Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this cool thing I found. You know how I’m always on the lookout for neat stuff for my place, right? Well, I stumbled upon these Japanese tea cups, and they’re not just any tea cups. These have a little surprise at the bottom!

I started looking for new tea cups because I just wanted to freshen up the ones I use every day. I started going to some local shops and browsing online shops, just looking for something different.
What I did first was read up on Japanese tea cups. They are called “yunomi,” and they’re these handleless cups that are great for just chilling and enjoying your tea. They come in all sorts of shapes, mostly cylindrical, and they have this turned foot thing at the bottom. I thought that was pretty neat, so I dug a little deeper.
Here’s what I did to find these unique cups:
- I visited a bunch of local stores that sell home goods. I figured that would be a good place to start.
- I also spent hours online, scrolling through different websites that specialize in Japanese stuff.
- I asked around in some online groups I’m in. You know, the ones where people share their cool finds and stuff.
Then, one day, I hit the jackpot. I found these cups that have a face etched into the bottom. Can you believe it? It’s so subtle, but once you see it, you can’t unsee it. I was immediately sold. I bought a set right then and there.
When I got them home, I made myself a cup of tea to try them out. They felt great in my hands, and that thin lip really does make the tea taste better. It’s like the tea just glides onto your tongue. And then, as you finish your tea, you see that little face looking back at you. It’s such a cool detail.

Why I love these cups
These cups are more than just something to drink from. They add a whole new level to the tea-drinking experience. It’s like a little secret that only you know about until you show someone else. I love how they combine practicality with this unique artistic touch. Plus, they’re just fun to have around.
So yeah, that’s my latest find. I’m really happy with these Japanese tea cups, and I think anyone who loves tea would appreciate them. They’re a simple pleasure, but they make my daily tea time a little more special.
