Gyokko Tokoname Teapot

Mogake is a traditional firing technique where seaweed is wrapped around the clay before it goes into the kiln. As the pot fires, the seaweed leaves behind unique, organic patterns on the surface, making every piece one-of-a-kind.

The wider, flatter design allows tea leaves like sencha or gyokuro to unfurl fully without being cramped. This extra space ensures better water circulation, which is essential for extracting the delicate, nuanced flavors of premium green teas.

The integrated ceramic sasame filter is built directly into the teapot's spout, which allows the tea leaves to expand freely inside the pot. Because it is made of the same clay as the teapot, it won't impart any metallic taste to your brew, ensuring a pure and natural flavor profile.

This teapot is sized for personal use or for serving two people small, concentrated cups of tea. It is ideal for the traditional Japanese style of brewing, where you might perform multiple short infusions.

Simply rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or abrasive scrubbers, as the porous nature of the clay can absorb scents and residue over time.
