Description

Some beauty reveals itself slowly.

The Shomei Black Gold Leaf Kyusu is crafted from deep black kokudei Tokoname clay, its surface adorned with striking gold leaf motifs that capture every delicate vein and branch of the leaf's natural structure. Against the matte black body, the gold detailing appears almost illuminated, creating a design that is intricate without excess and elegant without restraint.

A fine gold line traces the rim of the lid, while a matching gold-finished knob completes the composition, bringing harmony to every detail.

Beyond its visual appeal, the unglazed kokudei interior contributes to the brewing experience itself. Rich in iron minerals, Tokoname's renowned black clay is prized for its ability to soften astringency and enhance the character of Japanese green teas over time.

Inside, the integrated Ceramesh ceramic filter ensures a clean, smooth pour without metal contact, allowing the tea's flavour to remain pure and uncompromised.

With a 200ml capacity, this kyusu is designed for focused brewing, perfect for a mindful solo session or the appreciation of premium Japanese teas in their finest expression.

Hand-selected by AiCha directly from the master artisans of Tokoname, Japan.

ARTISAN TEA CRAFTSMANSHIP

Every piece in AICHA's ceramics collection begins not at the wheel, but in the earth of Tokoname, Japan's oldest kiln city, with a pottery tradition stretching back to the 12th century. Nestled in the Chita Peninsula of Aichi Prefecture, Tokoname's master artisans have spent generations perfecting the art of shaping mineral-rich local clay into vessels of quiet, functional beauty. AICHA handpicks each piece directly from these artisans, not for volume, but for the rare excellence that only generational craft produces. The finest tea, brewed in the finest vessel. That is the only standard we accept.

THE TOKONAME PHILOSOPHY: FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION

In Tokoname, beauty and purpose have never been in conflict. Every piece that leaves a master artisan's hands is governed by one discipline: form must serve function without compromise. The weight must balance. The proportions must feel deliberate. The finish must enhance the brew, not merely please the eye. For those in Dubai and across the UAE who seek teaware of genuine substance and not just aesthetic appeal, this is the philosophy that sets AICHA's Tokoname collection apart.

MINDFUL MOMENTS OF CALM

The Japanese tea ritual has endured for over a thousand years for one reason. It demands your full presence. To warm the vessel, measure the leaves, watch the first pour. Each piece in AICHA's ceramics collection is crafted for exactly this quality of attention. In the rhythm of Dubai's daily life, these are not objects you simply own. They are rituals you return to, one deliberate, unhurried cup at a time.

PREMIUM CLAY AND TEXTURE DETAILS

Tokoname clay is defined not by its colour, but by its composition. Whether fired to Shudei's deep vermillion or Kokudei's rich black, the unglazed interior carries the same fundamental truth: mineral-rich, naturally porous, and responsive to every brew. With use, the clay seasons gradually, absorbing the character of the teas it holds and becoming, over time, a vessel entirely your own. No two pieces leave the kiln identical. That variation is not a flaw. It is the signature of authentic handcraft.
