Flavor Enhancement with Naked Pottery
Why does coffee, tea, wine, spirits, etc. taste better in a high-fired unglazed cup than in glass?
The unique surface of our unglazed cup has properties that attract oxygen. This oxygen enters any liquid poured over the surface of the clay, and breaks down the flavonoids. This process makes the flavor and aroma more available to our senses.
Watch this video of Darby (The Gnome who started it all) explaining the process.
Now you get to taste the difference for yourself! Visit us Saturday morning at the farmers market in Port Townsend, Sunday morning at the farmers market in Ballard or place your order here.
When you receive your hand crafted, one of a kind dish, simply place a small amount of your favorite beverage in a glass and also in your naked pottery cup. First sip from the glass, then sip from the pottery, and then from the glass again, and taste the difference for yourself.
With over 14,000 taste tests conducted, most people report that drinking from the pottery tastes less acidic, smoother, and has a more full bodied flavor.
