Japan-easy
The Japanese Tea Ceremony – chadō - has been beguiling western visitors for centuries. Travelers have been seduced by this calm and elegant ritual which would not have evolved in our Western time-poor culture. Routed in wabi - meaning sober refinement and subdued taste – chadō is about "humility, restraint and simplicity; emphasizing simple objects and celebrating the mellow beauty that time and care imparts" (from Chanoyu, the Art of Tea").
East meets West in the form of this brand new ''tetsubin'' – Japanese tea pot – which sees the marriage of traditional Japanese design with the European desire for efficiency of use. This practical and easy to use tea maker can be used with tea bags, but is much better used for speciality loose tea, as the plunger traps the loose tea just like a cafetiere traps ground coffee.

It can also go on the hob to warm before use or to keep warm and can be used as a kettle.
