Hokuryū Kiln Teapot

Because of its excellent heat retention, this teapot is ideal for teas that require high brewing temperatures, such as black tea, hojicha, and bancha. The iron-rich clay helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the steeping process.

The integrated ceramic mesh is precision-crafted directly into the clay body, which eliminates the metallic aftertaste sometimes associated with stainless steel filters. It provides superior filtration for finer tea leaves while remaining durable and easy to clean.

No, it is designed to be lightweight and ergonomic. The balance of the handle and the rounded shape makes it comfortable to pour, even when filled to capacity.

Tokoname clay is porous, so it is best to rinse it with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the clay can absorb those scents and affect the flavor of your future brews.

The rounded silhouette promotes optimal heat convection inside the pot. This movement ensures that the tea leaves unfurl evenly and release their full flavor profile more effectively than in a flat-bottomed vessel.
