About ORIGAMI Tone Cups
ORIGAMI designed its Tone Cups around a simple idea: The shape of a cup changes how you experience your tea. Every tea has its own ideal brewing method, and temperature, aroma, and flavour develop differently as a result. The Tone series, which includes Fukami, Yoin, and Kaori, pairs each cup's form with a tea's character to bring those qualities forward and shape the aftertaste. Enjoy your coffee out of these cups, too!
About Yoin
Yoin is made for teas brewed at lower temperatures to draw out sweetness and umami. Its rounded form and gently outward-curving rim let your tea flow softly over your tongue and spread throughout your whole mouth. From the very first sip, the flavour wraps around you and lingers long after, leaving a quiet, lasting aftertaste. It's a cup that stays in the background and lets your tea's charm shine.
Each Yoin cup is finished in a kiln-change glaze, so colour and texture vary from piece to piece. Yours may look slightly different from the product photos.

About Kaori
Kaori is made for aromatic teas brewed between 70 and 80°C. Its wide, open form gently lifts your tea's natural aroma, so the fragrance rises to meet you the moment the cup reaches your lips. The softly spreading silhouette keeps both aroma and flavour light, giving you a refreshing sip and a clean aftertaste. It's the cup you'll reach for when you want to slow down and savour every bit of fragrance.

Fukami
Fukami is built for teas brewed at high temperatures. Its slightly thicker walls and moderately closed rim hold the heat of your tea, so warmth lingers as you drink. Each sip feels soft yet carries a sense of strength, and when you take your time, the deep flavour unfolds to reveal your tea's full richness and character.
