Handmade Glass Tea Cup & Saucer Cha No Yu, 2-piece, by Denis Guidone

Cha No Yu is an ancient Japanese art that refers to the tradition of preparing and serving powdered green tea in a highly stylized manner. What distinguishes the Japanese tea ceremony from any other ritual involving tea around the world is that, in the Japanese view, its purpose is not simply to prepare and drink tea. Instead, tea is a means to achieve harmony with nature and inner peace.
