Murakoshi Fugetsu Kyusu

Shudei clay is iron-rich and unglazed, which interacts with the tannins in tea. This process helps soften the astringency of green teas, resulting in a smoother, mellower flavor profile.

The debeso filter is built directly into the clay body of the pot. Because it is ceramic, it won't impart any metallic taste to your tea, and it provides a natural, efficient way to strain leaves without needing an additional insert.

Because unglazed clay is porous and absorbs the oils and aromas of the tea brewed inside, it is best to dedicate this kyusu to one specific type of tea, such as sencha or other Japanese green teas, to avoid flavor contamination.

Rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and affect the taste of future brews.

Sujihiki refers to the subtle, horizontal wheel marks left on the exterior of the pot. It is a deliberate aesthetic choice that showcases the potter's craftsmanship and adds a tactile, authentic texture to the surface.

At 250ml, this teapot is ideally sized for one to two people. It is perfect for enjoying several small, concentrated infusions of high-quality loose leaf tea.
