Know before you buy
The teapot has a total capacity of 160cc (5.4 fl oz). Because it is designed to be filled to about 80% capacity for optimal brewing, it is best suited for a single, generous serving of tea.
No, this teapot is not suitable for either. The pottery material and wooden handle require hand washing to maintain their integrity and finish.
Yes, the integrated metal strainer is designed to filter standard loose-leaf teas effectively. However, if you are brewing very fine tea dust or powders, some sediment may still pass through.
Because each piece is handmade using traditional Tokoname techniques, there will be slight variations in the marbled finish and texture. You can expect your teapot to have unique characteristics that distinguish it from others.
The wooden handle is a fixed design feature intended for comfortable pouring. It is crafted to balance the weight of the teapot when full, providing a stable grip for serving.
