This unique handmade kyūsu from Tokoname, Japan, is a must-have for tea enthusiasts who enjoy a variety of teas. Whether you’re brewing Japanese green tea, Chinese teas, Taiwanese oolongs, or even lighter black teas, this teapot is designed to enhance your tea experience.
Why This Teapot Stands Out:
Fine Clay Strainer: Unlike many teapots with large strainers that let small leaves through, this teapot features a finely crafted clay strainer. It’s perfect for both fine teas like Japanese green tea and larger-leaf teas, ensuring smooth pouring without clogging.
Effortless Pouring: The wide strainer inside the teapot ensures even distribution of leaves and a steady pour, essential for precise steeping across all types of tea.
Clay Material for Flavor Enhancement: Made from natural Tokoname clay, this teapot absorbs the flavor of your tea over time. To season it properly and maximize the flavor, it’s recommended to dedicate the teapot to one type of tea—such as green, oolong, or black—while avoiding soap during cleaning.
Timeless Design, Endless Versatility: This kyūsu blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern functionality. Its versatility makes it ideal for anyone who enjoys exploring a variety of teas, from the grassy sweetness of sencha to the floral complexity of oolongs or the roasted richness of Chinese black teas.
