Fujita Tokuta Kaiyaki Tokoname Teapot

The flat, trapezoidal silhouette is specifically engineered to provide more surface area for the tea leaves to expand and circulate. This design optimizes leaf-to-water contact, which is essential for achieving a balanced, superior extraction, particularly with delicate green teas.

The integrated sasame filter is crafted directly into the clay body of the teapot. It is designed to be clog-resistant and highly efficient, allowing you to pour your tea smoothly without the need for an additional mesh strainer.

The lustrous dark grey finish is achieved through a specialized firing technique known as 'kaiyaki,' rather than a surface coating or paint. This means the metallic appearance is integral to the ceramic material itself and will not peel or flake over time.

With a capacity of 8.45 ounces, this teapot is sized for personal use or for serving one to two people. It is best suited for high-grade loose leaf teas where you prefer to brew smaller, concentrated infusions.

Yes, the spout geometry is specifically refined to cut off the flow of liquid cleanly after pouring. This minimizes the common issue of tea dribbling down the side of the pot, keeping your table and the teapot exterior clean.
