Know before you buy
The bamboo handle is designed to be a permanent fixture of the teapot's aesthetic. We recommend wiping the handle clean with a damp cloth rather than submerging it in water to maintain the integrity of the natural material.
With a capacity of 11.8 ounces, this teapot is designed for single-serving use. It is perfectly sized for one generous mug or two small traditional Japanese tea cups.
While the design is optimized for Japanese green teas, the included stainless-steel strainer makes it versatile enough for any loose-leaf tea. The fine mesh filter is effective at keeping even smaller tea leaves out of your cup.
Due to the delicate bone china construction and the natural bamboo handle, we recommend hand washing this teapot. Avoid the dishwasher to prevent potential damage to the finish and the handle.
The strainer is designed to sit securely within the opening of the teapot, allowing enough room for leaves to expand while ensuring the water fully infuses the tea. It is deep enough to accommodate smaller volumes of water, making it ideal for single servings.
