Introducing the NEW Obix Filter!
Coming on to the market this year in Japan is the all new obix filter for Tokoname Teapots! A very practical filter that we’re sure some of our customers will be happy to see!
So what’s an obix filter you may ask? Well, it’s an innovative plastic filter that can easily be removed from the teapot by the little plastic handle on the side of the filter. It can then be thoroughly cleaned by hand and then easily fixed back into the teapot prior to each usage. Here’s an image of one removed from the teapot:

The filter is made from durable plastic and will last a long time, but if you do happen to need a new filter we are stocking them here: Obix Filter For Tokoname Teapots.
Currently, we have two teapots that are fitted with the obix filter, the more expensive Kuro Kushime Obix Tokoname Teapot, and the cheaper Shusen Obix Tokoname Teapot. Both excellent functional teapots from Tokoname!
Matcha Tins New Arrivals
Now that a number of our matcha come in excellent new stand-up resealable pouches we no longer offer them supplied with a tin. Therefore, for those still in need or want of a tin for their matcha, we have added three small ones to our selection of Matcha Tins! They are available individually or as a set of 3, are made of stainless steel, come with plastic inner lids, and will hold approximately 40g/1.41oz of matcha green tea powder:

You can also use these to store any other small amounts of loose leaf tea and are practical enough to take on a trip or to work. Please, use as you wish!
A Little Red Star For Yuuki-Cha!
We finally did it! We got our well-deserved little red star!
We have reached a landmark 1000 positive Yuuki-Cha reviews/feedback on ebay! Ebay were even kind enough to send us a certificate:
1000 Positive feedback ebay certificate!
We are also a Top-Rated Seller on ebay! This isn’t just any old fluke or by luck, it’s through good old-fashioned hard work and our continued efforts to supply our customers with international customer service they are more than happy with. Occasionally, we come across a tricky-to-handle customer or a person that is just being dishonest and is obviously out to get us, but 99.9% of the time our customers have helped and encouraged us a great deal!
So thank you to the ebay community, we are always grateful for your support, and we hope we can work together to make it safely to 2000!
