These lovely little stackable tea cups hold the charm of a true classic that resonates with minimal look of the modern lifestyle. The rim is perfectly crafted with just the right thickness, letting you fully appreciate the aroma and texture of the drink without burning your lips.
Nankei Pottery specialize in Bankoyaki, a traditional Japanese pottery technique practised in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. The company produces high quality, durable kyuusu and tableware that reflects on Japanese lifestyle. Quality comes first when manufacutering items, and from molding to quality check, the entire process of making a single Kyuusu involves 13 procedures.
By not applying glaze on the inside, the surface of the teapot is uneven, which moderates the astringency, making the tea tastes milder and more mellow.
As the teapot is used the surface of the teapot's color will slowly deepen overtime. The built in hand crafter strainers are at the base of the spout which works as a strainer. Fine tea leaves/powders can pass through, the adding traditionally textured mouthfeel to the cup. If you would like a clearer cup, pour the tea through another strainer before serving serve.
Subtle and fragrant, wonderful to drink neat, but my personal favourite would be with soy/oatmilk, finally found a brand for my daily caffeine dose 😍
Love the shirt, nice quality cotton, super cute graphics! Washes well too
A good balance of sweetness and fruitiness. I usually like light roast beans but I enjoyed the medium roast summer blend very much.
