This is the "AJIWAI" coffee cup, a collaboration between Blue Bottle Coffee and the Kagoshima-based ceramic brand "ONE KILN." "AJIWAI" is a collaboration coffee cup crafted by "ONE KILN," a ceramic brand meaning "one kiln," using soil from Bōnozu, Kagoshima, and Amakusa pottery stone from Kumamoto. "AJIWAI" allows you to experience more of the coffee's flavor when you take a sip. This everyday-use vessel combines the earthy texture and warmth characteristic of ceramics with the strength of porcelain. Made uniformly and simply, it highlights the unique characteristics of the local materials: Bōnozu soil from Bōnozu, located on the southwestern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula, a land with a warm climate facing the beautiful sea, where rich soil is nurtured by mountain spring water and sea breezes, and Amakusa pottery stone from Kumamoto. This series was born from the desire to directly convey the individuality of the local soil and the culture of the land. The glaze is also kept thin to emphasize the natural texture of the clay, allowing you to better experience Blue Bottle Coffee's concept of "aroma" and "flavor." One of the charms is the enjoyment of the aging process, where the cup develops a matte texture over time. ＜AJIWAI＞ ・Allows you to experience more of the flavor when you take a sip. ・You can feel the change in flavor due to temperature changes, and enjoy the flavor of iced coffee with ice. ・You can enjoy coffee with complex flavors. ・The wide opening allows the coffee to spread more widely in your mouth, emphasizing the perception of acidity and sweetness. ＜Product Information＞ Coffee Cup AJIWAI Material: Porcelain and ceramic Size: 85mm (drinking opening), 78mm (height) Capacity: 200cc (full) Country of Origin: Japan (Kagoshima) *Slight variations may occur.
