About io
いほについて
io いほ is a Copenhagen-based teahouse dedicated to the exploration of the potential of Japan’s organic and naturally farmed teas.
We source all of our teas directly from the Japanese tea producers with a focus on the cultivation of tea gardens without the use of pesticides and artificial fertilisers.
We are particularly interested in small-scale tea productions which are able to express a distinct sense of their terroir, and it is important to us that the tea producers – who also grow the tea they produce – are being paid a fair price for their work.
We visit their tea gardens on a regular basis and work to build meaningful and long-lasting relationships, for we believe in the importance of understanding the local environment and knowing the people behind each tea that we sell and serve.
In io you will moreover find a selection of Japanese tea utensils and crafts, including regular exhibitions by teaware artisans.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in io.
Sincerely,
Yukiko & Simon
