Momiji Tea Cup

Light in the hand, warm against the lip — a cup that makes the tea taste better just by existing.

The Momiji Teacup (모미지 잔) sits in the long tradition of Korean Darye (다례) — the art of tea, where every vessel is chosen to serve the experience of drinking as much as the beverage itself. Fired at high temperature using traditional Korean clay and natural glazes, this cup achieves the kind of clean, elegant form that defines Korean ceramic restraint: no excess surface decoration, no unnecessary weight. Just the essential shape, refined over time. The word momiji itself carries the imagery of autumn maple leaves — an aesthetic of transience, seasonal beauty, and quiet attention to detail that is central to Korean minimalism. PEUM presents this cup as daily teaware rooted in artisan craft, made in South Korea by Tovy.

Hold it between both hands with a bowl of Korean green tea (녹차) on a slow Sunday morning — the lightweight ceramic warms quickly and holds the heat gently. It pairs naturally with a Cheong-a saucer or the celadon crane cup set, layering different Korean ceramic traditions into a curated teaware collection. The 8.3 cm diameter and 4.5 cm height make it the right scale for a considered small pour of espresso, clear tea, or cold brew.

For the person in your life who takes tea seriously — or who deserves to start. This cup is an invitation to slow down. High-fired in South Korea by Tovy. Microwave and dishwasher safe for daily use.
