The Tokoname clay kyusu teapot, a testament to Japan's rich pottery heritage, holds a profound history that stretches back over 900 years to the elegant days of the Heian Period. Renowned as one of Japan's six original kiln styles, it has captured the hearts of tea enthusiasts with its unique qualities. Sourced from the Tokoname region in Aichi Prefecture, known for its pottery tradition, Tokoname clay teapots embody the local charm.

It becomes a faithful companion, adapting and evolving with you as you explore the world of tea.
A notable feature of this Tokoname clay kyusu teapot is its mesh lining filter integrated into its design. This filter ensures a smooth and seamless pouring experience, preventing the passage of even the tiniest particles and allowing only pure and aromatic tea liquor into your cup.
