Know before you buy
Tokoname-yaki is a traditional Japanese clay known for its porous nature. This quality helps to mellow the tannins in tea, resulting in a smoother, more balanced flavor profile compared to glass or porcelain vessels.
The integrated sasame filter is precision-crafted from the same ceramic as the teapot. It is highly effective at straining fine Japanese green tea leaves while preventing clogs, ensuring a clean pour without the need for a separate metal infuser.
While the teapot is durable, it is not dishwasher or microwave safe. To preserve the finish and the integrity of the clay, it should be hand-washed with warm water and dried thoroughly after each use.
The 200 ml capacity is designed for a single-serving ritual or two small traditional tea cups. It is ideal for high-quality loose-leaf teas that are intended to be steeped multiple times in quick succession.
Yes, the spout is specifically engineered with a drip-free design. This allows for a clean, controlled pour that minimizes mess and ensures the last drop lands in your cup rather than on your table.
