The argument for Bizen is not that it belongs in a vitrine. It is that a thousand-year-old craft can hold your morning coffee and be better for it. The micro-porous body keeps heat far longer than porcelain and the iron in the clay smooths the bitterness of a dark roast in the same way it smooths tannic tea.
