Teapots, essential for good tea preparation
- Porcelain teapots are ideal for delicate teas, as they perfectly reproduce the aromas and retain a moderate amount of heat, thus avoiding any "cooking" of the leaves while keeping the tea at the right temperature for tasting.
- Glass teapots, which are becoming increasingly popular, have the advantage of allowing you to visually appreciate the evolution of the infusion and the beauty of the rehydrating leaves. As glass retains very little heat, it is best used for fragile teas (green, white, yellow).
- Vitrified stoneware teapots, with their ability to store heat, are more suitable for infusing teas that need a high temperature to bring out their best; such as wulong, black teas, dark pu'er teas and infusions.
- Enamelled cast-iron teapots are very similar to stoneware teapots, making them suitable for the same types of tea.
Cups and bowls for optimum enjoyment
- Yunomi Japanese teacup: a Japanese cup for everyday use without a handle, often in stoneware or porcelain, with traditional or modern designs. They are traditionally offered as a pair to newlyweds.
- Porcelain and ceramic teacups: A porcelain teacup is naturally elegant, and can also have a variety of designs. Ceramic cups, on the other hand, retain heat well.
- Matcha bowl (Chawan): Indispensable for preparing matcha, the matcha bowl is shaped to facilitate the use of a whisk. Its thickness is designed to regulate water temperature.
- Integrated infusers and transparent cups: practical accessories for infusing directly in the cup, with a steel or glass infuser. Transparent cups allow you to see the quality of the infusion and are heat-resistant.
