This Japanese teapot is crafted from Tokoname clay, a highly esteemed clay rich in minerals, exclusively sourced from Japan. While all clay teapots are unique, Tokoname clay stands out due to its exceptional properties. This particular clay is less porous than other types. However, this characteristic allows the teapot to retain heat better and enhance the flavors of the tea over time.
The teapot has a soft, cream-yellow color, giving it a light and soothing appearance. It features a rounded, spherical body with a smooth surface, a short spout, and a horizontal handle for easy pouring. The lid has a small knob on top for convenient handling. Inside, it has a baked-in strainer to filter tea leaves, ensuring a smooth pour. This Tokoname clay teapot blends traditional craftsmanship with practical design, making it a perfect choice for tea enthusiasts who value both form and function.
