To commemorate the resort’s third anniversary, guests will be able to purchase one of ten limited edition Aman Kyoto Original Tea Sets produced by Mr Dairiku Amae, a tea master who presides over Kyoto’s Totosha tea house. Each set contains everything required to hold a traditional yet refined ceremony, including a tea bowl, teaspoon, whisk, tea bag bowl, tea caddy, water bowl, matcha green tea and an Aman Kyoto water bottle.
A ritualistic process dating back to the 9th century, the tea ceremony serves as a simple pathway to mindfulness, providing a moment away from the hustle and bustle of daily routine. The Aman Kyoto Original Tea Set encapsulates the tranquil forest gardens and the slow pace of life at the resort. Designed and created by Mr Amae and the young craftsmen of Kyoto, it offers a portable escape, ideal for gathering with friends or for a moment’s self-care.
