Know before you buy
The unglazed clay is porous and interacts with the tea leaves during brewing. Over time, it helps to mellow out astringency and soften the flavor profile of your tea, making it particularly well-suited for Japanese green teas.
With a 180ml capacity, this teapot is designed specifically for single-serving use. It is ideal for a focused, personal tea ritual rather than serving a large group.
Because the clay is unglazed, you should rinse it with warm water only. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous material can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of future brews.
No, this teapot is not safe for stovetop, microwave, or dishwasher use. It is a delicate piece of traditional ceramic ware intended for brewing tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.
Yes, the integrated fine steel mesh filter is designed to catch small particles and leaf fragments. It ensures a clean, clear pour even when brewing finely processed Japanese tea leaves.
