Kutani Japanese Sakura Tea Set by Taishi Kiln

This elegantly painted tea set, crafted from Kutani ware, celebrates the beauty of cherry blossoms while enhancing your experience with premium-grade Japanese green tea. Kutani ware, a traditional ceramic craft with over 350 years of history from the southern region of Ishikawa Prefecture, is renowned for its vivid overglaze technique called Gosai (five-colored). Each piece in this set is decorated with intricate, three-dimensional designs of cherry blossoms in shades of pink and purple, popping against the smooth, white porcelain surface.

This tea set includes a Houhin teapot, a Yuzamashi water cooling pitcher, and two teacups. The Houhin, a handle-less teapot, is designed specifically to brew high-quality Japanese teas like Gyokuro, which require lower infusion temperatures. Its built-in Sasame porcelain strainer allows for a gentle infusion, bringing out the full flavor of premium tea leaves.

The triangular Yuzamashi is a small pitcher used to cool boiled water to the ideal temperature for brewing, ensuring your tea is infused to perfection. The two accompanying cups, slightly smaller with a wide diameter, allow you to fully appreciate the rich aroma and flavors of Japanese tea.

Whether for personal use, special occasions, or as a gift, the Kutani Japanese Sakura Tea Set by Taishi Kiln combines traditional Kutani craftsmanship with a timeless design that will be cherished for years to come.
