Yamafusa Loquat Leaf Round Tokoname Chakoro Tea Incense Burner

Fill your room with the fresh rich aroma of roasted Japanese tea leaves with this Tokoname Ware Chakoro Tea Incense Burner. 

A Chakoro is a fairly new type of incense burner where Japanese tea leaves and twigs  placed on a plate are slowly roasted under a candle in an incense burner. "Cha" means "tea" and "koro" means incense burner in Japanese. Our Chakoro includes a burner base, one plate, a candle holder and a wooden trivet. The set also comes with one tealight candle. 

The burner is in an olive green matte color with the surface decorated with droplet designs carved on its sides. When the burner is lit, you can enjoy the elegant shadows created by the droplets adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The top plate of the burner is decorated with a single leaf that can be used as a handle when holding the plate to place the tea leaves.

Set the Chakoro on a flat surface and place one spoonful(2g) of Japanese tea leaves on the top plate and then light the candle on the holder. You should slowly start to smell the rich aroma of the roasted tea leaves after 5 to 6 minutes the candle is lit. We recommend that you use Japanese tea leaves specially packaged for Chakoro-use to fully enjoy the rich aroma of Japanese tea leaves.

Japanese tea leaves contain a substance that when heated has a relaxing effect on the brain and improves blood flow. The fragrance from a Chakoro is subtle and delicate. It brings about a feel of nostalgia and calm serenity. The aroma of Japanese tea leaves also has a deodorizing effect that naturally eliminates any odors in a room.

This Chakoro is made with Tokoname Ware which is well-known for its beautifully natural smooth texture and minimalistic form. Tokoname is one of the six traditional ceramics production areas in Japan known as the “Rokkoyo (Six Old Kilns)."
