Tokoname kyusu, Nambu iron kettles, Banko purple clay, Kalita drippers.
Tokoname is the spiritual home of the Japanese kyusu (side-handle teapot). Nambu Tekki has cast iron kettles in Iwate since the 17th century. Banko's purple clay rivals Yixing. Plus Kalita's ceramic drippers — the V60's quieter cousin. This category is for tea, coffee, and the considered ritual around both.

About Tokoname kyusu
Tokoname’s clay is iron-rich, which mellows the bitterness of green tea — the reason it’s been the kyusu standard since the Edo period.
About Nambu Tekki
Morioka’s cast iron kettles have warmed Japanese tea ceremonies for 400 years. The iron releases trace iron into the water — said to soften it.
