Tulipan — Tulip Sensory Cup, 300ml/10.1oz - Color Spot

300ml. Handmade slip-cast porcelain made in Glostrup, Denmark. Colours: Color Spot We originally designed this cup for a Greek barista competing in Brewers Cup. He wanted a tulip profile — the shape used on the competition circuit for a reason. The narrower top holds aroma above the liquid and channels it toward the nose, so fragrance comes through concentrated. The small flared rim still places coffee on the front of the tongue, but aroma is what this cup is built for. He'd spent months dialling in the coffee and needed a vessel that showed it properly. We made it for him, drank from it ourselves, and liked it enough to add it to the collection. This is the first time it's available outside that original run. The tulip shape isn't just tradition. A study by Carvalho & Spence (2018) served the same coffee in different cup shapes and found a tulip made aroma read as significantly stronger — for home brewers and professionals alike. The competition circuit landed on this shape for the same reason. Photos are for colour reference. Because every piece is mixed and poured by hand, the pattern on your cup will be different from the one in the photo. We ship from the batch at random.
