KINTO – compact glass tea maker, 280 ml

A modern, sleek tool for those who seek the pure taste of traditional tea brewing, but want a simple, compact solution. The fine filter built into the lid (metal-free design) gives you a clean cup, so all you need is a pourer and a cup - or even a larger cup - and you're ready to make tea.

Why will you love me?

• Compact and user-friendly – ​​easier to handle than a gaiwan, yet produces a clean, controlled extract.
• Versatile – suitable for green, white, oolong and red teas, as well as herbal infusions.
• Fine filtration – the dense insert holds the leaves well, even for Japanese teas.
• Travel-friendly – ​​lightweight glass body, minimal space requirement; Balázs took this on his study trip to Japan (Shizuoka, Kagoshima), and it worked well on the plane.
