Tea Cup - Slim Japanese Zelkova

It's a stylish wooden lacquer-coated yunomi cup with a slightly small and slim form. Being wooden, it's surprisingly light at first touch. It's well received by those who say, 'Heavy tableware is hard to handle.' Additionally, wood has a slow heat transfer rate, so even when filled with hot tea, the yunomi cup doesn't get too hot to hold comfortably. Conversely, the tea inside stays warm for longer. Its functionality is outstanding. The lacquer finish allows the natural wood grain to show through, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the keyaki (zelkova) wood grain. With three color variations available, it's a popular lacquerware item for occasions such as Father's Day, Mother's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, and also as a gift for couples when paired.
