Discover the beauty of Japanese tea craftsmanship with Crimson Horizon, a handmade Tokoname Flat Kyusu teapot crafted from traditional Japanese red clay. Its elegant, low-profile body and comfortable side handle combine timeless design with exceptional functionality.

Why Tokoname Is Famous

Tokoname, located in Aichi Prefecture, is one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, with a pottery tradition spanning nearly 1,000 years. Renowned for its high-quality red clay (Shudei) and masterful craftsmanship, Tokoname is especially celebrated for its Japanese green tea teapots. Its traditionally unglazed clay is prized for its smooth texture, natural beauty, and tea-brewing qualities.

Special Flat-Bottom Design

Unlike traditional rounded teapots, this Flat Kyusu features a wide, shallow interior that allows tea leaves to spread out evenly and unfold naturally during brewing.

This thoughtful design is especially suitable for delicate Japanese green teas such as Gyokuro and Shincha, as well as Sencha and other flat or long-leaf green teas. The spacious bottom encourages even water contact and gentle extraction, helping bring out the tea’s natural sweetness, umami, and delicate aroma.

Built-In Fine Clay Strainer

A finely perforated clay strainer is integrated inside the teapot, allowing tea to flow smoothly while keeping even small Japanese green tea leaves inside. Its numerous tiny holes make it especially practical for brewing fine-leaf Sencha and other Japanese green teas.

Perfect for Japanese Green Tea

The natural red clay, flat-bottom design, and fine built-in strainer work together to create a thoughtful brewing experience. The comfortable side handle offers easy control when pouring, while the compact 170ml capacity is ideal for personal tea sessions or sharing a few small cups.
