What's the difference between borosilicate and regular glass Japanese tea glasses?

Borosilicate glass handles temperature changes better and won't crack from hot tea followed by ice, while regular glass is cheaper but more prone to breaking. For daily iced tea use, borosilicate is worth the extra cost since it lasts longer.

What capacity should I choose for Japanese iced tea glasses?

Most come in 200ml to 350ml sizes — 250ml is the sweet spot for a full serving of iced tea with room for ice without overflow. Pick larger if you like plenty of ice, smaller if you prefer concentrated flavor.

Do I need a glass with a handle or should I go handleless?

Handles keep your hands dry and warm, but handleless glasses show off the tea's color better and are easier to clean. Choose based on whether you prioritize comfort or aesthetics.

What should I check before buying a Japanese iced tea glass?

Look at the thickness of the glass, whether it has measurement markings, and if the rim is smooth and safe to drink from. Check if it's dishwasher-safe and whether the seller mentions thermal shock resistance.

Is it worth paying more for a branded Japanese glass versus a generic one?

Brand names like Hario or Kinto offer better glass quality and durability, but solid generic borosilicate glasses perform similarly for basic iced tea. Spend more only if you want longevity, special designs, or premium features like measurement lines.
