Tezumi Japanese Kyusu Teapot

Shudei clay is a signature Tokoname-yaki material known for its high iron content. This mineral composition interacts with the tea to help mellow out astringency, resulting in a smoother, more balanced flavor profile.

The sasame filter is built directly into the clay body of the teapot, meaning there are no metal parts to potentially affect the taste of your tea. Its wide, integrated design allows for a faster, more consistent pour while effectively straining out fine leaves.

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

Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous nature of the clay can absorb those scents and affect the flavor of future brews.

The dotted lines are subtle and provide a tactile, refined texture that actually improves your grip on the teapot. It is designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and functional during the pouring process.
