The Concept Behind The Flavor Enhancing Cups

Can color change the way we taste? The Tasting Cups are designed to enhance your drinking experience through color psychology.

Each cup is handcrafted and carefully glazed to subtly enhance specific flavor notes, based on research in crossmodal perception, the scientific study of how our senses interact. Studies show that color can influence how we perceive taste. I’ve used this insight to create cups that don’t just hold coffee—they shape how it’s experienced.

Suggested Pairing Combinations:
🍒PINK Ceramic Cup – Pairs well with Peach, Cherry, Fig, and Apricot
🍯YELLOW Ceramic Cup – Complements Caramel, Chocolate, Hazelnut, and Cinnamon
🍃GREEN Ceramic Cup – Enhances Green Apple, Floral, Blueberry, and Grassy notes

This kind of sensory design is already used in gastronomy and wine tasting, and I believe it has a natural home in the world of specialty coffee.

By combining research-driven design with local craftsmanship, these cups don’t just look good, they make a measurable difference in how coffee and tea are experienced. Already used in cafés around the world, they offer a simple yet effective upgrade to daily rituals, bringing out fuller flavors with every pour.

They are being used in cafés across Paris and Amsterdam. They are fully food-safe and dishwasher-friendly. Try it for yourself and discover how color can change the way you taste.
