The Banko Kiln Sencha Tea Set is a traditional Japanese tea set designed for enjoying authentic Sencha green tea. This vintage Japanese tea set includes a ceramic teapot and two porcelain cups, all handcrafted from iron-rich Banko pottery clay originating from the Edo period. The Banko Kiln Sencha Tea Set offers a unique tea experience by mellowing the flavor of green tea, enhancing its taste and aroma. The set comes beautifully presented in a tea gift box, making it an ideal present for tea lovers and collectors.

This signed Banko pottery set features a reddish-brown iron clay teapot measuring approximately 3.3 inches high, 6.5 inches wide, and 5.9 inches deep (8.5cm × 16.5cm × 15cm), weighing 11oz (312g). The two Japanese porcelain cups are 3.7 inches tall and 3 inches wide (9.5cm × 7.5cm), each weighing 6.2oz (175g). The teapot and cups are decorated with delicate fine lines and mesh-like marks, with all pieces signed in Kanji characters to verify authenticity. The white-glazed interiors of the cups allow the vibrant green color of Sencha tea to shine through.

Recent studies show that teapots made from this iron-rich clay improve the taste of green tea by softening its bitterness, making every cup smoother and more enjoyable.
