KI KOHIKI Yunomi (handcrafted Teacup: 175ml) Reviews

Author	Monica Miller (United States)
Review	I almost didn't buy this beauty because I thought it was too 'masculine'. Is it? Not in the least! I needed to get out of my comfort zone of flowery things. This cup is awesome. It is a lovely buttery color with lots of cracks and iron splotches. It really does help make the tea moment better. Even though it has some 'heft to it' the rim has been thinned out and flared a little so that when the lips touch the rim for a sip of green goodness it really feels good on the lips! As you can see from my pictures (and other customer/website pictures) each cup is a bit different. Mine is not as crackly as the one on the Hibiki-An website. While I wish I would have gotten a more 'crackly' one, I am very pleased with the one I received. It's got a lot of personality, feels good in the hand(s), is balanced, and the green color of the tea seems to be deepened in it. It's quite large too. Holds almost 7 ounces but somehow it doesn't feel too big. I am so happy that I finally broke through my inhibitions and bought it. It's a great yunomi for everyone who loves beautiful handmade art and great tea. Will definitely be using this one a lot!
