About this product
These traditional Yixing clay mugs are crafted from Zisha (purple sand clay) and feature timeless botanical motifs — bamboo for strength and lotus for serenity. Each mug is complete with a matching clay lid, secured with a traditional cord, making them both beautiful and practical for keeping your tea warm.
Handmade in Yixing, China, the legendary home of Zisha pottery, these mugs are unglazed and slightly porous. That means the clay subtly absorbs tea oils over time, deepening flavor with each brew — a prized quality for tea connoisseurs.

💡 A few things to know before using clay drinkware:
These mugs are unglazed and handcrafted, so they may have natural imperfections like small surface scratches, clay specks, or a slightly rough touch — it’s all part of their earthy charm!
Only use for pure tea or hot water — these mugs are not suitable for milk, creamer, cocoa, or soup.
The natural clay absorbs oils and proteins, and using dairy can lead to unpleasant odors or long-term staining (and nobody wants haunted milk ghost tea 👻🫖).
Stick to one tea type per mug to avoid flavor crossover.
Hand rinse with warm water then pat dry.
