Chocolate Brown Shoshi Mug

Japanese-born, Los Angeles-based artist and ceramicist Shoshi Watanabe creates timeless pieces that marry Japanese technique with California ease. To celebrate the launch of The Cacao, we asked him to design the perfect vessel for enjoying this rich, grounding beverage—though it’s equally suited for teas, soups, and snacks. Finished in a glaze that reflects The Cacao’s deep brown hue and shaped with a soft, rounded form, this versatile mug embodies the warmth and character of our nourishing blend. Each piece is hand-thrown by Shoshi himself, a one-of-a-kind expression of the beauty found in handmade work. Elevate your cacao ritual.
