MysticMugTea Tokoname Yaki Kyusu Teapot

This teapot is crafted from iron-rich Tokoname clay, which is naturally porous. Over time, the clay absorbs the oils and tannins from your tea, which helps to mellow out bitterness and enhance the flavor profile of your brews as the pot becomes seasoned.

Because the porous clay absorbs flavors, it is best to dedicate this pot to one specific type of tea, such as green tea. If you switch between vastly different teas, the lingering flavors from previous brews may affect the taste of your current cup.

Avoid using soap or detergents, as the clay will absorb the chemicals and ruin the flavor of your tea. Simply rinse the pot thoroughly with hot water after each use and let it air dry completely with the lid off.

A 9-ounce capacity is designed for a personal tea ritual or serving one to two people. It is sized perfectly for traditional Japanese green tea brewing, where smaller, concentrated infusions are preferred.

The side-handle, or 'kyusu' style, is actually designed for ergonomic pouring. It allows you to control the flow of tea precisely with your wrist, making it easier to pour the last drops from the pot without straining your hand.

The high-quality stainless-steel mesh is food-safe and resistant to rust. It is designed to be neutral, ensuring it does not impart any metallic taste to your tea while effectively catching even the smallest leaf particles.
