Know before you buy
Kokudei clay is a traditional Tokoname material known for its high mineral content. It is prized for its ability to mellow the tannins in tea, resulting in a smoother, more balanced flavor profile compared to standard ceramic or glass pots.
The sasame filter is a precision-crafted ceramic mesh built directly into the teapot wall. Because it covers a wider surface area than a standard metal infuser, it allows for faster, clog-free pouring while effectively straining even smaller tea leaves.
While the delicate sakura design makes it a beautiful display piece, it is fully functional and designed for daily use. The ergonomic handle and precision pour spout are crafted for comfort and control during your regular tea rituals.
Simply rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous nature of the clay can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of future brews.
With a 270 ml capacity, this teapot is perfectly sized for one to two people. It is ideal for multiple short infusions, allowing you to enjoy several small cups of high-quality loose-leaf tea.
