A Chakouro is a traditional Japanese incense burner designed to gently heat green tea leaves, or powdered tea, to release the fragrance into the air.
Unlike incense sticks, which burn, Chakouro operates on a lower external heat, allowing the tea’s natural aroma to diffuse gently into the air.
A tea incense burner is used to create a calming and aromatic environment, often in tea rooms, homes or meditation spaces. Not only functional but also a decorative object, the Chakouro is designed to enhance the aesthetic of its surroundings.
Natural Finish
Made from high quality ceramic, the rustic brown finish gives the tea burner a natural, earthy appearance, which aligns with traditional Japanese design that values simplicity and a connection to nature.
The finish will include slight variations in tone and texture, reflecting the handmade nature of the piece and giving each tea burner a unique character.
Different types of tea can be used to produce various scents based on personal preferences or the desired ambience.
How to use
The Chakouro is easy to use. Simply fill the shallow bowl with a tea of your choice, put the tealight in the holder and place it underneath the ceramic burner, this provides a gentle heat source to warm the tea leaves or powder above.
The use of natural tea leaves ensures a safe, non-toxic way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy without the need for synthetic fragrances or chemicals.
Clean regularly with warm water and a soft cloth, avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the ceramic finish.
Ensure that the candle or heat source used is stable and does not pose a risk of fire. It is important to use the tea burner on a heat-resistant surface and away from flammable materials.
