Japanese Oribe Black Teapot | 黒織部 | Japan | 620ml – from Brisbane’s beloved tea shop.

A medium, Japanese teapot, featuring a traditional black oribe glaze paired with precision design.
Oribe glazes originate from the Mino region. While oribe-ware is characteristically misshapen – this pot blends ancient glazing techniques that date back to the sixteenth century with elegant modern design.

Brisbane tea store Tour de Tea independently sources the finest tea-wares and accessories, determinedly seeking out special and unique tea homewares for Australian tea lovers.

At the heart of Tour de Tea’s homewares curation, lies a profound appreciation for functional art – the belief that everyday objects can embody both beauty and practicality. Tour de Tea respectfully but vehemently rejects the notion of division between utility and artistry, instead embracing tea-ware that transforms the ordinary into the meaningful. Each teapot or teacup is selected not only for its craftsmanship, but for its ability to transform an everyday ritual of tea into a moment where the senses and soul become thoroughly nourished. Artistry thrives in objects meant to be held, used, and cherished over time.

Tour de Tea’s guiding principles (both professionally and personally) embody the Japanese aesthetic concept of yo no bi (よのび – beauty in utility), where form harmonises with function in a way that affords a magical gravitas to ordinary domestic experiences. We curate homewares that invite contemplation through tactile qualities, subtle elegance, or occasionally – visual splendour.

Our Brisbane tea store cultivates an appreciation for slow, intentional design via homewares, and slow, intentional ritual via tea drinking. Our teacups, tea canisters, and teapots are not static display pieces but companions – objects with soul, threading to our lives as they bear witness and contribute beauty to our private existence. In this way, Tour de Tea defines something as simple as this little black teapot as an invitation for connection: to admire different cultural traditions, to craftsmanship, and to the quiet joy of simplicity.
