Preserve the Freshness of Your Loose Leaf Green Tea

If you're a fan of loose-leaf green tea, you know how hard it can be to preserve your organic Japanese green tea leaves. Without the right preservation tool for Japanese green tea leaves, organic loose-leaf green tea can spoil fast. This can leave you with organic loose-leaf green tea that loses some of its flavor and quality, which you never want to happen to Japanese green tea leaves. 

The solution? Here at Rikumo, we offer a wide range of the best teaware that will help you preserve the quality and freshness, whether it be green tea, matcha, or otherwise. Elevate your Japanese green tea experience and kitchen with the best high-quality Japanese teaware sold at Rikumo!

Japanese Tea & Teaware

Unlock soothing aromatics and balanced richness with our curated tea collection. At Rikumo, we are devoted to upholding traditional Japanese culture with a fresh take on the finest teapots, cups, and organic teas to awaken the senses and invite inner calm. Inside, you will find the best selection of handcrafted ironworks, artist-inspired tea cups, and breathtaking styles that bring harmony to every setting.

Explore a Curated Selection of Authentic Japanese Tea & Teaware

From raw clay and ore to firing and glazing, each exquisite work encompasses centuries of Japanese crafting excellence. Looking to locals for inspiration, all custom teapots and tea cups can be traced to our symbiotic relations with artisans and world-renowned producers who deliver detail-oriented mastery. More than a stylish vessel to steep your favorite loose-leaf tea, each pour is a nod to the tried-and-true techniques of multi-generational Japanese workshops, laborious hand shaping, and dependable materials that have earned worldwide recognition. 

For matcha and loose-leaf tea aficionados, our captivating teaware opens up the possibilities for morning rituals and afternoon ceremonies. To start the day, we recommend a bold black tea steeped in our Frustum Porcelain Teapot. As midday comes into focus, grace your organic matcha or green tea ceremony with one of our cast iron teapots for mineral enrichment and a soothing earthy undertone. 

Much like well-seasoned, cast iron Japanese cookware that promotes a richer flavor with repeated use, similar benefits emerge following repeated steeps in a cast iron teapot. Naturally beneficial for your health and the flavor profile, the mineral enrichment that occurs with cast iron teapots brings a wonderful balance to our antioxidant-rich blends. While matcha and green teas are the most popular pairing with a cast iron teapot, any white, black, green, or mixed tea can be enriched with the versatility of our handcrafted ironworks at Rikumo.

We Sell Teapots & Tea Cups

Traditional, transitional, and modern trends unite in our expansive collection.

Morishita Kettle or Iwachu Zakuro Cast Iron Teapot inspire conversation and stand proud as memorable centerpieces. 

The ingenuity of our custom works continues seamlessly into our handcrafted cups and ceramics. Masterfully shaped to honor the precious contents within, all tea cups at Rikumo stand independently or work elegantly in any collection.

Health Benefits of Green Tea

Longevity, disease prevention, weight loss, mental clarity, and other notable wellness properties have been attributed to regular green tea consumption. These health benefits are further amplified when choosing organic green teas that have been sourced from reputable producers. 

To promote holistic wellness from within, each steep of quality green tea from Rikumo is filled with a broad profile of beneficial antioxidants. The potent compounds found in our green tea may help to:

  • Reduce oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals that can cause tissue damage and premature cellular aging. 
  • Support healthy weight management by stimulating metabolism and fat oxidation processes. The caffeine in green tea further promotes fat loss by reducing appetite and boosting calorie expenditure.
  • Promote cardiovascular wellness by reducing LDL cholesterol levels and reducing inflammatory stress on the vascular tissues. 
  • Enrich brain health with powerhouse molecules like L-theanine which are associated with sharpened focus and mental clarity. Green tea antioxidants also support the brain by protecting brain cells from degenerative issues. 
  • Improved oral health, stress management, and a cheerier mental disposition have all been associated with regular green tea enjoyment

Difference Between Loose Leaf Tea & Regular Tea

Most commonly, loose-leaf tea varieties are prepared without grinding or crushing. By maintaining the green or black tea in its unadulterated form, the precious tea compounds are preserved and the final steeping process can be tailored as desired. 

If you desire a subtle flavor profile, infuse fully intact loose leaves into the teapot. For a richer flavor profile, crush or grind the leaves into a coarse or fine blend before steeping. A traditional loose-leaf blend is often preferred for particular tasting preferences, or if tea enthusiasts would like to create their flavor profiles, a mixture of various leaves and grind fineness allows for greater tea ceremony customization.

Pre-prepared satchels of green, white, and black teas offer greater convenience with a curated blend and measured quantity. Our organic Japanese teas are the perfect home companion, offering ease of use and a consistent steep with every freshly brewed teapot.

Enrich Your Daily Experience With Our Memorable Teaware

On the journey towards personal wellness and interior harmony, a steaming Hasami mug of our decadent black tea or health-boosting green tea eases every step. Before sampling our green and black teas, we encourage you to get in touch with our dedicated team to learn more about the culture and timeless quality of our kettles, tea cups, and creative designs at Rikumo.
