About

The ORIGAMI Sensory Asymmetry Cup was created for people who love tasting with attention. Its shape is built around one small but fascinating idea: the way a cup touches your lips can change how you experience a drink.

The asymmetrical rim has two different drinking edges. One side is thinner and more delicate, helping highlight brightness, clarity and aromatic lift. The other side feels slightly fuller, bringing more focus to body, softness and depth. This makes the cup especially interesting for comparing teas, tasting new harvests, or simply noticing how flavour changes as the drink cools.

The form sits comfortably in the hand and can be used from either side. It is a beautiful tool for slow tea tasting, but also works well for coffee, small servings, and any drink where aroma and texture matter.

Made in Japan from porcelain, the cup reflects ORIGAMI’s approach to everyday objects: minimal, functional, and quietly expressive. It is simple enough for daily use, but thoughtful enough to make a familiar drink feel new again.

Use & Care

How to Use

Pour tea or coffee into the cup and try drinking from both sides of the rim. The thinner edge can make the drink feel brighter and more aromatic, while the fuller edge can bring more attention to body, roundness and depth.

It is especially lovely for tasting green tea, oolong, black tea, matcha drinks, filter coffee, or any drink you want to experience more carefully.

For a fuller sensory tasting, gently swirl the cup or stir the drink as it cools to notice how the aroma and flavour change over time.
