Perfect for home use, this set invites you to brew with intention and experience the beauty of Japanese tea traditions—refined, functional, and rooted in centuries of craftsmanship.
Brewing Instructions (Gong Fu Style):
Add approximately 2 teaspoons (about 5–7 grams) of tea to the teapot. Brew for 10–30 seconds for the first infusion, adjusting time based on the tea type and personal taste. In Gong Fu brewing, a higher leaf-to-water ratio is used, which allows for shorter steeps and multiple infusions.
Each infusion is meant to fill the small tasting cups, and the same leaves are re-brewed many times. With each round, the tea will gradually reveal new layers of aroma, texture, and flavor.
Traditionally, the brewed tea is poured from the teapot into a fairness pitcher (cha hai, sold separately) before serving. This ensures an even strength and consistent flavor for all guests. Pouring directly into cups may result in uneven extraction, as the first cup poured will be weaker and the last stronger.
Care Instructions:
Before first use, season your teapot by brewing tea with it and allowing the leaves to sit for a short time, then discard the liquid. Repeat once or twice. This helps prepare the clay and enhance future brews.
For daily care, rinse only with hot water and allow the teapot to air dry completely. Do not use soap or detergents, as the porous material may absorb odors and affect the flavor of your tea.
