Why is it feminine?

Taza is feminine because it derives from the Arabic word "tāssa" (طاسة), which was feminine in Arabic, and this gender was retained when the word entered Spanish during the medieval period when Arabic significantly influenced the language. The -a ending in Spanish typically signals feminine gender, which reinforces this retained feminine classification.
