Frequently Asked Questions

What are the health benefits of Japanese green tea?

Japanese green tea is packed with antioxidants, especially catechins, which help protect cells from damage and support overall health. It contains L-theanine, an amino acid that can promote calm focus, and natural caffeine that offers steady energy. Popular varieties like sencha provide a healthy mix of antioxidants and caffeine, making them ideal for daily drinking. Gyokuro, a shade-grown tea, has higher levels of L-theanine and chlorophyll, while matcha delivers the highest concentration of nutrients because the whole leaf is consumed in powdered form. Other varieties like bancha and hojicha are lower in caffeine but still offer antioxidants and a smooth, gentle flavor.

How do I choose the right Japanese teapot for my tea?

Choosing the right Japanese teapot depends on the type of tea you enjoy, how much you usually brew, and how you like to serve it. For Japanese green teas like sencha or gyokuro, a kyusu teapot with a built-in mesh strainer is ideal for loose leaf brewing and smooth pouring. If you often brew for one or two people, a smaller teapot (around 200–300 ml) is a good choice, while larger sizes work well for serving multiple guests. Look for a teapot that feels comfortable in your hand, suits your brewing habits, and reflects the quality you want in your Japanese tea experience.

Why is Tokoname clay ideal for brewing Japanese green tea?

Tokoname clay is a popular choice for Japanese green tea teapots because of its practical qualities that support a better brewing experience. The clay retains heat well, which helps tea leaves steep evenly and thoroughly, bringing out the right flavors without overheating or cooling too fast. Its natural surface works with the tea to reduce bitterness and create a smoother taste. Tokoname clay is also known for its strength and durability, making teapots made from it reliable for everyday use. All these features make Tokoname clay teapots a practical choice for anyone looking to enjoy Japanese green tea as it was intended.

Can Japanese green tea be brewed more than once?

Yes, Japanese green tea can typically be brewed multiple times. High-quality loose-leaf teas like sencha or gyokuro can often be steeped two or three times without losing their flavor. Each brew will bring out different notes. Usually, the first cup is the strongest, while subsequent brews are milder and still enjoyable. To get the best results, adjust the steeping time and water temperature for each brew.
