Know before you buy
A Guinomi is a traditional Japanese cup originally designed for sake, but its small size and elegant shape make it perfect for serving concentrated teas like gyokuro or high-quality sencha.
No, this cup is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the unique glaze.
Yes, the tapered shape is designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Because it is a small 75ml cup, it is intended to be held and sipped slowly, allowing you to feel the warmth of the tea through the ceramic.
