There's an implicit {ghaH} in there, standing in for {pIn'a'}.
Changing to:
{Zen}'e' ghaH yu'meH DuSaQ'a' ghojmoHwI', Such ghojmoHwI'.
Better? Is that a right use of {-'e'}?

Oh, both good suggestions. {bov} qaq law' {poH} qaq puS. (Can I stick
a {-bej} on the two {qaq}s here? How do I say "A is definitely
preferably to B"?)
I want to preserve the parallel to the English (and Japanese) "a cup
of tea", but OTOH {tu'lum} is a word that one doesn't get a lot of
opportunity to use, and a meeting between a Zen master and a professor
is presumably an upper-classy setting. I'll have to think about that
one.
