Tezumi Japanese Kyusu Teapot

Tokoname shudei clay is rich in iron, which reacts with the tannins in tea to reduce bitterness. This results in a noticeably smoother, mellower flavor profile compared to brewing in glass or porcelain.

The mogake technique is a decorative firing process where seaweed is wrapped around the clay before it enters the kiln. It is purely aesthetic and does not compromise the structural integrity or durability of the teapot.

Yes, the ceramic sasame filter is specifically designed with a wide, fine-mesh structure that prevents clogging while effectively straining even the smallest tea particles. It is highly efficient for deep-steamed teas that often block standard filters.

Rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous nature of the unglazed clay can absorb scents and chemicals.

A 220ml capacity is ideal for one to two people, depending on the size of your tea cups. It is perfectly sized for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies where small, concentrated servings are preferred.
