Having drank this tea over many years, the high quality has not dimished at all. Sometimes taken hot, at other times steeped in cold water over a period of 3 hours, or longer if left in the fridge. Lovely texture and taste. Highly recommended!

An exceptionally intricate work of art, very different from the others on show. All are beautifully designed and produced, so it just comes down to personal taste. Read Sarah Longo's review for an in-depth report.

A nicely designed and useful item. No need for a thermometer or guess work. It really does cool the temperature as in accordance with the recommendations; depending on what kind of tea is being brewed. Beautifully packed as usual. Highly recommended! David

These cups arrived quickly. Beautiful, minimal, yet secure packaging. Really nice cups, lovely to look at and touch. I AM ALREADY HOOKED ON HIBIKI-AN. It would take an awful lot to un-hook me! Very best wishes to all at HIBIKI-AN.
