Kyusu
At the venerable age of 80, Japanese ceramist Gyokko is still an active artist whose energy do not seem to fade. He manages to keep in artistic vision: offering teapots that are both affordable, artisanal and complex.
Supported by his son and a few other artisans under his guidance, Gyokko specializes in affordable teapots: "My objective is to work together as a team in order to offer handmade teapots to everyone. I really believe that Japanese tea offers its full potential in this type of teapot."
Made with local clay from the coastal town of Tokoname, the teapot is not glazed thus the interior is slightly porous. We love the result: as authentic as the craftsman that created it.
Diameter of the opening: 6.5 cm
Height: 8.25 cm
Senchado technique

Kyusu from Mr. Yamada | Hinata
There are a rare few adamant potters in Tokoname that still insist on mastering every step of the artisanal process, taking it as far as making their own clay. Yamada is one of these potters.
Double Wall Glass Cup | Aura
This double wall cup, exclusive to Camellia Sinensis, conserves the warmth of the tea for longer, without depriving you of the pleasure of admiring the colour of the infusion.
Gyokuro Tamahomare
Three weeks before hand harvesting, shade structures which filter out up to 90% of sunlight are placed over the tea to develop what is commonly called in Japan "the taste of the shadows. The result is a tea weak in tannins, highly complex and aromatic.
Sencha Tatsuyama Organic
From the great prefecture of Shizuoka (Japan), this is an ideal green tea for Sencha lovers, with its notable flavours of vegetables and savoury broth.
