Cafec Otemae Tashinamu Cup - Kumoi White

The Cafec Otemae Tashinamu Cup in Kumoi White is a Japanese ceramic tasting cup designed for a more mindful way of enjoying coffee. Inspired by the spirit of Japanese tea ceremony, the Otemae series encourages a slower and more intentional coffee ritual, where aroma, texture, temperature, and sweetness are experienced with care. Its soft white finish gives it a calm and refined look, making it suitable for specialty coffee tasting, daily filter coffee, or quiet moments of appreciation.

The cup is shaped to concentrate aroma and guide coffee comfortably toward the mouth, helping highlight the mellow sweetness and depth of the brew. Its rounded interior and generous open space allow the fragrance of coffee to gather, making it ideal for tasting and appreciating lighter roasts, delicate notes, and the way flavour changes as the coffee cools. For the best experience, avoid filling the cup fully. Filling it around one-third allows more space for aroma to open up, similar to the way wine is tasted. Made from traditional Japanese Mino ceramic, the cup has a reassuring weight in hand and a capacity of approximately 200 ml.

To care for the Cafec Otemae Tashinamu Cup, wash it gently after use with mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh cleaners that may scratch or dull the ceramic surface. Handle with care to prevent chips or cracks, especially around the rim and base. Allow the cup to dry fully before storing, and avoid sudden temperature shocks to help preserve the ceramic body over time.
