The Cruche en Verre “Sencha”, 0.6 l holds 0.6 l: just right for serving one person, or two. It is made of glass, as is the tea strainer that comes with it. Glass is neutral in taste: it does not retain the aroma and lets you see the colour of the liquor throughout the serving.

For which teas?

Its name evokes sencha, the Japanese green tea, which it can accompany at the table: the Sencha Yame from Mariage Frères, for example, or the other crus presented in our guide to Japanese green teas. It is not reserved for green tea, however: it serves all teas as well as infusions.

Hot or cold?

Both. In winter, it keeps the colour of a hot tea in view; in summer, it welcomes an iced tea or a cold infusion. Our guide to iced tea explains how to prepare it.

How do you use it?

The glass tea strainer holds back the leaves when serving. An intermediate size, halfway between a pitcher and a small carafe, the jug is easy to handle and stores without taking up space: a simple piece for everyday use. To adjust the temperature and steeping time to the tea family, refer to our guide to steeping times and temperatures, and find the other serving pieces in our tea accessories.
