Fujita Tokuta Tokoname Yaki Kyusu

Tokoname clay is porous and known for absorbing the tannins of green tea over time. With regular use, the teapot will 'season,' smoothing out the bitterness of your tea and enhancing its natural sweetness and aroma.

At 210cc, this kyusu is perfectly sized for one or two people. It is designed for the traditional Japanese method of brewing small, concentrated infusions of high-quality loose-leaf tea.

Simply rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and let it air dry thoroughly with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay can absorb these scents and affect the flavor of future brews.

The traditional side-handle is designed for a right-handed pour, allowing you to control the flow with your thumb while gripping the handle. While it can be used by left-handed individuals, it may feel less intuitive than a standard teapot.

Yes, because it is crafted from natural pottery, the body of the teapot will retain heat. Always handle it by the side handle, which is designed to stay cool enough to hold while pouring.
