Know before you buy
The unglazed Tokoname-yaki clay is porous, which allows it to absorb subtle oils and tannins from the tea over time. Many enthusiasts find this helps mellow out astringency and enhances the flavor profile of green teas.
Yes, the ceramic sasame filter is integrated directly into the teapot body and features precision-cut slits. It is highly effective at straining even small tea leaves, ensuring a clean pour without the need for an external mesh infuser.
Because this teapot is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it using only warm water. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of your future brews.
The 200ml capacity is designed for a personal tea ritual or serving one to two people. It is perfectly sized for multiple infusions of high-quality loose-leaf teas.
No, this teapot is not microwave safe. The thermal shock from microwave heating can damage the handcrafted clay, so it should only be used for brewing with hot water.
The spout is specifically engineered with a sharp edge to break the surface tension of the liquid, which effectively prevents drips. It allows for a controlled, clean pour every time.
