Key Features

Built-in Mesh Strainer: The teapot includes a stainless-steel mesh inside, which, unlike other meshes, is less likely to cause tea leaves to get clogged. Therefore, it is suitable for a wider range of tea leaves, including deep-steamed tea leaves. As it is attached using the elasticity of the stainless-steel mesh, it is advisable not to exert too much force when cleaning the teapot. Be especially careful with the seams of the mesh. We recommend washing by simply soaking the teapot in a household cleaning agent.

Side Handle: Unlike many Western teapots with a handle opposite the spout, kyusu teapots have a side handle. This design makes it easier to pour the tea with precision.

Yokode Design: The teapot boasts the classic yokode handle, allowing for effortless pouring and precise control. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, making your tea ritual a pleasure from start to finish.

Perfect Size: With a balanced capacity suitable for individual or small group servings, this teapot is ideal for savoring premium green teas such as sencha or gyokuro. The size is perfect for intimate gatherings or moments of personal reflection.

Artisanal Touch: Each Yokode no Kyusu Teapot is a work of art, crafted by skilled artisans who pay meticulous attention to detail. The teapot's aesthetic appeal is matched only by its functional excellence, making it a delightful addition to your tea collection.
