A shiboridashi-style brewer in white porcelain for making one cup of tea. Quite simply, these are some of the best and most utilitarian brewers we have worked with, and most of the teas we make at the shop are now made using them. Each brewer is glazed except for the teeth that strains the leaves out, and the section around the rim and lid which is unglazed for stability.<\/p>\n

Handmade by Asahiyaki in Uji, Japan in collaboration with Postcard Teas, London.<\/p>\n

Volume ~150ml, although each piece is unique so dimensions and volume do vary. Wooden box included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32595,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,216,249],"product_tag":[218,217],"class_list":{"0":"post-3521","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-accessories","7":"product_cat-asahiyaki-brewer","8":"product_cat-handmade-ceramics-accessories","9":"product_tag-brewer","10":"product_tag-teapot","12":"first","13":"outofstock","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"booking_location":null,"booking_location_type":null,"booking_duration":null,"booking_duration_unit":null,"booking_buffer":null,"booking_cost":null,"booking_resources":null,"exclude_global_add_ons":[],"addons":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.postcardteas.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.postcardteas.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.postcardteas.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.postcardteas.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.postcardteas.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.postcardteas.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=3521"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.postcardteas.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=3521"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.postcardteas.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=3521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
