Tezumi Kyusu Teapot

A do-ake filter is a series of small holes carved directly into the ceramic wall of the teapot's spout. Because it is part of the teapot itself rather than a separate metal mesh, it prevents any metallic taste from leaching into your tea and allows for a more natural infusion.

Yes, this teapot is versatile enough for most loose-leaf teas. However, because the do-ake filter has fixed holes, it works best with medium to large-leaf teas like sencha or oolong; very fine, dusty tea leaves may pass through the filter.

To clean, simply rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and ensure it is dried thoroughly. Since there is no removable basket, you can gently tap the leaves out of the spout or use a soft brush to clear any debris from the interior filter holes.

Agano-yaki is a historic Japanese pottery style originating from the 17th century, known for its refined, lightweight ceramic body and distinctive glazes. This piece features a signature gold-flecked turquoise enamel that is both visually striking and durable for daily use.

The 360ml capacity is ideal for one to two people, typically yielding two standard Japanese tea cups per brew. It is designed for intimate tea sessions rather than large gatherings.
