These tea cups come as a set four, each with a different glaze and colour pattern. This isn’t necessarily traditional within Japanese culture but my thought was one of individualism and a reflection of the preferences of the tea drinker. These handleless cups are intimate in nature. Wrapping both hands around the cup and bringing the tea up to your lips in this way provides comfort and presence of mind. You can feel the tea’s warming glow in your hands before it touches your lips.\u00a0 As within the tradition of Japanese tea drinking culture, these cups are made of stoneware which is thicker and non-porous and allows the holder to feel the warmth but not the heat.<\/p>\n
