Know before you buy
The teapot has a functional capacity of 160cc, or approximately 5.4 fluid ounces, when filled to 80% of its total volume. This size is specifically designed for brewing concentrated, high-quality Japanese green teas.
The teapot features a built-in Sasame ceramic strainer, which is precision-engineered to prevent clogging. It is highly effective at filtering out small particles while allowing for a smooth, consistent pour.
No, this teapot is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate nature of the handmade red clay and the artisanal finish, we recommend hand-washing it gently with warm water and avoiding harsh detergents.
The combination of the red clay material and the airtight lid creates a stable, consistent environment for infusion. This allows delicate teas like Gyokuro to unfurl slowly, ensuring you extract the full, nuanced flavor profile without bitterness.
This piece merges the functional expertise of Tokoname pottery—known for its high-quality clay and pouring precision—with the refined aesthetic traditions of Kutani ware. The result is a teapot that balances technical performance with a sophisticated, minimalist design.
