Tea Accessories

Green tea should not be infused with boiling water. However, we recommend boiling the water once, as this makes it softer and reduces the lime content. To cool the water down, the Japanese then use so-called yuzamashi - cooling vessels with a spout. By decanting the water, the temperature drops a little faster and the elegant, simple vessel looks good with any tea set. Tip: if you want to fill several cups, you can pour the tea into the cooling vessel first and then pour it out. This ensures that the tea is equally strong in all cups. And if the cups are already full but there is still tea left in the pot, the tea can be stored temporarily in the cooling vessel without it becoming ‘bitter’ in the pot due to excessive infusion time. This cooling vessel has a slightly uneven, corrugated surface with practical recessed grips and a matt, dark surface. The thick-walled clay is easy to handle even in hot temperatures. Dimensions Capacity 260 ml 14 x 10 x 11 cm

Round tray with red Negoro lacquer. Dimensions 21cm diameter Please note that there may be slight variations in size and colour during the handcrafted production process.

Black kyusu with a finely textured surface. The incised leaf decoration is emphasised by the light clay-coloured rim. Japanese Kyusu side handle teapots are ideal for brewing green tea. The tea leaves can unfold freely in the pot and are held back in the pot by an integrated sieve in front of the spout during infusion. Thanks to the fine-meshed integrated stainless steel sieve in front of the spout, this Kyosu is also ideal for small-leaf Fukamushi teas. The filling quantity of the pot should be selected so that the tea can be completely distributed over the cup(s) provided and no water remains in the pot. The leaves remain in the pot and are then simply brewed again briefly with water for further infusions. Dimensions Capacity: 410 ml For 1-4 persons . Variations Please note that the shape, colour and size of the tea ceramics may vary slightly! This applies in particular to teapots, which are all at least partially handmade. Cleaning For cleaning in everyday use, simply knock out the tea set and rinse well with clean water also through the strainer. If, after prolonged use, the strainer has slowly become clogged, here are instructions for the care and cleaning of your teapot - for unadulterated tea enjoyment: Cleaning instructions for teapots.

Item No. 40700.1 In the production of this pot, the shape of classic Western teapots was taken up and adapted to the special requirements of green teas. The result is an elegant Banko-Yaki pot that combines Western and Eastern tea traditions.The tea leaves can unfold freely in the pot, which is quite generous at 480ml, and are retained in the pot by an integrated strainer before the spout during brewing. The leaves remain in the pot and are then simply briefly brewed again with water for further infusions. <b>Special features</b>.At Fujiso Manufactory, the holes in the clay strainer in front of the beak-like spout are poked by hand. This skill is still mastered by only a few masters in Japan - there are only 3 artists left who make such sieves in Japan. Clay screens of this type are particularly well suited for slightly larger leaf material. These include medium-strong or only lightly steamed teas such as Gyokuro, Shincha Yakushima, Hojicha, Oolong and other specialties. In the case of intensely steamed tea (fukamushi cha), the fine leaves may get stuck in the holes. The tall shape of the pot is particularly well suited to teas with a higher infusion temperature (such as benifuuki, hojicha, oolong and kocha) and promotes the development of aroma and fragrance.The handle and spout are shaped so that the pot fits comfortably in the hand and the tea can be poured without dripping. The notches on the lid ensure a smooth flow when pouring by improving air exchange.On the outside, the reddish-brown clay typical of the Banko-Yaki style is unglazed, while a light, pale green glaze has been applied to the inside. This glaze was specially developed to facilitate cleaning and to allow the aroma of the prepared teas to develop without external influences and not to settle in the porous clay. Thus, the pot can be used for alternating teas with intense aroma without it lingering on the next tea. <b>Filling capacity</b>450ml, for 1-5 personsThe filling quantity of the pot should be chosen so that the tea can be completely distributed to the ready cup(s) and no water remains in the pot between infusions.The filling quantities are measured to the rim - the actual amount in daily use is slightly smaller. <b>Deviations</b>.Please note that the shape, color and size of tea ceramics may vary slightly!This is especially true for teapots, which are all at least partially handmade. <b>Cleaning</b>To clean the teapot after everyday use, simply tap the teapot against your palm to loosen the tea and shake it out. Rinse well with clear water, also through the strainer. If the strainer has become clogged after longer use, you will find instructions here on how to care for and clean your teapot - for undiminished tea enjoyment: Cleaning instructions

Item No. 40702.1 Hitoshizuku translates as "one drop" and refers to the drop-like shape of the pot.

Item No. 40180.1 Tea roaster (Horoku) for your homemade Hojicha! Simply fill the Horoku with the tea of your choice and roast on low temperature on your gas stove. Shake the Horoku a few times and enjoy the fantastic smell in between. Take off the heat once you have reached the desired degree of roasting. This may be just slightly bronzed or roasted to a dark brown colour depending on your taste we recommend to prepare a little cuppa in different stages of roasting to experience the full range of aroma Hojija has to offer!

The KEIKO Hojicha is made of a blend of Kabusecha from the first and second picking.

Item No. 42200 The Ooika- Cold brewer for the preparation of drip tea can be used with hot OR cold water. However, it is ideal especially for cold brew green tea highlighting the rich yet sweet green fragrance of high quality Kabusecha, known amongst tea-connoisseurs as Ooika. The Cold brewer consists of two glass vessels which are connected with a rubber base with a small opening, which lets the water drip into the stainless steel strainer underneath and then into the lower vessel. To prepare your cold drip Green Tea measure 2-3 teaspoons of tea into the sieve (make sure the tea covers the bottom of the strainer evenly) and fill the upper vessel with 600 to 900ml of water. You can also use ice cubes to make a Kouridashi-brew, either letting them melt slowly to drip over the tea or just add them to your tea once its ready. The preparation takes between 25 and 45 minutes. You can adjust the speed by pushing the little knob deeper into the rubber base to slow the water flow or pulling it back out to speed it up. Best suited for this type of preparation is deep steamed (fukamushi) Kabusecha from an early picking, as these will best release the aroma and all the valuable ingredients of the tea but also the least astringency. Our Tip: Serve the cold drip tea in wine-glasses to surprise your dinner guests with a tasty refreshing alternative to alcohol!

The modern, elegant glass teapot is particularly easy to use thanks to a built-in filter on the lid. As with Kyusu pots, the tea leaves have plenty of room to develop freely and release their extract into the water - and you can watch them do so wonderfully! The glass pot is ideally suited for both hot infusions and mizudashi preparation with cold water. Just remember that for hot infusion, the water should be poured out completely after each infusion to prevent the leaves from continuing to steep and making later infusions bitter. For cold brew tea, the infusion time is less relevant, as the bitter substances dissolve less in cold water, while the sweet theanine develops particularly well at low temperatures. The infusion time is highly dependent on the tea; for Fukamushi green tea, just a few minutes are enough for an invigorating, bright green iced tea! Try also "Infused Water" with e.g. cucumber, lemongrass, ginger or mint in the pot - a pleasure in summer! A video of the pot in action can be found here.
