About

LOAD&ROAD is a Japanese hardware company behind 'teplo', a smart teapot that uses a smartphone app and six built-in sensors to automatically optimize tea brewing by measuring pulse, finger temperature, room temperature, humidity, light, and noise levels. The teplo device won the CES Innovation Award and Engadget Best Buy 2020, and pairs with a proprietary tea leaf subscription service. The company was founded by a Japanese hardware engineer and an Indian software engineer who met during MBA studies, combining patent-pending extraction technology with AI-driven personalization.
