Tezumi Oribe Tokoname Yuzamashi

A yuzamashi is used to cool boiling water to the precise temperature required for brewing delicate green teas. By pouring boiling water into this vessel first, you can lower the temperature effectively before transferring it to your teapot.

The wide opening increases the surface area of the water, which allows heat to escape more rapidly. This design ensures you can reach your target brewing temperature quickly without needing to wait for an extended period.
