Tenmokus Reviews

I bought this as a Christmas present. I received a call from my friend immediately raving about how much he loves his tea cups. Each was packaged superbly and are a real hit with him and his friends. I have no problem recommending these tea cups and Tenmokus' products. I'm an extremely happy customer.

It is absolutely beautiful; the photos don’t do it justice. The craftsmanship is remarkable as you can see in my photo. It’s heavier and more substantial than I expected, which for me is a good thing, and it has a larger capacity than my others. The leaf design on the inside makes drinking my tea even more pleasant. It’s my new favorite!

I bought three tea cups this holiday season. Two for gifts and this one for myself. All are beautiful. The gifts were received happily and my own is a pleasure to use.

Stunning piece! Craftsmanship is exquisite. The profile is a beautiful rounded shape that tapers beautifully to a delicate foot that exposes the dark, smooth raw clay. The outside glaze is a beautiful multicolor metallic finish with crystal patterns and a slight slump at the terminus. The golden glaze on the inside and the rim are equally stunning and beautiful. The inside has the crystal pattern as well where the rim is smooth. This cup feels so good in the hand and is a pleasure to look ...

I bought Magic and Golden Magic. The same cup only Golden has the gold inside and rim. This glaze has a slight tendency to slump at the bottom and you can see on my cup how there is the ever so slight development of a drip. I love this!!! Such a nice glaze that breaks into a metallic purple at the rim. The cup feels so good in the hand and is a pleasure to use and just to look at.

Right now have it on display but will enjoy a cup of tea one of these days, with the colorful cranes. Thank you for your creative, artistic and beautiful workmanship. All who have seen it love it.

I love the shape of the Peacock teacups and the colours are nice. I bought one with the silver blossom and one without as gifts. Colours become brighter in the sun :D

Wow. Gorgeous. And so cute, this thing is tiny. The dimensions are listed in the description so it shouldn't have been a surprise, but. Adorable, shiny, intricate coloring and design. I just cuddle and stare at it for minutes on end, it's irresistible.

This is my first purchase with Tenmokus and I’m totally satisfied and amazed with the quality and the craftsmanship of the products . I got both version of the tea cups with the crane - a beautiful creature popular in Japanese fairytales representing good fortune and longevity. They are simply beautiful, elegant art to me more than cups. I love how each cup is packed Individually packed and the shipping was speedy. I will for certain recommend Tenmokus to all my friends and family. I looking f...

It was an early Christmas gift for a friend in Japan. Though someone commented the design was kind of old fashion but the receiver loves (she is using it now) it. It looks beautiful and she was asking is there a meaning to why is there a leaf design in the cup? 🤔

This cup is SO beautiful. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my mom but I’m going to order one for myself as well. This is the third cup that I’ve ordered from this company and they are all beautiful, arrived so quickly, and were packed very carefully. I truly cannot recommend them enough.

I am a potter and I’m so thrilled to have these beautiful tea cups with glazes which are so amazing. I have already gave two tea cups to my daughter-in-law, another potter, as a birthday present, she was thrilled, and enjoyed reading the process of creating these functional tea cups. Thank you for the lovely boxes which they arrived in, every detail made it more special. Happy Holidays to you and your family, and hoping for Peace on this Earth we all share.

This tea cup is so beautiful. It seems to have an iridescence to it. It certainly lives up to it's name, Dream. I like the fact the shape is different from the other teacups I purchased. I have several different Tenmoku tea cups and they are all beautiful works of art.

The Emerald green cup I got for myself and the orange cup I purchased for a dear friend for Christmas. I enjoyed the beauty of the cup in my hands, as I sipped tea throughout the evening. I posted this picture to my friends on Facebook and they thought the cup was exquisite!

Bought this for my son for Christmas. Not only did it show up faster than expected, it is really made with exceptional quality. My youngest son saw it and now I’m going to surprise him with one too! You can’t go wrong with these beautiful, functional pieces of art!

I have been eying these beauties out for a while, and finally decided to buy them for myself as a Christmas present. Couldn't be more happier. I knew they were tiny. So I wasn't surprised. Quality over quantity any time. Thank you Team Tenmokus, for creating such wonderful pieces.

The order was delivered quickly and efficiently and beautifully packaged in a box, along with a booklet explaining the "13 steps for making Tenmoku" which is a wonderful touch. The cup is absolutely beautifully crafted and designed and is my absolute favourite. I have ordered more to give as gifts to family and friends!

