Mizuiro Yuzu Tea Set - Handmade Tea Cup & Organic Yuzu Green Tea

The Mizuiro Yuzu Set is built around a shared philosophy: that the finest things come from patient hands, respected land, and time-honoured tradition. Every piece in this set has a provenance worth knowing.

MIZUIRO Tall Cup

It is handcrafted in Shigaraki, one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns (Rokkoyō), a region whose pottery tradition stretches back over eight centuries. Each cup is individually crafted by Shiga artisan. Its signature azure glittering glaze is inspired by the still waters of Lake Biwa. The result is a vessel that is never quite the same twice: variations in colour, texture, and shading are not imperfections which are proof of the human hand behind it.

Tall and gently tapered, the form concentrates aroma beautifully, making it the ideal companion for hot or cold tea. LINK

KATSURA Organic Yuzu Green Tea (Kamairicha)

A pan-fired green tea, a style far rarer than Japan's more common steamed varieties. Kamairicha carries a softly toasted, naturally low-astringency character that forms a smooth, golden base for the bright lift of Yuzu peel. Clean, crisp, and quietly complex.

This tea came from the same extraordinary origin: the mountains of Gokase, Miyazaki at 600–700m elevation, farmed by a family awarded Japan's highest agricultural honour — the Emperor's Cup (天皇杯). Grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and packed in plant-based, compostable Soilon tea bags, they represent Japanese tea craft at its most considered. LINK
