Know before you buy
No, this teapot does not feature a built-in filter. It is designed for a clean, precision pour, making it best suited for tea bags or loose-leaf teas that are strained separately.
No, the Yagi Teapot cannot be used over an open flame or on a stovetop. It is intended to be used as a serving vessel for hot liquids that have already been heated.
The bamboo handle is designed to be a permanent, functional part of the teapot's aesthetic and utility. It is securely attached to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip while pouring.
Because each piece is crafted from red clay and finished with a kiln-altered glaze, there will be slight variations in texture and color. These individual differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your teapot is unique.
Yes, its versatile design makes it an excellent vessel for serving sake or even warm soup stocks. The precision spout ensures a controlled pour regardless of the contents.
We recommend hand-washing the teapot with mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to preserve the integrity of the kiln-altered glaze and the natural bamboo handle.
