Know before you buy
Shudei clay is a signature Tokoname-yaki material known for its high iron content. This mineral composition is prized by tea enthusiasts because it can subtly soften the water and enhance the flavor profile of the tea being served.
Yes, it is designed for daily tea rituals. However, because it is handcrafted from traditional clay, it is not dishwasher or microwave safe and should be hand-washed with water to preserve its finish.
The 75ml capacity is specifically designed for focused, small-batch tea tasting, such as high-quality sencha or gyokuro. It encourages you to savor the tea in smaller, concentrated portions rather than drinking a large volume at once.
The cup is designed to be held in the palm of your hand. While the clay will warm up, the size and shape are intended to allow you to comfortably cradle the cup and appreciate the temperature and texture of the tea.
Tokoname-yaki refers to pottery produced in Tokoname, one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. It signifies a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship, ensuring that your cup is an authentic piece of Japanese ceramic history rather than mass-produced ware.
