Handcrafted in Yokkaichi, Mie prefecture Japan, this Banko-yaki green tea set was made with gyokuro brewing in mind. Since gyokuro should be brewed at a lower temperature and with double the amount of loose leaf (usually the most expensive green teas available), the use of this special set is ideal for gyokuro enthusiasts, allowing multiple infusions from the same gyokuro leaf.

How to Brew Gyokuro - Step-by-Step Instructions!

The set is very small, with the teapot measuring just 8.5 cm wide x 5 cm tall (3.46" x 2"), and holding just 100ml/3.4 ounces of water. Includes two small matching teacups and a matching yuzamashi (water cooler) to help lower water temperature. Special grooves in the inner body of the teapot eliminate the need for a filter basket. With perhaps the exception of deep steamed green tea, this tea set could also be used for other green teas.

this set is certainly designed with gyokuro in mind. If you frequently drink gyokuro or drink small amount of sencha on a daily basis, this would be a good set to add to your collection. Its also pretty :)
Very impressed!!

I just got this set and am very impressed with the quality, a real bargain at the price. The pieces are very well-made using a nice coarse clay coated in tasteful celadon glaze. Perfect for brewing small cups of gyokuro. For everyone else's sake, I hope it is back in stock soon.

Hello,
You sent a message, to my husband asking if everything was okay with his tea order. He bought two types of matcha and a matcha whisk for me as a Christmas gift and I love it!

I just wanted to let you know in case he didn't relay that information. I will definitely be considering ordering from you when my supply is finished!
Thanks so much for your service and great product.
Sincerely,
Barbara W

Dear Kevin,

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the powdered Sencha I ordered. As usual, the typical characteristics of Japanese green teas were all there; the grassy mellowness, vibrancy, somewhat astringent tannins and the effervescence. I would follow the directions on the package and the results would yield a perfect cup of tea. The only caveat would be that the tea does not totally dissolve. Since I am a big fan of Matcha, I thought I would give powdered sencha a try and I like it a lot. Matcha is still my favorite. But I do love powdered teas better because of the health benefits that are touted more so than just steeping the leaves. One ingests the whole leaf which in turn is healthier than just drinking the run-off, which is only yielding thirty percent of the teas polyphenols.

Once again, the shipping schedule was on time and customer service was wonderful.

Thank you for such superb and delicious products!

I have been dealing with O-Cha for years and what never fails to amaze me is the quality, selection and excellent customer service provided. Not only is it a thriving business, it is an oasis of Japanese tea culture. One cannot go wrong with O-Cha!
