Elegant relaxation

With the soft aroma of tea and gentle candle light, this Cha-Koro is sure to bring relaxation to any space.

Green tea has a special spot in Japanese people’s heart. It’s something so familiar to us for centuries, and we feel relaxed not only by drinking green tea, but also from its aroma. By setting some green tea leaves on the top tray and heating with a candle from inside, it brings relaxation with the soft aroma of green tea. If you use this Cha-Koro in a dark room, gentle candlelight coming through its body even enhances a nice ambience.

For any occasion, at any time of the day, you can enjoy the relaxing green tea aroma of Cha-Koro. When having guests over, the aroma of Cha-Koro would certainly make your home feel warm and welcoming. Besides relaxation, aroma of green tea is also known for its deodorant effect. So, this Cha-Koro can help making a room smell clean.
