The Wabi-Sabi Way
If your afternoon tea time is putting you to sleep, then perk it up with a cultural boost from the Wabi-Sabi cups. Before you incorporate these modest pieces into your routine, you should first understand the aesthetics behind their apt name.
For centuries, the Japanese have associated the word wabi with rustic elegance, while the term sabi refers to the beauty of imperfections that arise from the wear and tear of daily use. So, next time you sit down for a steaming cup of green tea, trade in the refinement of English tradition for the simpler ideals of the East. (Set of 4 available at sponsor VivaTerra for $39.)
