Tea service is an absolutely integral component of the art of hospitality known as Omotenashi. Hosts will sometimes even tailor their selection of teapot and cup to the tastes of their guest, and the relationship they share. Omotenashi's Gifu teapots are made from Mino-Yaki porcelein, with a wrapped willow handle and a stainless steel filter. The teapot features a 500ml capacity, and comes packaged in a raw card gift box decorated with Omotenashi branding, making this a gift for all occasions that will be forever cherished. Designed and made in Japan.
