This porcelain Arita-yaki tea set includes one kyusu (teapot) and five matching yunomi (teacups), each glazed in a brushed light brown. The teapot has a ceramic debeso (half-spherical) filter, which compared to a steel mesh filter, introduces no metallic flavours to the tea. The teacups have a white interior which lets you see the true colour of the tea. Comes with the original paulownia wooden box called a 'kiribako'.
