Customer appreciation for this traditional Japanese Kyusu teapot centers on its superior functionality and masterful craftsmanship. Reviewers consistently highlight how this vessel elevates the tea brewing ritual, especially for Sencha and Gyokuro.

Know before you buy
This Kyusu has a capacity of approximately 95 to 100ml (3.38 ounces). It is designed specifically for focused, single-serving tea rituals rather than brewing for multiple people.
No, it features an integrated fine ceramic strainer built directly into the body of the pot. This permanent mesh filter is designed to handle delicate green tea leaves without the need for additional accessories.
While it can be used for various teas, its design and integrated strainer are optimized for Japanese green teas brewed at lower temperatures. The flat shape allows leaves to expand fully, extracting the best flavor profile from high-quality sencha or gyokuro.
To maintain the integrity of the clay, 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.
The traditional side handle provides better leverage and control when pouring, especially with a smaller, flat-style teapot. It allows for a precise, steady pour that is essential when serving small, concentrated amounts of tea.
