Drinking a good cup of tea is almost a tradition in many countries, so if you are also a tea lover, you probably know that it is often linked to relaxation, enjoying the moment, and having a peaceful break with yourself or with others. For example, many types of tea are designed to help relieve stress, headaches, and other discomforts.
If you ask me, teas like chamomile, lavender, and green tea are some of the ones I usually associate with better focus and reduced stress levels. So you can always invite your loved ones for a nice cup of tea; the idea is to create that relaxing experience. It is not only about the tea itself, the environment also matters.
Now, if you serve tea in a regular cup, I do not think you are going in the right direction, because you can have a luxury experience with complete options like the Umi Tea Sets tea set. Basically, it is a set that includes everything you need to store and serve tea.
What is included in the set
- 1 glass teapot (530 ml) with a golden crane design
- 6 small cups (75 ml each)
- 1 serving pitcher for evenly pouring tea (380 ml)
- 1 glass strainer to filter tea leaves
- 1 tray to organize the set
- 1 set of tea preparation utensils
As you may have noticed, the entire set is inspired by Japanese culture, which is known for being reflective, and for valuing good fortune and longevity. So, in addition to having a great tea set, you also get one that is inspired by Japanese culture with a meaningful design. The set we were sent and used was the Ink Glass Tea Set with Golden Crane and you can see the design below of the teapot and two of the cups.
From a technical point of view, the set is quite durable. The borosilicate glass used is strong enough to withstand sudden temperature changes of up to 180°C (356°F).
This was just a charming set to use when sitting down with someone outside on a beautiful spring or summer day and enjoy a glass of tea with. It is a great purchase both for yourself if you enjoy tea in good company, and also a great gift idea for someone who enjoys tea as well.
