Rooted in the historic pottery hub of Japan’s Toki City, Origami creates ceramic coffee tools by drawing on centuries of Mino pottery tradition. While known for its versatile porcelain coffee drippers, Origami also designs specialised ceramic serving ware. As part of the Sensory range, these Origami cups are designed to enhance the experience of specialty coffee’s aromas and flavours.

The Origami Sensory Flavour Cup was co-developed with 2019 World Brewers Cup Champion Du Jianing, who used it in her winning routine. This cup was specifically engineered with a wide bowl and tapered mouth to mimic aspects of a wine glass. The greater surface area of the internal shape concentrates volatile aromatic compounds while the narrow internal rim makes sure they reach your nose with every sip.

To make the most of the Sensory cup’s geometry, Origami recommends filling it to about one-third of its total capacity. Leaving two-thirds of the cup empty gives volatile aromas room to gather before drinking.

Like other vessels in the Sensory series, this cup is calibrated to influence your perception of core markers in coffee, including body, sweetness, acidity, and aroma.
