What customers say
The KINTO UNITEA cup earns high praise for its superior design and functionality. Customers consistently appreciate the minimalist Japanese aesthetic, noting the clear glass beautifully showcases the tea's color and steeping process. The 450ml size is considered perfect for a satisfying serving. A key functional highlight is the comfortable handle that stays cool, enhancing the overall quality perception. While the cup commands a premium price, users feel the sophisticated design and excellent user experience justify the investment.

Know before you buy
Yes, the UNITEA cup is crafted from durable, heat-resistant glass with a maximum temperature differential of 120℃ (248℉), making it perfectly suitable for boiling water and hot beverages.
While the glass is heat-resistant, it will still conduct heat from the liquid inside. If you are serving very hot tea or coffee, we recommend holding the cup by the upper rim or allowing the beverage to cool slightly before handling.
Yes, the cup is both microwave and dishwasher safe, making it convenient for daily reheating and easy cleanup.
With a 450ml (15.2 oz) capacity, this cup is larger than a standard teacup, making it ideal for a generous serving of coffee, tea, or a blooming floral tea.
The UNITEA cup is designed for everyday use. While it is made of glass and should be handled with care to avoid impacts, it is durable enough to withstand regular daily rituals.
