Murakoshi Fugetsu Teapot

The integrated ceramic strainer is built directly into the clay body, which prevents the metallic taste that can sometimes leach from stainless steel filters. It preserves the pure, unadulterated flavor of your tea leaves, though it works best with larger, whole-leaf teas rather than fine dust or fannings.

Tokoname red clay is porous and excellent at absorbing the oils and tannins of the tea brewed within it. Because of this, it is best to dedicate this teapot to one specific type of tea—such as Japanese green tea or oolong—to avoid cross-contamination of flavors over time.

Because this is unglazed, porous clay, you should never use soap or detergents, as the material will absorb the chemicals. Simply rinse the teapot thoroughly with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off.

No, this teapot is not designed for direct heat. It should only be used for steeping tea with water that has been heated in a separate kettle.

With a capacity of 290cc, or approximately 9.8 ounces, this teapot is perfectly sized for brewing one to two cups of tea. It is ideal for personal use or for serving a single guest.
