Frequently Asked Questions
Does the color change happen only once?
No, you can repeat it as many times as you want! As soon as the cup reaches back to normal room temperature, the rich color fades away and the flowers are ready to bloom again.
Does the color change happen only with sake?
No, you can use any drink you wish such as water, tea, club soda or various alcoholic drinks. Just make sure the drink is at the right temperature. Depending on the variant you bought, the drink should be hotter than 113°F or colder than 71°F. For best results we recommend using a drink that you can easily see through.
At what temperature should I serve my drink to see the effect?
Depending on the variant you bought, the drink should be hotter than 113°F or colder than 71°F. For best results we recommend using a drink that you can easily see through.
What's causing the color change?
The cup is printed with a special food safe pigment that is sensitive to high or low temperatures. These are called thermochromic pigments and they change color to reveal their beauty at the right temperatures.
Is the cup microwave or dishwasher safe?
No, in order to protect the colors, please don't put your cups in the microwave or the dishwasher. For cleaning, we recommend gently hand washing the cups with soap and water.
HOW TO USE
Start with a cup that is at room temperature. Depending on whether you have the hot or the cold variant, make sure that your drink is either hotter than 113°F or colder than 71°F. Then slowly pour your drink into the cup and watch its flowers bloom before your eyes. Enjoy!
Warning: Do not place the cup in the microwave or the dishwasher.
ORIGINS
Hanami is the centuries-old Japanese practice of drinking under a blooming cherry blossom tree. This practice is said to have started during the Nara period of Japan (710-794). In the beginning, this custom was limited to the elite of the Imperial Court. But it soon spread to samurai society and, by the Edo period (1603-1868), to the common people as well. Nowadays, during hanami season, people have lunch and drink sake with friends and family under cherry blossom trees.
