Mutton Fat Jade Porcelain Tea Cup with Calligraphy
This 35ml Mutton Fat Jade Porcelain teacup exemplifies the harmony between aesthetics and mindfulness – key elements in both Gong Fu Cha and Zen practices. Crafted from Mutton Fat Jade Porcelain, the cup has a smooth, milky-white surface that radiates a gentle, translucent glow. This quality not only enhances its visual appeal but also enriches the overall tea-drinking experience, making each moment feel more refined and meditative. Mutton Fat Jade Porcelain resembles mutton fat jade — nephrite highly valued in Chinese culture. The calligraphy on the teacup reads "一心问茶" (Yī Xīn Wèn Chá), which can be translated as "Approach Tea With a Focused Heart." In the context of Gong Fu Cha, this phrase encourages practitioners to approach tea preparation and consumption with deep mindfulness. Gong Fu Cha is an art form that emphasizes precision and attention to detail. Brewing tea is a meditative practice where one is fully present and savoring the nuances of the tea's aroma, taste, and texture
