This exquisitely crafted Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made from a dark grey clay, partially decorated with a shiny brown-green ash glaze.
This kyusu's wider, flatter shape helps extract umami from high-grade sencha and gyokuro. It boasts a wide top opening so you can watch the leaves unfurl as they steep and clean them out more easily.
Its built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.
This kyusu was made by Sawada Tomohiro (澤田朋大).
