Tezumi Mishima Circle Tokoname Teapot

The unglazed Tokoname-yaki clay is porous, which allows it to absorb subtle oils and tannins from your tea over time. This process can soften the astringency of green teas and create a smoother, more mellow flavor profile with regular use.

Because the unglazed clay is porous and retains the character of the teas brewed in it, we recommend dedicating this pot to one specific category of tea, such as Japanese green teas, to avoid flavor contamination.

Simply rinse the teapot with hot water immediately after use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the scent and residue, which can negatively impact future brews.

This size is ideal for a single serving or two small cups of tea, making it perfect for focused, mindful brewing sessions. It is designed for the traditional Japanese method of multiple short infusions rather than brewing a large pot at once.

The clay handle is designed to stay cool to the touch during standard brewing times. However, if you are using boiling water, the handle may become warm, so we recommend handling it with care.
