Saliu Ryo Five-Piece Japanese Tea Set

The tea ceremony is considered the epitome of Japanese style and elegance, but is something only a small minority of Japanese get to practice and enjoy. For the rest of the people, drinking tea is a much more informal thing that is part of their routine at home or work. That doesn't mean, though, that they don't appreciate having it served from a nice, stylish teapot in a beautifully crafted cup. Like those included in the Saliu Ryo Five-Piece Japanese Tea Set!

Made in Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture in a style that has been around since the late Heian era (ca. 1100), the Saliu Ryo Five-Piece Japanese Tea Set comprises a dark kyusu teapot, two matching yunomi cups, and two wooden coasters. With a capacity of about 300 ml (11.2 fl oz), the kyusu is just right for serving one or two persons, and its traditional shape with the handle on the side makes pouring easy. All the items in the seat are handmade, so you can truly appreciate the craftsmanship as you enjoy your tea!
