CUSTOM TEA WARES & BREWING TOOLS
Our tea wares are made in partnership with skilled craftspeople who value clarity, balance, and daily use. From porcelain gaiwans to borosilicate glass boli and traditional matcha tools, each piece is designed to bring out the full character of loose leaf tea. These are the tools we use ourselves to brew with intention and consistency every day.
Common questions about our Tea wares
-
The basics are a brewing vessel, a way to filter the leaves, and something to pour from. A gaiwan or glass boli gives the leaves room to open and extract evenly, while a simple steel or porcelain filter works well for brewing directly in a mug. With these essentials, you can brew almost any loose leaf tea with ease.
-
A gaiwan offers the most control and the purest expression of the tea. A teapot is better for easy, larger servings, while a glass boli lets you watch the leaves open and is great for greens, whites, and lighter oolongs. The right choice depends on how hands-on you want the brewing process to feel.
-
A whisk, sifter, and scoop make a noticeable difference in texture and flavor. The whisk creates a smooth, fine foam, and the sifter prevents clumps from forming in the bowl. You can make matcha without these tools, but the results are less consistent.
-
Tea stays freshest when protected from air, light, heat, and moisture. An airtight container kept in a cool cabinet works best, especially if it's made from a neutral material like tin or porcelain. Proper storage preserves aroma and flavor much longer.
