Cooling vessel, dark
Green tea should not be infused with boiling water. However, we recommend boiling the water once, as this makes it softer and reduces the lime content. To cool the water down, the Japanese then use so-called yuzamashi - cooling vessels with a spout.
By decanting the water, the temperature drops a little faster and the elegant, simple vessel looks good with any tea set. Tip: if you want to fill several cups, you can pour the tea into the cooling vessel first and then pour it out. This ensures that the tea is equally strong in all cups. And if the cups are already full but there is still tea left in the pot, the tea can be stored temporarily in the cooling vessel without it becoming ‘bitter’ in the pot due to excessive infusion time. This cooling vessel has a slightly uneven, corrugated surface with practical recessed grips and a matt, dark surface.
The thick-walled clay is easy to handle even in hot temperatures. Dimensions Capacity 260 ml 14 x 10 x 11 cm

Filter-in green bottle - Drinking bottle, large “Smokey Green”, 750ml
The large “Filter-in green bottle” drinking bottle with integrated strainer for preparing cold infusions in the color “Smokey Green”. Filling quantity 750 ml Ideal for preparing cold infusions of green tea - for a rich but mild aroma. Practical: When brewed cold, the sweetness of the L-theanine in the green tea comes into its own, while the bitter substances remain in the background even with a long brewing time. You can therefore simply store your Mizudashi green tea in the fridge - it will stay fresh, green and mildly aromatic for hours! Depending on the type of tea, a few minutes are sufficient for infusion, for example KEIKO Shincha Yume (Fukamushi). For less steamed teas or herbal infusions, a longer infusion time of several hours is recommended. The Filter-In Bottle is manufactured by Hario in Japan. Thanks to the heat-resistant glass, the bottle is also suitable for hot infusions - make sure that only as much water is poured in as is needed so that the tea does not continue to steep in the bottle. Do not shake the bottle during preparation, only turn or swirl it, otherwise the tea leaves may slip past the integrated sieve. Tip: Serve cold-brewed green tea from the bottle with food in wine glasses as an alternative to wine.

Cold brewer "ooika"
Item No. 42200
The Ooika- Cold brewer for the preparation of drip tea can be used with hot OR cold water. However, it is ideal especially for cold brew green tea highlighting the rich yet sweet green fragrance of high quality Kabusecha, known amongst tea-connoisseurs as Ooika.
The Cold brewer consists of two glass vessels which are connected with a rubber base with a small opening, which lets the water drip into the stainless steel strainer underneath and then into the lower vessel.
To prepare your cold drip Green Tea measure 2-3 teaspoons of tea into the sieve (make sure the tea covers the bottom of the strainer evenly) and fill the upper vessel with 600 to 900ml of water. You can also use ice cubes to make a Kouridashi-brew, either letting them melt slowly to drip over the tea or just add them to your tea once its ready.
The preparation takes between 25 and 45 minutes. You can adjust the speed by pushing the little knob deeper into the rubber base to slow the water flow or pulling it back out to speed it up.
Best suited for this type of preparation is deep steamed (fukamushi) Kabusecha from an early picking, as these will best release the aroma and all the valuable ingredients of the tea but also the least astringency.
Our Tip: Serve the cold drip tea in wine-glasses to surprise your dinner guests with a tasty refreshing alternative to alcohol!
