Know before you buy
No, this teacup is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap to preserve the delicate cobalt blue underglaze and the integrity of the Mino-yaki porcelain.
The 75ml capacity is specifically designed for traditional sencha tasting. It allows you to enjoy smaller, concentrated servings, which is ideal for appreciating the nuanced flavors and aromas of high-quality Japanese green teas.
The cup is designed with a traditional yunomi shape that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. Because it is made of porcelain, it will conduct heat; we suggest holding it near the base or waiting a moment for the tea to reach a comfortable drinking temperature.
The pure white interior is a functional design choice that allows you to clearly see the color and clarity of your tea. This is particularly important for sencha, where the vibrant green hue is a key part of the sensory experience.
Mino-yaki is a traditional style of Japanese pottery originating from the Gifu Prefecture. It is renowned for its high-quality craftsmanship and diverse range of glazes, ensuring that each piece carries a sense of authentic heritage.
