We see the enormous potential on teplo’s personalized brewing which can brew the best cup of tea based on the user’s preference and mental state. We expect the birth of a new tea ecosystem through the teplo’s ultimate tea experience.
There are many people who don’t use a Japanese traditonal tea pot ("Kyu-Su"). Consumer trends are also changing. We expect teplo to offer new ways to enjoy teas all over the world
In recent years, personalization has become an important theme in beverages and other consumer products. We believe that there are new opportunities for market to enjoy beverages using technology like Teplo.
