Murakoshi Fugetsu Teapot

The integrated ceramic strainer is built directly into the teapot's spout, which eliminates the need for metal filters. This ensures that your tea's flavor profile remains pure and untainted by any metallic aftertaste, allowing the natural characteristics of the leaves to shine through.

Because this teapot is handcrafted from porous red clay, it should be hand-washed with warm water only. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the clay can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of future brews. Simply rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely.

While you can use it for various teas, red clay teapots are often best dedicated to one type of tea—such as oolong or pu-erh—because the porous material absorbs the oils and flavors of the tea over time. If you prefer to switch between very different tea varieties, you may notice lingering notes from previous brews.

No, this teapot is not designed for direct heat. It should not be used on a stovetop, in a microwave, or in a dishwasher. It is intended solely for steeping tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.

This teapot has a capacity of 290cc, which is approximately 9.8 ounces. It is perfectly sized for a single serving or two small traditional tea cups, making it ideal for a focused, personal tea ritual.
