Cast Iron Tea Cup Japanese Samurai Hobnail 50ml Iron Cup

Cast Iron Tea Cup — Japanese Samurai Hobnail 50ml

Small in size, significant in character. This cast iron tea cup is modeled after the bold hobnail patterns of samurai armor — a surface of raised studs that gives each cup a tactile, commanding presence. At 50ml, it is sized for the deliberate, unhurried pours of gongfu tea. With regular use, the iron gradually releases Fe²⁺ ions that soften water, sweeten the taste, and support your body's iron intake. Available in 5 distinct styles to mix, match, or collect.
