Know before you buy
The tulip shape is designed to concentrate the aroma of your beverage toward the nose, which significantly enhances your perception of flavor. By narrowing at the top, it traps the volatile compounds that are often lost in wider, open-rimmed mugs.
The cup is designed to be cradled in your palms, which provides a tactile connection to the temperature of your drink. While the porcelain is durable and heat-retaining, the exterior remains manageable for most users when filled with standard hot coffee or tea.
Yes, the ORIGAMI Sensory Flavor Cup is fully microwave and dishwasher safe, making it practical for daily use and easy to clean.
The cup has a capacity of 12 ounces (360 ml), making it an ideal size for a standard pour-over coffee, a large tea, or a generous serving of your favorite brew.
It is highly versatile and performs exceptionally well for both. The sensory-focused design is particularly effective at highlighting the nuanced aromatic profiles of specialty coffees and delicate loose-leaf teas.
