Easy for beginners
As someone new to tea ceremonies, having the strainer built-in makes things so much easier. I don't need to buy a separate funnel. The instructions included were helpful for care.

Great heat retention
I was worried about the handle getting too hot, but the design keeps it cool enough to hold comfortably even with boiling water. The large capacity is perfect for serving three to four guests at once.

Sturdy and elegant
Arrived well-packaged with no chips. The purple hue is deeper than in the photos, which I actually prefer. It sits stably on the table and looks very traditional.

Beautiful but requires seasoning
Absolutely gorgeous carved details. Just remember that like all Zisha ware, it needs a good rinse and initial brew before the first real use to remove any clay dust. Once seasoned, it enhances the tea flavor nicely.

Authentic Yixing quality
You can tell this is handmade by the slight variations in the texture. The filter hole pattern is precise, ensuring a clear liquor every time. Highly recommend for oolong or pu-erh teas.

Perfect addition to my Gongfu set
The craftsmanship on this fairness cup is incredible. The purple clay feels substantial in the hand, and the integrated filter works flawlessly to catch even the finest tea leaves. It pours smoothly without dripping.
Q: Is this cup safe to put directly on a stove or electric heater?
A: No, while the Zisha clay is heat-resistant, this fairness cup is designed to receive hot tea from a teapot, not to be heated directly on a flame or electric element.
Q: Is the carving done by machine or hand?
A: Each piece features hand-carved details by skilled artisans in Yixing. Slight variations in the pattern are normal and confirm the authentic handmade nature of the product.
Q: Can I use dish soap to clean this?
A: We strongly advise against using soap or detergents. Zisha clay is porous and will absorb the scent and taste of soap, ruining future tea sessions. Please rinse with hot water only.
Q: What is the exact volume in milliliters?
A: The total capacity is approximately 450ml when filled to the brim. For optimal pouring without spilling, we recommend filling it to about 400ml.
Q: Does the filter come out for cleaning?
A: No, the tea strainer is integrated into the design during the molding process to ensure a seamless fit and durability. You can clean it by rinsing under running water or using a soft brush.
