Teewald Shiboridashi

The Shiboridashi’s wide, shallow shape allows tea leaves to unfurl fully while providing excellent temperature control. This design is particularly effective for Japanese green teas like Gyokuro or Sencha, which benefit from lower brewing temperatures and shorter steeping times.

The integrated clay sieve is finely crafted to catch most leaf particles during the pour. However, because it is a ceramic filter rather than a fine-mesh metal one, you may occasionally see very small leaf fragments in your cup, which is typical for this traditional brewing style.

Yes, the handle on the lid is designed to stay cool enough to touch during the brewing process. It allows you to lift the lid easily to check the leaves or pour the tea without needing a separate cloth.

Because each Shiboridashi is individually crafted by Daria Miroshnychenko, there will be subtle variations in the glaze, shape, and texture. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of handmade ceramics and ensure that your piece is one-of-a-kind.

Absolutely. While it is optimized for Japanese green teas, the 200 ml capacity and open design make it a versatile tool for Kungfu-style brewing with oolong, black, or white teas.

Rinse the vessel with warm water immediately after use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents, as porous clay can absorb scents and chemicals that might affect the flavor of future brews.
