The "Akabane coaster" is named after the red roofing tiles (Okinawa's traditional roof tiles) that absorb and release moisture. Inspired by this, KAVA created "KAVA Aroma Stones," designed to absorb aromatic oils for diffusion. This line directly embodies Niigaki Tile Factory's legacy of crafting tiles in a wide array of colors.
The circular red tile coasters, produced by Niigaki Tile Factory, leverage the high water absorbency of red tiles to quickly soak up condensation from chilled glasses, making them exceptionally practical. Initially, the idea of using red tiles emerged because Okinawa's soil differs from mainland Japan, making it unsuitable for producing high-quality gray tiles. Furthermore, Okinawan soil cannot withstand high firing temperatures. The company's initial vision was simply, "Perhaps red tiles could work too." At first, their products were solely sold as souvenirs, and only red tile coasters were produced. However, they now utilize different soils and offer a variety of tile colors beyond red.
O Add 2-3 drops of essential oil onto the aroma stone, and the fragrance can last all day! It can be used in rooms, cars, restrooms, and more.
O You can also add your preferred mosquito-repellent essential oil to the aroma stone. Place it in a small gauze bag and hang it on your bag or your child's school bag to help keep mosquitoes away!
