Umi Tea Sets review: Beauteaful and high qualitea

Puns aside, we are very happy with our Umi Tea Sets purchase.

For her birthday my wife wanted a traditional Chinese tea set, and we did quite a bit of shopping around. Most products were either too expensive or not at all authentic. We settled on Umi, and ordered a Ruyao tea set along with a few larger glazed cups. They arrived promptly and were very securely packaged, in perfect condition once we had unboxed them. We ordered a variety pack of traditional Chinese teas (both black and oolong), sat down on a sunny afternoon, and had our first little tea party.

We now use the Ruyao tea set regularly, and we love it! It's perfect for afternoon tea breaks, when we just want to slow down, relax, and enjoy ourselves for a few minutes. Works equally well whether it's just the two us or a larger group, since we bought multiple cup sizes. The colors, design, and craftsmanship are excellent—so much so that we keep it out on display on the counter-top. It is easy to use and straightforward to clean. Umi products look like they're built to last, and we look forward to many tea sessions in the years ahead.

ParTEA on!
