Fugetek Yohen Sujihiki Teapot

The integrated ceramic mesh is designed to handle standard loose-leaf varieties effectively. While it works well for most green and black teas, very fine dust or fannings may pass through, so it is best suited for whole-leaf or medium-cut teas.

Yes, the side-handle is ergonomically shaped to provide better leverage and control while pouring compared to a traditional top-handle teapot. It allows for a steady, precise stream, which is particularly useful when pouring small amounts into multiple cups.

This teapot holds 7.4 ounces, making it ideal for a single serving or two small cups of tea. It is best suited for personal tea rituals rather than serving a large group.

Ceramic is excellent at retaining heat, which helps maintain a consistent brewing temperature throughout the steeping process. However, because it is a thicker material, it will absorb some heat initially, so pre-warming the pot with hot water before adding your tea leaves is recommended.

To preserve the finish and integrity of the ceramic, hand wash the teapot with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the agitation and harsh detergents can damage the delicate handcrafted surface and the built-in filter.
