The Aroma Mug is a Japanese ceramic coffee cup shaped so the rim tilts the head back as you sip. The steeper angle sends coffee toward the back of the tongue, where acidity registers most strongly, so it is built to flatter light-roast, fruit-forward beans. It is sold without a saucer. The Vintage White Ash, Vintage Black and Vintage Green glazes are formulated to fire with kiln variation, so iron spots and uneven color are expected and each cup differs. It is a single cup for drinkers who want to taste a coffee's acidity, not a full dinnerware set.

Of the three, it makes you tilt your chin up the highest when you drink coffee.
Because of that angle, the coffee flows into the mouth with more force and touches the back of the tongue. This makes the acidity easier to notice.
The Vintage White Ash, Vintage Black and Vintage Green colors use a glaze that changes color in the kiln. Iron specks (black dots) and uneven color can appear, and each piece differs. These are not defects.
