suited for highly aromatic teas.
  • The Sip: The incurved rim naturally fits the lips, allowing the tea to glide smoothly onto the palate for a nuanced tasting experience.

3. Cleaning & Storage

  • Gentle Clean: Rinse promptly after use. Wipe gently with a soft sponge or cotton cloth. Do not use steel wool or abrasive brushes to protect the hand-carved text and the delicate white rim.
  • Handle with Care: The unique textured glaze deserves gentle handling. Avoid collisions with hard objects. Dry thoroughly and store in a well-ventilated, dry space.
