Know before you buy
The iron-rich Tokoname clay is known to interact with the tannins in tea, which can help soften the astringency and produce a mellower, smoother flavor profile.
The sasame filter is a precision-crafted ceramic mesh integrated directly into the teapot body. It is designed to provide a wide surface area for fast, clog-free pouring while effectively straining even smaller tea leaves.
No, this teapot is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the handcrafted clay and the delicate haikake glaze, it should be hand-washed with warm water and dried thoroughly.
No, this teapot is not microwave safe. You should heat your water separately in a kettle before adding it to the teapot.
This teapot has a capacity of 330 ml, or approximately 11.16 ounces, which is ideal for serving one to two people.
Because each piece is handcrafted by an artisan, the haikake ash glaze and slip detailing will vary slightly from piece to piece. This ensures that your teapot is a unique work of art rather than a mass-produced item.
