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.

Senchado technique
Our tea advisors also recommend
Kamairicha Organic
From an organic culture on Kyushu Island, this green tea is produced by pan-fried method (kamairi), instead of the conventional Japanese method of steaming. This style of transformation gives a particular balance between bitterness and sweetness, exempt from the typical astringency found in Sencha style teas.
Sencha Mobata
Made in the traditional style of Shizuoka (Japan), this Sencha is one of our best sellers, year after year.
Sencha Asatsuyu Organic
Originating from the Miyazaki region in southern Japan, this Japanese green tea is ideal for an introduction to the sencha style. The leaves of the Asatsuyu cultivar have an enticing sweet, herbal aroma that invites you to enjoy this tea every day.
