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. This set of 5 Mino-Yaki ceramic teacups feature an earthy, rough outer texture with a variety of abstract brush-stroke designs. Being dishwasher and microwave safe, these are durable and easy to care for, and with their elegant black gift box with Omotenashi branding, this set can be a wonderful gift for all occasions that will be forever cherished.
