Know before you buy
A yunomi is a traditional Japanese teacup designed without a handle, meant to be held directly in the hands. This tall, cylindrical shape is specifically crafted to allow you to appreciate the warmth and texture of the stoneware while enjoying your tea.
Because these cups are crafted using traditional Mino-yaki techniques and kiln-fired, each piece features unique flame markings and color variations. You can expect your cup to have the same general aesthetic, but the specific placement of the orange patches will be one-of-a-kind.
The unglazed surface provides a tactile, earthy feel that connects you more closely to the material. Over time, unglazed stoneware can develop a unique patina as it absorbs the oils from the teas you brew, adding character to the cup.
This yunomi is designed for daily use and is perfectly suited for your regular tea rituals. While the stoneware is durable, we recommend hand-washing it gently to preserve the integrity of the unglazed finish.
With a 150 ml capacity, this cup is perfectly sized for a standard serving of Japanese green tea, such as sencha or gyokuro. It allows for a concentrated, flavorful brew that is meant to be sipped slowly.
