Know before you buy
Not at all. The handle arrives detached for shipping safety, but it snaps into the side loops easily without the need for tools.
No. Due to the delicate Arita porcelain and the vinyl-coated handle, this teapot must be hand-washed and should never be placed in a microwave or dishwasher.
This teapot is sized for group servings and will comfortably yield about two to three standard teacups per full brew.
The infuser is 2 inches deep, which is ideal for standard steeping. If you are brewing a very small amount of tea, you may need to ensure the water level is high enough to fully submerge the leaves inside the basket.
Yes. The top-handle design is specifically crafted to stay away from the heat source of the porcelain body, keeping it cool and comfortable to hold while pouring.
