Making Process
Kirsten H.
About 6 months ago, I saw a show similar to “Hows it Made”. This was dealing with how generations of families and Maker’s, were keeping tradition alive. I sat completely mesmerized as they went through the process of making beautiful Tenmoku Teacups! The process of choosing the clay and preparing it. The shaping of the Jianzhan Tenmoku, in just the right way. Then it was making and applying the ancient glaze, that must not be to thin or to thick, ruining all the work to this point, aside from creating unique designs. It’s a miracle that these beautiful cups survive the process. At anytime the entire cup can be lost.
Seeing such a a skilled technique and the beauty of these Jianzhan Tenmoku cups, the colours, the designs, I noted the name of the small group that created them. I swore that I would one day be the owner of such a cup!
The day finally cam, when I could make that promise a reality. I found the name I had noted and pulled them up online! There they were, the most beautiful teacups I had ever seen! The swirls, designs, some more abstract and others like the one I chose, deep reflective black with a golden leaf on the interior! This must surely been like a cup, only the most privileged in ancient times would have. Order placed I waited…
Finally the day came and the delivery driver handed me a small square package! My hands began to shake as I unwrapped the box! Inside was a lovely dark blue box, latched with a small clasp! Inside with soft velvet like padded interior, the colour of the earth it came from, was my cup! Holding it was like what holding a historic gem must have been like, as they were relieved from their home in Mother Earth! It nestled in my palm as if was made exclusively for me! It felt like an extension of my palm as my fingertips caressed the outside of the cup! What an incredible feeling it was!
Now, I will collect many more of these teacups, these little works of art. But do not set it on a shelf forgotten. These are meant to be used, experienced! Nothing tastes quite like the tea that has been poured into the Tenmoku!
Look at the designs, find one that speaks to you, or reminds you of that special Grandmother, dear friend or even yourself. Take this journey, of owning something so carefully created just for you!
Best wishes,

Nancy F.
I had been looking at these online for awhile and finally bought one. Not only was it delivered in a matter of days but it was beautifully packaged and the product was gorgeous! I am pairing it with some exotic tea from Vietnam and giving it to a good friend as a birthday present.

Greg D.
Fantastic company to deal with and there tea cups are mind blowing in there detail. They truly are works of art
Kristi P.
Having several "very Japanese" souvenirs from 3 trips over the years, I must say the cup itself, as well as the packaging/ presentation are as Japanese as you can get! Brings back memories of my trips every time I use it.
My photo does not include the cup, but it is one of my all time favorite travel photos, this one capturing a monk sweeping Sakura blossoms that had fallen in an overnight snowfall.
Spence H.
Understated and simple but beautiful.
Tracy V.
I knew the teacup would be beautiful- and it definitely was- what I didn’t expect was the gorgeous presentation! When I saw the beautiful box it came in I knew this was truly gift-worthy. This will be part of my family for generations.
Jacqueline S.
Beautiful tea cup, vibrant and shiny colors

I’ve ordered and received five of these bowls - each bowl is spectacularly beautiful! I could not be more thrilled! They are gifts so I can’t take a picture yet. I’m so very excited to have these bowls - each one is distinctly stunning!
Aurin S.
Great gloss
Martha B.
This one requires a little more effort to let the light in to brighten up the leaf. Once you're there, it is indeed lovely.
Lisha F.
One of a kind treasure!❤️
Karen M.
I have ordered 6 tea different cups. They are all beautiful, but this cup is absolutely stunning! It almost has an optical illusion when looking down into the cup. My daughter’s Christmas present and she will love it!
Michael M.
The pictures of this cup do not do it justice. Holding it in your hand and looking down into it is amazing. I am shocked at how beautiful it is and how it transforms as I move it in the light.
A work of art I will treasure.
Jeffrey J.
Bought this for my son, it’s an outstanding piece of craftsmanship, detailed, and well worth the price!
SHARON M.
The piece is absolutely beautiful!
The customer service was beyond my expectations. FedEx delivered to the wrong address and was no help in locating it. However, you guys immediately stepped up and sent another to replace it. Above and beyond in every way!
Trish R.
The design of my second tea cup is so beautiful, the inside of this black cup holds a golden leaf in exquisite detail
Patricia C.
I’m so pleased with these cups. I am giving them away for Christmas but already wishing I had kept one for myself. They came much quicker than I thought and were very much protected the way they were packed.

