I’m rather particular & Umi passed the test
I absolutely love my teacup I purchased from Umi Tea Sets. The size, the color, and the way it feels in my hand truly adds so much to my morning tea experience. Easily my favorite tea cup I own! I have spent quite a bit of time throughout the years searching for and purchasing tea cups. But the thing you often find is either crazy shipping costs, cups and pots that look poorly constructed, or cups and pots that just don’t look good. If I’m going to invest into a tea cup, these are things that absolutely matter. I’m not someone that has a designated tea china cabinet or some special place that only my cups go. My stuff is in the cabinet along with heavy pint glasses and dense mugs from Target, much like the majority of everyone else. Wasting your time spending money on cheap cups when they are just being thrown in the cabinet alongside these others, it’s truly a waste. Purchase something reliable and while you’re at it make sure it’s beautiful. That is the Umi Tea Sets experience! I would imagine you are probably in a similar camp as I am, with similar factors at hand, Umi’s cups and tea pots easily check all of those boxes and I know you’ll have is greater than experience as I continue to have.
