WDH Tea-Set - weiss

The tea ware is carefully made in Hasami-cho, Nagasaki, a pottery area with a history of over 400 years.

What is a Hobin? A teapot without a handle.
It is therefore particularly suitable for brewing high quality tea leaves such as Gyokuro and Kabusecha tea at low temperatures to slowly release the best aroma and flavor.

As one of the kyusu that changes the mood and atmosphere and brews the tea carefully, it is appreciated as a tea utensil that testifies to the care of the Japanese.
The tea leaves are not only drunk, but also finished with a small amount of soup broth, ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) or sudachi (Japanese citrus fruit) to take full advantage of the tea leaves` nutrients.

The lid is fluted and serves as a tea strainer. The holes near the spout improve air circulation and make it easier to pour and distribute the tea leaves for a tasty infusion.

The tea cups can be stacked in the bottle for easy storage, and the wide opening makes them easy to clean.

In the midst of your hectic daily life, why not relax and have a restful time with a careful tea brewing?

Sanada cord
It is said that the name Sanada-himo comes from the fact that Masayuki, the father of the warlord Yukimura Sanada, used it as a strong and durable cord. It is a noble cord as a traditional craft, woven with thick cotton yarn, warp and weft, in a flat and narrow pocket shape. Since ancient times, it has been used as a cord to fasten important things, such as the bottom cord of a sword, the decoration of armor, the obi clasp of a kimono, and the cord of a paulownia box for tea ceremony utensils.

Paulownia Wood Box
It has been revered as an auspicious tree since ancient times. It is said that the wood has an ignition point of over 400℃. In addition, the wood is little affected by the outside temperature and humidity, making it suitable for long-term storage and preservation of important items even in the four seasons of Japan. Because of this property, there are stories of clothing and other important items in paulownia chests that have survived fires and floods. Also, because it contains ingredients that are resistant to insects and corrosion, paulownia has been used for many years as a box to store antiques and works of art.
