Tokyo Matcha Selection Tokoname Kyusu

Tokoname ware is renowned for its high-quality clay, which is rich in iron. This mineral content is believed to react with the tannins in green tea, effectively mellowing the astringency and enhancing the tea's natural sweetness.

The integrated ceramic mesh is precision-crafted directly into the teapot's body. Unlike stainless steel filters, it won't impart any metallic taste to your tea and is less likely to clog, ensuring a smooth pour even with finely ground tea leaves.

This teapot is designed primarily for personal use or for serving two small cups of tea. Its 230cc capacity is ideal for enjoying a concentrated, high-quality brew without having excess tea sit and over-steep.

Rinse the teapot with warm water immediately after use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous ceramic can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of your future brews.

While it is optimized for Japanese green teas like Sencha or Gyokuro, you can certainly use it for other loose-leaf teas. However, keep in mind that unglazed ceramic teapots can absorb the oils and aromas of the tea brewed in them, so it is best to dedicate one pot to a specific type of tea to avoid flavor mixing.
