A glass teapot and mug make it easy to prepare and enjoy tea,
without hiding anything.
This is the set I use every day.

Pouring tea into a glass mug.
You can see the color clearly.
Why I Choose HARIO
One of the reasons I choose HARIO
is the way they approach materials.
Their heat-resistant glass is made in Japan using natural materials and without heavy metals.
Because it’s something I use every day,
this kind of detail naturally started to matter to me.
Teapot

Watching the leaves open is part of the process.
I use this teapot mostly for green tea and hojicha.
Through the glass,
you can watch the leaves open
and adjust the strength as it brews.
I don’t use the included strainer,
but I’ve never had issues with leaves getting stuck.
It pours cleanly without dripping
and is easy to wash.
If the tea cools down,
I simply reheat it in the microwave.
A ceramic teapot can make the taste feel a bit rounder,
but glass feels more direct —
like you’re tasting the tea as it is.

Mug

The clear glass makes the color and aroma feel a little closer.
I use the mug for tea and coffee.
I own many ceramic cups,
but I often reach for this one.
It doesn’t stain easily,
can go in the dishwasher,
and can be reheated in the microwave.
It’s lightweight and easy to handle.
I also like the rounded shape.
It allows air to move gently inside the cup,
which helps the aroma rise
and gather near the rim.
Because of that,
the fragrance feels a little easier to enjoy.
It’s simple,
but something I find myself using every day.
