Tokoname Kyusu Tea Pot

The ceramic strainer is integrated into the pottery, which prevents any metallic aftertaste from interfering with the delicate flavor profile of your tea. It is specifically designed to handle fine and large-leaf teas effectively without clogging.

The three-stage firing process is a traditional Tokoname technique that strengthens the clay and sets the unique Akane Shibori marble pattern. This method results in a more durable, heat-resistant vessel that maintains its aesthetic finish over years of regular use.

This pot is best suited for one to two people. It is designed for the concentrated, repeated steeping of high-quality Sencha, where small, frequent pours are preferred over a large volume of tea.

Yes, while it is optimized for Sencha and large-leaf varieties, the porous nature of Tokoname pottery makes it an excellent choice for most green teas. However, because pottery can absorb aromas, it is best to dedicate this pot to green teas rather than switching between heavily scented teas like Earl Grey or herbal blends.

Simply rinse the pot with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous pottery can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of your future brews.
