Yixing Purple Clay Tea Cup 1958 University of Science and Technology of China

Description

This is a Yixing teacup with a lid, made from purple clay found in Yixing, China. It is inscribed on the bottom with 1958 University of Science and Technology of China

Yixing teacups are crafted from a special type of clay called Zisha, rich in minerals and known for its porous nature. This allows the clay to absorb the flavor of the tea over time, enhancing the taste of future brews.
Origin:
Yixing teacups originated in the Ming Dynasty in Yixing, Jiangsu province, China. They are highly valued for their craftsmanship and unique properties.
Benefits:
Yixing teacups enhance the flavor and aroma of tea, particularly for oolong and Pu-erh teas. The clay's porosity also helps to maintain the temperature of the tea.
