Know before you buy
Tokoname-yaki clay is a traditional Japanese material known for its porous nature, which helps mellow out the tannins in tea. Over time, the clay absorbs the oils of the tea leaves, which can subtly enhance the flavor profile of your infusions.
The built-in ceramic sasame filter is finely crafted to catch small tea leaves while allowing for a smooth, consistent pour. It is highly effective for most Japanese green teas, though very fine powders like matcha should not be used in this pot.
Yes, it is designed for daily use, but it requires gentle care. It is not dishwasher safe, so you should rinse it with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry completely; avoid using soap, as the porous clay can absorb the scent.
No, this teapot is not microwave safe. The thermal shock from a microwave can damage the traditional clay construction.
The 320ml capacity is ideal for one to two people. It typically yields two standard Japanese tea cups, making it perfect for personal tea sessions or intimate gatherings.
