This is the teaware to add for your cerebration of spring – Sakura Teapot & Teacups. The teapot and teacups are a garden green color and have a beautiful cherry blossom pattern. The built-in metal sieve is called "Obiami" and it wraps all the way around the inside of the tea pot. This type of sieve promotes a smooth and complete pour by preventing the wet leaves from being "stuffed" up close to the spout. Its 6 oz capacity is great for brewing a personal cup of Sakura Sencha, Sencha or Gyokuro. The matching teacup has a traditional shape and a 2 oz capacity. |
