Japanese Black Houjicha Houroku Teapot Pan
Regular priceEnhance your tea experience with the Houroku, a traditional Japanese tea warmer designed to gently maintain the perfect temperature for your tea, especially ideal for brewing and serving Houjicha. This elegant, functional piece ensures your tea stays at the perfect warmth, enhancing both flavor and aroma throughout your tea session.
Crafted from ceramic, metal, or clay, the Houroku features a simple, timeless design with a holder for a small candle or charcoal, providing consistent, gentle heat underneath your teapot or kettle. This slow, even warmth is perfect for Houjicha, a roasted green tea that benefits from a slightly higher temperature during brewing. It also works wonderfully with other teas, like green tea, black tea, or oolong, keeping your pot warm between pours.
In Japanese tea culture, the Houroku helps create a peaceful, meditative atmosphere during tea preparation. By maintaining the ideal temperature for your tea, it allows the full depth of flavor to unfold, especially for roasted teas like Houjicha, which require careful attention to temperature to bring out their unique, toasty flavor profile.
