Glass Type T

This glass allows you to more fully appreciate the delicate and complex intermingling of flavours of Japanese tea.

Lessons learned from years of tea tasting led us to the decision to sell glasses as tools for savouring the taste and aroma of Japanese tea. In our experiences preparing and serving Ippodo tea using glasses of various shapes and sizes, we were surprised to see how much the shape of a glass can accentuate different aspects of the tea’s taste and fragrance, and also acquired a greater appreciation for the complexity of Japanese tea’s fragrance and taste. The “T” in Glass Type T stands for “texture.”

How do Ippodo staff use it?

These convenient glasses can be used in many different ways. They can be used as wine glasses and can also be stacked. Drinking Japanese tea from this glass gives you a range of flavours noticeably different from those you experience when drinking the same tea from a teacup.