Even more beautiful "in person" than what the photographs portray! Love 'em!
Kathleen H.
The black gold leaf cup is stunning! My problem is finding the best place to display it. I am certainly looking forward to starting a collection of these beautiful pieces of art.
Jacqueline M.
Bought it as a gift for my daughter. It arrived quickly. It's very nice! I'm sure my daughter is going to love it. Being handmade by a small business makes it very special!

These are all Christmas gifts so I only opened one. It is beautiful and nicely packaged.
Hugo-Pierre P.
Simple yet elegant, a great cup that stands out by it’s neat and pure design
Li Li L.
Beautiful teacup...just adds to the enjoyment.
John M.
The gold leaf at the bottom of the cup turns a glistening copper tone under tea. It makes me observe and drink my tea with more appreciation.
Ruth N.
This is the most elegant cup! It will be a gift for my son at Christmas. His wife will get the "Smooth" cup. A Most wonderful gift and purchase
Lynda K.
Love your products. The quality is perfect and the presentation box makes it a truly wonderful gift.
CJ A.
I really have only seen this beautiful tea bowl, because it’s a gift for my granddaughter! She chose it from your website…….it’s for Christmas and therefore hasn’t been used.
Linda L.
Beautiful craftsmanship!!
Kay B.
The cup is lovely. The only disappointment is one side of the box has a water stain.
Morgan S.
My husband and I got the beautiful black tea cups with the gold leaf on the bottom. They are so beautiful! We have been using them non-stop. It makes our tea drinking rituals so much more special. We can’t wait to add onto our set! Also they came in the mail sooooo fast!! We will be buying from here again and telling our friends! Thank you!!
Anne L.
This is a truly gorgeous cup. This is one of the biggest in the range too which I like. They are all beautifully made.
Jan S.
I bought this cup as a birthday gift for my son-in/law. He loves it and said I made a perfect choice.
Susan C.
Simplicity of this is so beautiful
Joan R.
Exception quality. Is as described.
Barrie M.
The packaging is some of the most premium I've seen. No doubt why the cup arrived safe. The cup is a beautiful black with a lovely golden leaf in the bottom. The heat leaves the tea into the cup making the cup hot and tea drinkable. This also keeps the tea warm. These are great, my wife loves them.
Maritza D.
I really enjoy my golden leaf teacup. It is both functional and decorative, your choice.
Everyone that has seen my cup always compliments me on it. I just might get more.
The hard part is choosing which ones. They all look so nice.
P.S., Typing while i sip on my new teacup.
Thank you,
Raymon
John F.

I am not great photographer but looks more amazing in reality .I notice the lip is shaped by the mouth of the cup.And for me is perfect size for gongfu style .Quality is prestige Is worth the money
Lee L.
I'm very happy with the cup I received. My only problem is that I received notice it was delivered but it was days before it was received. The problem was more on FedEx than your company
Barbara L.
Beautiful. The size is perfect in my hands and the cup holds the heat of my tea.
Meek A.
I bought the black with gold leaf for my sister … and KNEW I should have bought one for me at the same time … but have now done so … it is SUCH a beautiful piece and stunningly presented ! Thank you for sharing beauty in the world.

It´s my third buy with Tenmokus.
This time the cups are really different from the photos shown.
The golden leaves on the ground are not shiny and very thin.
Sorry

The cup’s design, both its shape and placement of the leaf, make for a pleasurable way to drink tea.
Scott K.
Very nice. Subtle. Well crafted.
Richard D.
This was bought as a gift for two sons who love elegance. Elegant this is as is the cushioned box each came in. I’m excited to see their reactions. There is a certain magical feeling that comes when you peer into the bottom of what seems a simple black cup.
Denise L.
Delivered fast and beautiful product. The containers the teacups came in kept them protected and I love the detail .
