Enzo Teacup

Curator's Notes 

The simple color and form of this tea cup make the perfect backdrop for you to admire the deep and nuanced shades of tea—something that can be overlooked, but is a wonderful part of the experience, along with aroma and flavor. The smaller size helps to prevent your tea from growing cold and encourages you to savor each sip. The cup sits with a low profile and quiet presence that emanates the spirit of its name. Enzo, taken from the Japanese word ensō, stands for the Zen principles of simplicity and enlightenment. After a cup of tea in this serene, minimal vessel, you might feel it, too! The Enzo Tea Cup was designed to pair with the Enzo Tea Pot, but looks wonderful alone, and also works well to hold water or sake.
