Who We Are
Hi there!
My name is Kyle, and I love tea. More specifically, along with all kinds of tea, I adore hand-crafted, high quality tea ware, as I believe it adds magnitudes to the tea making experience.
I enjoyed my first hand-crafted piece of tea ware through a bowl of matcha from little tea shop in Kyoto, and since then I have been hooked on growing a personal collection; a mosaic of all the care and tradition that goes into every bowl that I get to use on a daily basis.
I have had the pleasure of learning much about the various styles of tea bowls - everything from the methods of shaping and glazing, all the way to the history of the kilns themselves - and my hope is that through Kosei Tea Ware, this joy can be shared with everyone!
What We Do
Our goal is to make the highest quality hand-made tea ware accessible to all in the United States. We do this by partnering directly with kilns and artisans in Japan, some continuing a tradition spanning generations.
Through these partnerships, we are able to…
Give recognition to these artisans and promote the appreciation of their craft by sharing their stories and the beauty of their work

Offer the lowest price possible for tea ware of this caliber
