Kyoto's wirework tea strainer

A cup of bliss, woven by handcrafted work
Kyoto's wirework tea strainer

Wire mesh craftsmanship has supported the tea ceremony tools in Kyoto, where the culture of tea ceremony has been alive since ancient times. Our tea strainers are still carefully woven one by one by skilled artisans in Kyoto.

The traditional tortoiseshell weave is not only beautiful to look at, but is also packed with wisdom for filtering the tea leaves thoroughly while smoothly extracting the tea's flavor. The fact that it is made of metal yet exudes a sense of warmth is the result of the exquisite control of pressure that can only be achieved through handwork.

This tea strainer is perfect for not only Japanese tea, but also black tea and herbal tea. It brings the essence of Kyoto's traditional beauty to modern teatimes. The more you use it, the more comfortable it becomes in your hand and the more its texture improves. Enjoy a relaxing moment with this "tool that will last a lifetime."
