Know before you buy
The Cala is inspired by traditional gaiwan teacups, featuring a wide opening that helps coffee and tea cool to an ideal sipping temperature more quickly. Its unique shape is specifically engineered to concentrate aromas and guide the liquid across your palate for a more nuanced tasting experience.
While its design is elevated enough for special occasions, it is crafted from durable fine porcelain intended for everyday use. It is both dishwasher and microwave safe, making it practical for your morning coffee or tea ritual.
The Cala 6oz Tasting Cup is designed to fit the NotNeutral Lino universal saucer. If you already own Lino saucers, this cup will integrate seamlessly into your existing collection.
The gently sloped lip is designed to ensure an even distribution of the beverage across your palate. This helps you perceive the subtle flavor notes and acidity of filter coffee more clearly than you would with a standard, straight-walled mug.
The Cala cup stands 3 inches tall and measures 4 inches in width, with a total capacity of 6 ounces.
