Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop Jianzhan Stoneware Cup

The rainbow pattern is created during the high-temperature firing process at 1300°C. Because the kiln environment is unpredictable, no two cups are identical, meaning your specific piece will have a one-of-a-kind distribution of color and texture.

Jianzhan stoneware is known for its density and excellent heat retention. This helps maintain a stable temperature for your tea, which can soften the mouthfeel and enhance the aromatics of high-quality loose-leaf teas.

A 100ml capacity is ideal for gongfu-style brewing, where small, concentrated infusions are preferred. It is perfectly sized for oolong, pu-erh, or black teas that benefit from multiple short steeps.

As a hand-made stoneware piece, it should be hand-washed with warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers to preserve the integrity of the glaze.

The cup is designed with a substantial, dense feel characteristic of traditional Jianzhan pottery. While it is heavier than standard porcelain, this weight provides a grounded, tactile experience that many tea enthusiasts find comforting.

While it is a work of art, it is fully functional and designed for daily use. The durable stoneware construction is built to withstand regular tea drinking, and the glaze will remain vibrant with proper care.
