ASUKA WHITE CYLINDRUS TEA SET

PERFECT SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN FORM AND FUNCTION

This teapot, crafted from black clay or white porcelain, is perfectly shaped. Its modern yet classic appearance allows it to fit into any setting, making it the star of all tea-related occasions. The rest of the set is also a nonplusultra of Japanese ceramic art. The lid closes airtight, and of course, the teapot does not drip. A small protrusion on the handle makes it very easy to hold, so you never have to touch the body of the pot and burn your fingers. The integrated sieve is made of the same material, finely meshed, and the loose tea can unfurl freely in the pot. In the dark teapot, the iron particles of the clay react with the tea, promoting a soft, mellow taste. It is manufactured in Aichi Prefecture from a type of clay rich in iron.
