Tsuzuki Seihō Tokoname Teapot

Tokoname clay is naturally iron-rich, which interacts with the tannins in tea to mellow out astringency. This results in a smoother, more balanced flavor profile compared to brewing in glass or porcelain.

The sasame filter is integrated directly into the clay body, featuring precise, laser-cut slits that are highly effective at straining fine Japanese green tea leaves. It prevents clogging while maintaining a consistent, steady pour.

Yes, this piece is designed for daily brewing. While it features delicate artistic detailing, the Tokoname clay is durable and intended to be used regularly, developing a unique patina over time as it absorbs the oils from your tea.

With a capacity of 6.76 ounces, this teapot is sized for a single serving or two small cups of tea. It is best suited for traditional, concentrated infusions rather than large-volume brewing.

Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb those scents and affect the flavor of future brews.
