Know before you buy
This teapot is specifically designed for brewing delicate Japanese green teas, such as Sencha and Gyokuro. Its Ton clay construction and compact size are ideal for the lower water temperatures required to bring out the nuanced flavors of these leaves.
No, it features a built-in, finely crafted ceramic strainer. This permanent mesh filter is designed to keep tea leaves out of your cup while allowing for a smooth, clean pour.
No, this teapot is not stovetop, microwave, or induction compatible. It is intended for brewing tea with pre-heated water.
Because it is made from traditional Ton clay, this teapot is not dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing it with warm water after each use and allowing it to air dry completely to preserve the integrity of the clay.
With a capacity of 180 ml (approximately 6 ounces), this teapot is designed primarily for personal enjoyment or serving one to two small cups of tea. It is best suited for intimate tea sessions rather than large gatherings.
