Know before you buy
The unglazed interior is a hallmark of traditional Tokoname teapots. It allows the porous clay to interact with the tea, which can help soften the water and enhance the flavor profile of your brew over time.
The integrated ceramic mesh is precision-crafted to filter out most tea leaves, including smaller Japanese green tea varieties like Sencha or Fukamushi. It provides a clean pour without the need for an additional metal infuser.
Because this set is handcrafted from delicate, unglazed ceramic, we recommend hand washing with warm water only. Avoid using soap or the dishwasher, as the porous clay can absorb scents and detergents.
Yes, due to the unglazed nature of the clay, the teapot may absorb subtle notes of the tea you brew most frequently. For this reason, many enthusiasts prefer to dedicate this pot to a single type of tea, such as green tea, to build up a unique seasoning.
The metallic-like finish is a natural result of the firing process. Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth after use to maintain its luster; avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the unique glaze accents.
The teapot features a side-handle design typical of a Kyusu, which is generally comfortable for both right- and left-handed users. The ergonomic shape is balanced to ensure a steady, controlled pour regardless of your dominant hand.
