Know before you buy
No, this cup is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the unique finish, we recommend handwashing it gently with mild soap.
The Bizen Fu Yunomi is designed to be held in the palm of your hand. While it will warm up when filled with hot tea, the thickness of the ceramic provides enough insulation to hold it comfortably once the tea reaches a drinkable temperature.
No. Because each piece is handcrafted using traditional Mino-yaki techniques, there will be subtle variations in texture and color, making every cup a unique piece of functional art.
This cup holds 5.7 ounces (168ml), which is the standard size for a traditional Japanese tea serving.
Absolutely. While it is designed with traditional tea rituals in mind, its durable ceramic construction and 5.7oz capacity make it perfectly suitable for a small coffee, espresso, or any other hot beverage.
