Fujita Tokuta Kyusu

The unglazed interior is a hallmark of traditional Tokoname ware. It allows the porous clay to interact with the tea, which can soften the water and enhance the flavor profile of your leaves over time.

The integrated ceramic mesh is precision-crafted to handle standard loose-leaf teas effectively. While it works well for most green teas, very fine or powdery leaves may occasionally pass through, which is typical for this style of traditional filter.

We recommend hand-washing this set with warm water only. The unglazed interior and delicate ceramic construction can be damaged by the harsh detergents and high heat cycles of a dishwasher.

The handle is ergonomically shaped for a comfortable grip, but because it is made of ceramic, it can retain heat if the teapot is filled with boiling water. It is designed to be held securely, but use caution if you are sensitive to heat.

Yes, because the interior is unglazed, the clay will absorb subtle oils and aromas from the tea you brew. For this reason, many enthusiasts prefer to dedicate this teapot to a single type of tea, such as sencha or hojicha, to build up a unique seasoning over time.
