Know before you buy
The unglazed clay is porous, which allows it to absorb subtle tea oils over time. This process helps to mellow out astringency and enhance the natural flavor profile of your tea leaves.
The sasame filter is built directly into the clay body of the teapot. It is highly effective at straining fine tea leaves while preventing the metallic aftertaste sometimes associated with stainless steel infusers.
No, this teapot is not designed for direct heat. It should only be used for steeping tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.
Because the clay is unglazed, you should hand wash it using only warm water. Avoid using soap or a dishwasher, as the porous material can absorb cleaning agents and affect the flavor of future brews.
The 320ml capacity is best suited for one or two people. It is designed for intimate tea sessions where you can enjoy multiple infusions of high-quality loose-leaf tea.
