Collection: Art of Tea

In some countries like Japan, tea tasting has been a true art for several centuries. The Japanese tea service is an essential element for tasting it. The Japanese tea sets offered by Yugen Lab are mainly traditional in style. These will delight all people sensitive to Asian culture and decoration. We offer services consisting of teapots and matching cups or simply a set of cups. These small cups used to enjoy tea are called yunomi. Yugen Lab adopts a qualitative approach to offer you Japanese tea services handcrafted by Japanese master craftsmen passionate about the desire to create quality products that will bring you into the heart of Japanese culture.

Since humans discovered tea centuries ago, tea culture has included tea storage boxes. Green tea, considered precious and refined for the Japanese, is very sensitive to light, heat and humidity. It must therefore be protected in order to preserve all the flavors of the tea.

Originally these Japanese tea boxes were made with several layers of wood and cherry bark. Over time, Japanese craftsmen brought new techniques to the manufacture of Japanese tea boxes in order to arrive at the type of manufacturing that we know today. Those that we offer on the Yugen Lab website are airtight and opaque. They are perfect for storing tea. These Japanese tea boxes are also a way for artisans to show off their artistic talent by producing Japanese tea boxes in various colors and patterns.
