Know before you buy
Yohen is a specialized firing process that involves multiple firings to create unique, unpredictable color variations and textures on the ceramic surface. Because of this technique, no two teapots are exactly alike, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
Yes, the integrated ceramic mesh is designed to effectively strain tea leaves while allowing for a smooth pour. It is particularly well-suited for standard Japanese green teas, though very fine dust-grade teas may occasionally pass through.
With a capacity of 220 ml (7.4 oz), this teapot is ideal for serving one to two people. It is perfectly sized for traditional, concentrated infusions where you might enjoy multiple small pours.
To preserve the finish and integrity of the ceramic, rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the delicate plum blossom engraving and the natural texture of the clay.
The teapot features a traditional side-handle design, which is ergonomically balanced for a controlled pour. It is designed to be held comfortably in one hand, allowing you to pour with precision.