I received this beautiful tea cup for Christmas. I am now completely obsessed with these tea cups and I hope to add to my collection. They are just so incredibly beautiful.

Love the look, weight and drinking out of the cup, really well balanced, love the weighty feel of the cup and the lip is great to drink from, could not be happier, perfect to have when I read my morning paper and check up on overnight emails/reading

Palm Coffee Cup

Martin C.

Very attractive tea cup, the pattern has several colours all swirled together. It's quite dark so looks better with lighter teas better in my opinion. Fluted rim isn't the most practical to drink from but I don't spill. Good heat retention too.

Ten Stars! Five for an amazing product and five for the best customer service. The first Yohen cup I received had a true crack in the glaze, not just a blemish. I reported this along with photos and immediately a replacement was sent. The Yohen cup has such an unbelievable glaze. It is silky and deeply colored highlighted my the molecule-like patterning. Even the feel in one's had is silky. Just Amazing.

I order 4 cups from Tenmokus and my favorite is the Aurora. It just have the perfect weight, the shape just fit in the hand perfectly, the thickness of the bowl is thick enough to reduce the heat transfer to the hand, and yet not to thick to appreciate drinking from it. This is my perfect match.

Aurora

Glenn T.

It’s the size of a softball in my hands. I looked and compared the volume held to the other pots. Nice personal size to enjoy some tea with someone. The design matches well with other teacups available.

Sunrise and sunset next to each other. It does matter the lighting to see the beauty of the glaze. Smooth on the lips and holds the heat. I wonder which pair I will get next. Will it be for volume or beauty of the glaze?

Love this cup, the verdant green and subtle red/brown accent on the edges is very natural. The lighter colour looks good with light and dark teas. This cup is chunky, took a minute to adjust to drinking from the thick walls which curve slightly inward but it holds heat like nothing else. This does mean it needs a decent pre-warming before pouring tea into it. it's slightly smaller than the stated 130 ml, I can get 115 ml into it brim full but that's fine for me as I'm generally pouring 70 - 100 ...

When I saw this cup the first time I knew that there was only one option: I need this! I love the motive of cherry blossoms and this cup reminds me on it everytime I look at it. It feels good to hold it in hands an drink tee from it. The cup is a real masterpiece and I will keep it as my new treasure.

What a beautiful work of art this cup is. The Peacock cup has a pleasing shape and a striking glaze. I love the contrast and how the globular shapes shimmer in the light.

Andrea W.

I'm not sure why but I suspect I'm hooked on the sheer beauty of these bowls. I love holding one up to the light and seeing the look of a peacock's tail. In a world with a lot of ugliness it is good to have a piece of beauty that you possess.

The glaze on these are fantastic. They look every bit as good as the website photos. How often do we get products that look much different than their website? Also you can feel the density in your hands. A truly unique piece of earthenware!

Words cannot express this treasure. When I received the 'regular' Magic tea cup, I knew I had to get this one, too. It's exquisite! Both Magics are. It's still not my favorite, however. That honor still belongs to Yohen, for some reason. I also can't say which one I favor more, Magic or Golden Magic. They're both incredible.

The dragon artwork and center of the cup design make drinking a cup of tea a bolder experience. I look forward to many happy years with this lushly designed piece.

I have so many favorite teacups but the swirl is just mesmerizing. I bot a few swirl teacups, and also gift it. My friend was in awe!! Looking to buy a few more.

This was a wonderful surprise give for my wife on Mother’s Day. The rich colors, artwork and cranes are something she will appreciate for many years and hopefully hand down to our daughter.

This one is one of my favorites! It reminds me of Mustafar (Star Wars reference.) The contrast is striking and looks like magma peeking through breaks in lava crust. This and Yohen are my two current favorites.

Amazing artwork! The cup is more heavy then I expected therefor it has the advantage of keeping the tea warm for a longer period and it is nicer to handle because of it's weight.

Nice weight and feel to these cups. The saucers could be used by themselves as an elegant small plate for an amuse bouche. They are on the smaller size if you like a big coffee, but I love them.

A tea drinker, I finally found my perfect cup. Tenmoku offered this wonderful opportunity to fulfill my requirements - a sturdy, attractive tea-cup, with a unique and durable glaze. The company provides excellent and prompt shipping and spot-on customer service!

It's amazing how much the delivered teacups resemble the pictures on their website! Obviously they're still different because they're handcrafted, but the glaze effect alone is perfect in it's own right. Super quick delivery as well.
