Tezumi Kaiyaki Tokoname Teapot

The sasame filter is built directly into the clay body of the teapot, which allows for a natural, seamless straining process. Because it is ceramic rather than metal, it won't impart any metallic taste to your tea, ensuring a pure flavor profile.

Tokoname clay is known for its porous nature, which can subtly soften the water and round out the tannins in your tea over time. This makes it an excellent choice for brewing green teas, though it is versatile enough for most loose-leaf varieties.

This capacity is ideal for an intimate tea session, typically serving one to two people comfortably. It is designed for multiple short infusions rather than brewing a large batch at once.

Simply rinse the teapot with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off. Avoid using soap or abrasive scrubbers, as the clay can absorb scents and the unique kaiyaki finish should be handled with care.

The taller shape is primarily an aesthetic choice that gives the vessel a distinct, elegant presence on your table. It does not negatively impact the pour; the spout is engineered to provide a smooth, controlled stream.
