Tradition and Function in Harmony for Perfect Tea Brewing

Hitoshizuku Pot (White, Banko-yaki)

Crafted using traditional Banko-yaki techniques, the Hitoshizuku Pot ensures the ideal steeping process for Gyokuro and other fine teas. Its clay composition enhances the depth and smoothness of the tea while preserving the integrity of delicate flavours. The ergonomic design provides precise control when pouring, making it an essential tool for tea enthusiasts.

The Gyokuro Brewing Process

  • First Infusion (50-60°C)

    The tea’s sweetness and deep umami come to life, creating a smooth and luxurious first sip. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Second Infusion (65-70°C)

    The flavours deepen, introducing gentle vegetal notes with subtle savouriness. Steep for 1 minute.

  • Third Infusion (75-80°C)

    The final steep reveals a richer, slightly astringent character, finishing with a lasting, satisfying aftertaste. Steep for 30 to 45 seconds.
