Tosen Nerikomi Teapot

The ceramesh filter is built directly into the clay body of the teapot, which allows for a much finer filtration than standard metal mesh. It effectively catches small tea particles while ensuring a smooth, consistent pour without affecting the flavor of your tea.

At 200 ml, this teapot is designed for a single-serving or a shared tasting experience. It is ideal for brewing concentrated infusions, such as high-quality Japanese green teas, which are typically enjoyed in smaller, repeated steeps.

Because this is a porous pottery piece, you should avoid using soap or detergents, which can absorb into the clay and alter future brews. Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off.

Tokoname-style iron-rich clay is prized for its ability to soften the water and round out the astringency of green teas. Over time, the clay will season with the specific teas you brew, subtly enhancing the flavor profile of your favorite leaves.

While it is exceptionally well-suited for Japanese green teas like sencha or gyokuro, its size and material make it versatile for any tea that benefits from multiple short infusions. We recommend dedicating this pot to one type of tea to avoid cross-contamination of flavors within the porous clay.
