Know before you buy
The unglazed, high-temperature fired ceramic is slightly porous, which allows it to absorb some of the tea's tannins. This process helps soften the bitterness and astringency, resulting in a smoother, more rounded flavor profile.
Yes, the integrated ceramic mesh is designed to filter out fine particles effectively. However, because it is a ceramic mesh rather than a fine metal one, very small leaf fragments may occasionally pass through depending on the specific tea grade.
Rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous ceramic can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of future brews.
Yes, because the surface is unglazed, the teapot will gradually develop a unique patina as it absorbs the oils and tannins from the tea you brew. This process is a hallmark of high-quality Tokoname-yaki and reflects the history of your personal tea journey.
A 230cc capacity is ideal for brewing tea for one to two people. It is perfectly sized for multiple infusions, allowing you to enjoy several small, concentrated cups of high-quality Japanese green tea.
