About

Warm earth tones and a low, open shape bring a quiet simplicity to the tea table. Fine lines circle the body, adding subtle texture to its smooth finish.

Design & Function

- The wide, shallow body gives tea leaves room to open, making it especially suited to gyokuro and fine sencha.

- A generous lid opening makes it easy to watch the leaves unfold and remove them after brewing.

- The traditional side handle supports a measured, gentle pour.

Material

Yakishime (焼きしめ): Unglazed, high-fired clay that showcases the natural texture and character of the earth.

Size

Dimensions: 5.71" (L) x 4.72" (W) x 2.76" (H)
Capacity: 160ml

Use

For brewing loose-leaf Japanese green tea, particularly gyokuro and sencha. Pour slowly and drain fully between infusions, allowing each steep to reveal a different expression of the leaves.

Care

Rinse gently with warm water after use. Allow the teapot to dry completely with the lid removed. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and sudden temperature changes.
