Key Features
Traditional Tokoname Craftsmanship
Produced in Tokoname, one of Japan’s most celebrated pottery regions, this teapot reflects a thousand years of ceramic expertise and cultural heritage.
Stainless Steel Tea Strainer
Equipped with a durable stainless steel mesh strainer, this Kyusu is particularly suitable for fine-leaf deep-steamed Japanese teas (Fukamushi Sencha). The fine mesh effectively filters small tea particles for a smooth and enjoyable cup.
Perfect Size for Two Servings
With a capacity of approximately 200ml, this teapot is ideal for brewing two cups of tea, based on a serving size of 100ml per person.
Unique Carbonized Black Finish

Comfortable and Functional Design
Designed for ease of use, the lightweight body and side handle allow for precise pouring, helping you brew Japanese tea with confidence and control.
