We're coffee guys, and while tea might seem like the polar opposite from coffee it may surprise in you just how many similarities there are.
Like coffee there are different grades of tea, originating in different countries and processed differently to accentuate different tastes from the tea.
Growing and processing takes place on a farm and then coffee and tea is imported all across the world. While coffee is roasted usually at the origin that is sold at most teas are ready to drink straight after the processing.
Why Choose the Hario Glass Kyusu Teapot?
Hario, known for its high-quality glassware, brings the same expertise to the Kyusu Teapot. Made from high borosilicate glass, it’s designed to handle the thermal shocks of hot water without compromising durability or style.
What's included - Hario Kyusu Teapot
Included with the Hario Kyusu Teapot, you'll find a high borosilicate 450ml glass teapot, a stainless steel filter, and a glass lid, each handmade to perfection.
Design and Functionality
The teapot’s minimalist design isn’t just for aesthetics, it serves a functional purpose. The removable stainless steel filter holds back the loose leaf tea and allows generous water flow, allowing the tea leaves to steep efficiently and uniformly.
Capacity and Ideal Use:
With a 450ml capacity, the Hario Kyusu is perfect for brewing multiple large cups or several smaller servings, making it ideal for both solitary moments and social gatherings.
The Superiority of Loose Leaf Tea
Loose leaves expand fully in a teapot, releasing a fuller spectrum of flavours and essential oils. This results in a richer and more intricate tea experience. While tea bags usually consist of lower grades of tea and often don't translate to the best flavour compared to loose leaf tea.
