Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2019 8:19 pm
Hojo Tea, founded by Akira HOJO, is a Japanese tea company located in Nagano. they also have a shop in Malaysia.
Hojo Tea sells teaware of good quality with an emphasis on natural clays. i have several pieces that i enjoy using.
he also sells a wide variety of tea.
Mr. Hojo has published many articles on his site. some are rather opinionated, and i don't necessarily agree with everything, but i feel that they are interesting and worth reading.
to order, you have to visit this specific page: https://hojotea.com/item_e/available.htm
this page shows the current teaware inventory.
there is also a pdf linked near the top that has the price list for his teas.
follow the directions at the bottom of the page to order. basically, you email him your order and any questions you may have, and he sends you a paypal invoice.
HOJO Enhancer Script
his site is a bit antiquated imo, and i was having trouble choosing teapots because there were no inventory filtering options.
the page was cluttered with irrelevant offerings (sold out items, teapots not of the size i was looking for, etc), and this meant i had to scroll a lot and also could not see all of the choices that interested me all at once.
and so when i was bored a couple of years ago, i made a userscript (custom code that changes the appearance of a website) for his site that improved my experience.
this script removes items that are sold out, converts to your local currency with realtime exchange rate, and shows only teaware in the size range you specify.
it adds a Settings button in the upper right corner of the page:
and this shows the results:
look at that. only two in-stock Iga pots no bigger than 150mL! sure makes deciding easier.
if you want to install it, you first have to install a browser extension like Tampermonkey.
after that, you can click this to install my hojo enhancer script: tea-code/userscripts/hojo-enhancer/hojo.user.js
