café la maison J. TOKINE Tea Maker

Instead of using a metal or paper filter, the TOKINE uses the tea leaves themselves to filter the brew. As the leaves settle at the bottom of the vessel, they create a natural barrier that allows the liquid to pass through while keeping the sediment contained, resulting in a cleaner, more full-bodied cup.

Yes, the vessel is crafted from heat-resistant glass paired with semi-porcelain, making it robust enough for everyday brewing. While it is durable, it should still be handled with the same care you would give any high-quality glassware.

This method works best with whole or large-leaf teas that settle easily. Very fine dust or small-particle herbal blends may pass through the natural leaf filter, so it is recommended to stick to larger, high-quality loose-leaf varieties for the best results.

With dimensions of 3.7 inches by 6.6 inches and a 0.3-liter capacity, it is compact enough to fit easily into a bag or sit comfortably on a desk. Its durable construction makes it a practical choice for brewing high-quality tea at the office or while traveling.

Maintenance is straightforward because the entire unit is dishwasher safe. Simply remove the tea leaves, rinse the vessel, and place it in the dishwasher for a thorough clean.
