Hello, thank you for supporting d:matcha Kyoto. This newsletter is filled with monthly updates from our team in Wazuka, Kyoto....

We are now in the month of May, so things are quickly picking up in Wazuka. You will notice that tea farmers are extremely busy trying to produce high-quality tea, and constantly ensuring they get the timing right. Especially for ichibancha, there is a negative correlation between tea yield and quality.
There are many facets to the world of tea and one other area that I am particularly interested in, aside from farming, is tea ware. Potters, like farmers, are craftsmen who devote their time and energy into creating items that are one-of-a-kind.

At our d:matcha Kyoto store in Wazuka, we often prepare our sencha for our customers using a Tokoname teapot. I would thus like to share more about this select tea ware.

Did you know that almost 90% of the teapots available for sale in Japan are made in Tokoname?
