Ippodo Tea Kyusu Teapot

This is a true left-handed Kyusu. The handle is positioned specifically on the left side, allowing you to grip the pot naturally with your left hand while controlling the pour with your thumb on the lid.

The integrated ceramic filter is precision-crafted to catch even fine tea particles. It is highly effective for deep-steamed teas, ensuring a clean, sediment-free pour without the need for an additional mesh strainer.

At 8 ounces, this teapot is sized for a single generous serving or two smaller cups. It is best suited for intimate, personal tea rituals rather than large group gatherings.

Like most high-quality Tokoname-yaki ceramics, the matte finish is durable but can develop a unique patina with regular use. We recommend rinsing it thoroughly after each session and drying it completely to maintain its appearance.

Yes, the lid is designed with a tight, precise fit against the body. When held correctly, it creates a reliable seal that prevents leaks and ensures a smooth, controlled pour.
