Tezumi Teapot

Tokoname clay is known for its high iron content, which interacts with the tannins in green tea. This interaction can help soften the water and round out astringency, resulting in a smoother, more balanced flavor profile.

While it is specifically prized for green teas, you can certainly use it for other varieties. However, because unglazed clay is porous and absorbs the oils and aromas of the tea, it is best to dedicate this pot to one type of tea to avoid flavor contamination.

Rinse the teapot with hot water immediately after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and permanently alter the taste of your future brews.

The 100ml capacity is designed for precise, concentrated brewing, making it ideal for a single serving or for multiple short infusions of high-quality loose-leaf tea. It is not intended for brewing large mugs of tea at once.

Yes, this teapot features a built-in clay filter integrated into the spout. This design is standard for traditional Tokoname pots and effectively catches leaves while allowing for a smooth pour.
