Know before you buy
Tokoname clay is highly regarded for its mineral composition, which is believed to soften the water and enhance the flavor profile of Japanese green teas. Over time, the porous nature of the unglazed clay can also absorb the oils of the tea, subtly seasoning the pot with each use.
This teapot is designed for concentrated, individual brewing or serving small portions for two. It is best suited for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies where small, intense cups of Sencha or Gyokuro are preferred.
The teapot features a handcrafted, permanent mesh filter integrated directly into the clay body. It is specifically engineered to handle the small, needle-like leaves of Sencha and Gyokuro without clogging, ensuring a clean pour.
Yes, avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay can absorb these scents and affect future brews. Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off to prevent any moisture buildup.
While you can technically use it for any tea, it is best to dedicate this pot to one type of tea. Because the clay is porous, it will retain the aroma of the leaves, which could lead to flavor cross-contamination if you switch between strongly flavored teas.
