The well-loved mug is back exclusively on our shelves. This charming mug fulfills the practical needs that you look for in a mug. It holds a steady 280ml of coffee while weighing less than 300g.
The wide, easy-to-hold handle fits comfortably in your hand, offering a stable balance.
*1 We are now working with a new manufacturer and the glazing slightly differs from the previous lot.
*2 There are subtle differences among each mug, the glazing in particular.
The series is from the collaborative project of KINTO and atelier tete, which produces hand-made porcelain in Hasami area in Nagasaki, where has 400 years of history in pottery.
“Te” means “hand” in Japanese, and the brand holds this name because it is all about hand—it is hand-made, to create the products so charming that you want to hold it with your hand at the shop, then it will bring you a pleasurable experience every time you use it, and it leads you to think of the precious hand-made process with a craftsmanship.
Since each mug is shaped and glazed by hand and due to the manufacturing process in the kiln, glaze sometimes appear inconsistent or dripping on the side.
- when a second color glaze is applied, sometimes the second glaze layers over the first, creating a shade of overlap.
- the size and the width of the handles may vary.
See the example to see such condition which are within tolerance.
Since starting our coffee subscription in 2015, we have partnered with over 35 specialty coffee roasters from around Japan, with subscribers from over 30 countries worldwide. Kurasu's first motivation for starting out as a brand was to spread our passion for Japanese coffee culture across the world. We have been fortunate to be able to travel around Japan and connect with so many wonderful roasters and their stories.
The underlining factor is that they all share a passion and a desire to spread their message through coffee. In essence, Kurasu and our partner roasters all share this same vision. From those amazing roasters we worked with last year, we have featured 10 of their stories, paired with their location on a map and their recommended recipe. All the contents are both in Japanese and English.
We are happy to do our part in telling their stories to a global audience- through this book, we hope you their stories will transport you here with us and experience them as we did. We also hope this book will work as a guidebook for everyone to find great coffee anywhere in Japan.
