Wooden mugs for your daily cup of tea.

The gently rounded shape was actually shaped by tracing the lines of an egg. Takahashi Kogei's Cara mug has a beautiful appearance, with the natural shape gently added by artisans.

Every time you touch the smooth, soft wood surface, your heart will relax. The light, easy to handle, and hard to break are the charms of wood. It is also gentle on the mouth, and brings out the mellow flavor of tea and coffee. The handle is easy to grip firmly, so it is easy to hold even when filled with hot drinks, and it is also practical as a mug. It is a vessel filled with the warmth of natural materials and comfort that makes you want to use it every day.

Smooth and gentle wooden vessels

Cara mugs are made from Hokkaido-grown shina wood and carefully turned one by one on a potter's wheel. The name "Cara" comes from the egg shell. The shape was created by tracing an egg, and features a natural roundness that fits comfortably in the hand. It is a shape that you will never tire of and will want to use for a long time.

The material, shina wood, has a beautiful, smooth, white wood grain. It is so soft that you will want to roll it in your hand when you touch it with your fingertips. It has a low thermal conductivity, so even if you put a hot drink in it, the heat is transferred to your hand slowly, and it is extremely easy to hold. It is light and hard to break, so it can be used safely as a dish for small children. The surface is coated with polyurethane paint for tableware, which is also used for school lunch dishes, so it is easy to clean.

The time spent slowly drinking tea from a wooden mug has a mysterious way of relaxing your mind. Why not take advantage of the property that it does not cool easily and spend a relaxing time enjoying conversation?
