Know before you buy
The integrated ceramic Debeso filter prevents metallic notes from leaching into your tea, ensuring a cleaner, more authentic flavor profile. Because it is built directly into the clay body, it is also more durable and easier to clean than removable metal mesh inserts.
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate nature of traditional Tokoname-yaki clay, we recommend hand-washing with warm water and avoiding harsh detergents to preserve the finish.
This set includes five Yunomi teacups, making it perfect for serving up to five people. The 350ml capacity of the Kyusu is ideal for multiple small, concentrated infusions of high-quality Japanese green tea.
Shudei clay is a hallmark of Tokoname-yaki pottery, prized for its high iron content and excellent heat retention. This helps maintain a consistent brewing temperature, which is essential for extracting the best flavor from delicate tea leaves.
The side-handle design is specifically crafted to stay cool while the body of the pot holds the heat. It provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip that makes pouring precise and safe.
