Know before you buy
Nerikomi is a traditional Japanese decorative technique where different colored clays are stacked, folded, and sliced to create intricate, marbled patterns. In this set, ivory and yellow-gold clays are blended to achieve the unique, organic aesthetic of the teapot.
The sasame filter is a fine, perforated ceramic screen built directly into the spout area of the teapot. It is designed to strain loose-leaf teas like sencha effectively without the need for a separate metal infuser, ensuring a smooth pour.
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. To preserve the integrity of the ceramic and porcelain, we recommend hand-washing each piece gently with warm water and avoiding harsh detergents.
Yes, the 250ml capacity and the precise pour of the kyusu make it excellent for various Japanese green teas, as well as gong fu style brewing. The smaller 60ml teacups are specifically designed to help you appreciate the nuanced flavors of high-grade, concentrated tea infusions.
The teapot is crafted from Tokoname-yaki ceramic, which is prized for its porous nature that can enhance the flavor of tea over time. The five accompanying teacups are made of Mino-yaki porcelain, which is non-porous and provides a clean, neutral surface that highlights the color and clarity of your tea.
