Teacup “Umi”: Tranquility inspired by the sea
The name "Umi" means "in the Sea of Japan." The tranquil blue-green glaze of this teacup evokes the still surface of water, gentle waves, and the depths of the ocean. Depending on the light, the color nuances appear vibrant yet calming – like a view of the sea on a windless day.
With its harmonious color scheme, the "Umi" teacup creates a tranquil counterpoint to everyday life. Filled with green tea, it offers a moment of slowing down, where warmth, color, and taste merge into a quiet ritual.
Timeless design and modern craftsmanship
Like all Shinkoko teacups, "Umi" combines a clear, functional form with a serene aesthetic appeal. The subtly textured surface feels pleasant in the hand, while the stoneware retains the tea's heat for a long time.
Made in Portugal, this teacup combines European ceramic craftsmanship with the simple design language of Japanese tea culture. The result is a durable cup for everyday use that also creates a special atmosphere.
Your moment by the water
Whether in the morning, during a break, or as a conscious end to the day: the "Umi" teacup invites you to be present in the moment and find peace. It is suitable both for your own tea enjoyment and as a stylish gift for lovers of Japanese aesthetics.
