No, it does not. The teapot features an integrated filtration system built directly into the spout area, which effectively catches loose tea leaves and ensures a clean, sediment-free pour without needing extra accessories.

The teapot has a capacity of 270ml. This size is specifically calibrated for intimate tea sessions, making it ideal for brewing two to three small cups of Japanese green tea, white tea, or oolong.

Yes, this set is made from handcrafted clay. Because it is unglazed on the inside, the clay may absorb some of the tea's oils over time, which can enhance the flavor profile of the specific tea type you brew most frequently.

To maintain the integrity of the clay, rinse the teapot and cups with warm water immediately after use and let them air dry completely. Avoid using soap or harsh detergents, as the porous clay can absorb these scents and affect the taste of future brews.
