Aprika Life Kuysu Teapot

The Sawayaka Mesh is a specialized, fine-mesh stainless steel filter integrated directly into the teapot's spout area. Unlike removable basket infusers, this design allows tea leaves to expand fully inside the pot for better flavor extraction while effectively preventing debris from entering your cup.

Yes, Tokoname clay is a traditional, slightly porous ceramic. Over time, the clay can absorb the oils and tannins of the teas you brew, which many enthusiasts believe adds depth and character to future infusions.

With a 360 ml (12 fl oz) capacity, this teapot typically yields two standard Japanese tea cups or one generous mug of tea. It is designed primarily for individual use or intimate tea service.

The ergonomic handle is designed to sit away from the main body of the pot, which helps it remain cool to the touch while the ceramic body holds the heat of your water. However, as with all ceramic teapots, it is best to handle it with care if the water is at a rolling boil.

Rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or abrasive scrubbers, as the porous nature of the clay can absorb cleaning agents and affect the flavor of your next brew.
