Fujita Tokuta Teapot

The sasame filter is built directly into the ceramic body of the teapot, featuring fine, laser-cut holes. This design allows for a smooth, sediment-free pour without the need for a separate metal mesh basket, which can sometimes alter the flavor of delicate teas.

While the wide, trapezoidal shape is specifically engineered to optimize the extraction of delicate leaves like sencha or gyokuro, it works well for any loose-leaf tea that requires room to unfurl. However, because it is unglazed ceramic, it is best to dedicate this pot to one type of tea to avoid flavor cross-contamination.

Rinse the teapot with hot water immediately after each 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 taste of your future brews.

The side handle is designed to stay cool to the touch during standard brewing times. Because it is made from the same ceramic material as the body, it is sturdy and provides a comfortable, balanced grip for pouring.

This teapot has a capacity of 200ml, which is ideal for brewing one to two cups of concentrated tea. It is best suited for personal use or intimate tea sessions where you want to focus on the nuances of the leaves.
