NOTIFY ME WHEN AVAILABLE
Description
Created specifically for drinking the second infusion, ‘nisenme’, of ‘gyokuro’, Japan’s most refined and exclusive green tea, this cup can also be used perfectly for the first infusion of gyokuro. Its rounded shape is comfortable to hold and provides a pleasant sensation to the touch while sipping the tea. Handmade in Mikawachi, in the Nagasaki Prefecture, it is created by artisans who have been passing on their crafts in this region since the mid-eighteenth century.

Before first use, immerse the item in water and boil for 30 minutes. After use, hand wash it carefully with a soft sponge and dry thoroughly. Do not wash it with any cleansing agents and avoid using abrasive sponges, dishwashers or drying machines.
It must not be directly exposed to temperature shocks – whether from a flame, conventional oven, microwave, induction cooktop, freezer, refrigerator or other source of heat or cold. Avoid any shocks or friction.
Taking care of your teacup includes avoiding stacking it with other objects to prevent scratches or cracks. Use spoons and other hard utensils with extra care to avoid striking or scraping. If you notice any cracks, chips or deep scrapes, please stop using the item, as these can cause it to break at any time.
As our objects are crafted in small batches and often made-to-order by our artisans, we regretfully do not accept any returns.
