Purple clay tea bowl (Zisha) — preparation gesture
A covered bowl designed for Gong Fu Cha practice, fashioned from purple clay (Zisha) and fired at high temperature.
Dense, mineral, slightly porous, clay retains heat and keeps the memory of infusions.
This bowl establishes a framework before the action. It sets the rhythm.
The lid tilts, the water meets the leaves, the steam rises.
The hand adjusts, lifts, pours. Heat circulates in the palm.
