Want to find stillness in the chaos of everyday life?
Here are 7 premium Korean tea sets to help you find your zen while enjoying your favorite brew!
1. Chunmok Ceramic Tea Set
This Chunmok Ceramic Tea Set comes with one teapot, one tea pitcher and three teacups. All the pieces are handmade in South Korea.
Chunmok is same as Tenmoku but in Korean, which shows simple, yet bold shapes with ceramic glaze and random markings.
This teaware has some cool, unique leopard patterns that will add a little edge to your private tea ceremony.
Chunmok is also perfect for sipping Ssanghwa tea.
2. Flower Tea Set
This handicraft Flower Tea Set from Yeoju will definitely soothe your soul.
Yeoju is known for pottery and ceramics in South Korea, and the city even has the famous Yeoju Ceramic Art Complex (여주도예단지).
The good news is you can get this cute teaware delivered to your home without flying to Korea and driving to Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do. Although that would make a memorable trip.
3. Feldspar-Glazed Ceramic Tea Set
Feldspar-Glazed Ceramic Tea Set is perfect for both indoor and outdoor tea time!
Just imagine having a nice hot cup of green tea in your garden with this high-quality set.
Whether it’s sunny or rainy, it will totally set the tone for the day.
4. White-Glazed Buncheong Tea Set
White-Glazed Buncheong Tea Set is the right choice when you want to practice tea ceremony (darye).
Feel free to wear a comfy modern hanbok to complete that Korean darye vibe and make it extra special.
It’s NOT cultural appropriation. Koreans will be ecstatic to see you wearing hanbok, just don’t say it’s from anywhere else.
Also, buncheong ware is traditional Korean stoneware with the most Korean elements of shapes and patterns. It feels pure, yet energetic.
5. Peony Tea Set
This Peony Tea Set is another buncheong ware that has outstanding craftsmanship.
Peony flowers are not only gorgeous, but also represent prosperity and dignity in Korean culture. They were frequently used by royal families as well.
