This elegant Banko-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made from a light-coloured, iron-rich, red Banko clay that contrasts with the vibrant, scarlet red hidasuki stripes. The porosity of this clay is known to subtly reduce the astringency of tea. The teapot's built-in ceramic debeso filter is perfect for naturally straining tea.
