Why you'll love it
Cherry blossoms that last forever
Believe me, there's something special about holding a cup with sakura painted right into the porcelain. The design won't fade, chip, or wash away. Every morning, you get that quiet moment of beauty-the most classic Japanese motif, and still the truest. It's not just a tea cup, honey, it's a little ritual.
Craftsmanship
Underglaze sakura fired for keeps
Pale pink sakura blossoms are painted onto white porcelain, then the whole cup is fired. That's the secret. The glaze seals the design underneath, so it becomes part of the cup itself. No surface decoration that chips away. Just honest porcelain with a motif that's been trusted for centuries in Japan.
In your hands
Your quiet moment, every time
Picture this: morning light on white porcelain, steam rising from your favorite loose leaf tea, and those soft pink sakura blossoms catching your eye. You're not rushing. You're just there with your cup, the way tea is meant to be. This is what a proper tea cup does-it slows you down.
Real-world use
Dishwasher safe, no fuss required
Toss it in the dishwasher after your brew, no hand-washing needed. The underglaze design stays put through every cycle. Mind you, if you prefer the gentler touch of warm soapy water, the porcelain won't complain either. Either way, your sakura cup stays beautiful, year after year.

FAQ
Questions about your sakura tea cup
Will the sakura design fade or chip over time?
No. The sakura is painted under the glaze and fired into the porcelain itself. It won't fade, chip, or wash away. The design becomes part of the cup, so it's there for good.
Can I put this cup in the dishwasher?
Yes, absolutely. The porcelain tea cup is dishwasher safe. The underglaze sakura design stays intact through every cycle. You can also hand wash it if you prefer a gentler approach.

The description doesn't specify the exact capacity or dimensions. We recommend reaching out to our team for precise measurements so you know it's the right size for your tea ritual.
Is this cup suitable for hot tea, cold tea, or both?
Porcelain handles both hot and cold beverages beautifully. Use it for your morning hot tea, afternoon iced brew, or even cold matcha. The cup won't mind either way.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
