Gyokko Flat Yakishime Tokoname Teapot

The low-profile design is intentional. It provides more surface area for tea leaves to spread out fully, which is critical for extracting the delicate, nuanced flavors of high-grade Japanese green teas like sencha and gyokuro.

The sasame filter is an integrated ceramic mesh built directly into the spout area of the teapot. Because it is made of the same clay as the pot, it doesn't affect the flavor of your tea, and its fine perforations effectively catch small leaf particles without clogging.

This teapot has a capacity of 6.76 ounces. It is sized specifically for personal use or for serving one to two people, making it ideal for concentrated, high-quality brews.
