Bifū Ceramics Pine Needle Mino-yaki Yunomi

The cup is designed to be held comfortably. Because it holds 100ml, the porcelain walls are thick enough to insulate the heat, but you should allow your tea to cool slightly to a drinkable temperature before holding it directly.

Mino-yaki refers to pottery produced in the Gifu Prefecture of Japan, a region with over 1,300 years of ceramic history. It is a protected designation of origin, ensuring the piece meets specific quality and craftsmanship standards.

While the high-quality porcelain is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the delicate pine needle motif over time. It is generally microwave safe for reheating, but avoid extreme temperature shocks.

This is a traditional Japanese yunomi size, which is smaller than a standard Western teacup. It is specifically designed for enjoying concentrated, high-quality teas like sencha or gyokuro in smaller, focused servings.

Porcelain is non-porous and highly resistant to staining compared to stoneware or earthenware. With regular rinsing after use, the white finish will remain clean and bright.
