Mizuba Tea Co. Tokoname Kyusu Teapot

A ceramic strainer is integrated directly into the clay body of the teapot, which prevents the metallic aftertaste sometimes associated with stainless steel mesh. It is specifically designed to handle the fine leaves of Japanese green teas like sencha, ensuring a smooth pour without clogging.

Yes, while it is optimized for Japanese varieties like sencha and genmaicha, the 240 ml capacity is versatile enough for any loose-leaf tea. However, because the clay is unglazed or specifically treated for Japanese tea rituals, you may want to dedicate this pot to one type of tea to prevent flavor absorption over time.

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 nature of the clay can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of future brews.

This size is ideal for a single serving or two small, traditional Japanese tea cups. It is designed for multiple infusions, allowing you to re-steep the leaves several times throughout a tea session.

Yes, this teapot is crafted from high-quality ceramic that has been rigorously tested to be lead-free and cadmium-free, ensuring your tea remains pure and safe to consume.
