Experience the art of Japanese tea brewing with our handcrafted teapot from Tokoname, Japan. This teapot is meticulously designed to optimize the brewing of deep-steamed green tea (fukamushi-cha), although it is equally effective with all types of green teas, including gyokuro. Its versatility makes it perfect for both personal use and hosting, capable of brewing single cups or multiple servings with ease.

A standout feature of this Tokoname teapot is the innovative built-in stainless steel infuser screen, strategically placed to cover only a small area inside the spout. This design is particularly effective at preventing the fine, sometimes dust-like particles of fukamushi tea leaves from escaping into the cup, a common issue with other teapots.

With a capacity of 11 ounces (320ml), this teapot not only provides functionality but also adds a touch of elegance to your tea time, embodying the traditional craftsmanship of Tokoname pottery. It's an essential for any green tea enthusiast looking to enhance their brewing process and enjoy the full flavor and aroma of their favorite teas.

Introducing our innovative left-handed teapot, a rare find specially designed for the green tea enthusiast. Crafted with precision in Tokoname, Japan, a region celebrated for its exquisite ceramic artistry, this teapot is an exceptional choice for those who prefer using their left hand. Its unique design makes it particularly suitable for brewing deep-steamed green tea (fukamushi-cha), although it excels with all types of green tea, including gyokuro.

The challenge with brewing fukamushi, which often consists of fine, dust-like leaves, is that small particles can clog the mesh of standard teapots. Our teapot addresses this issue with a specialized built-in stainless steel infuser screen strategically placed inside the spout to minimize blockages and enhance the brewing process. This feature ensures a smooth, enjoyable tea experience with every pour.

With a capacity of 12 ounces (360ml), this teapot is perfect for preparing both multiple cups or a single cup of green tea, catering to your specific needs at any moment. Embrace the craftsmanship and thoughtful design of our left-handed Tokoname teapot and enhance your tea rituals with this specialized tool made just for you.

Introducing our exquisite handcrafted glazed teapot from Tokoname, Japan, renowned for its quality ceramic craftsmanship. This teapot is beautifully designed with a tall, slim profile, making it particularly well-suited for brewing deep-steamed (fukamushi) green tea, as its shape helps accommodate the finer tea particles typical of this style.

Featuring a finely meshed, removable stainless steel infuser basket, this teapot combines traditional aesthetics with modern convenience, facilitating easy cleaning and efficient tea steeping. While it is optimized for deep and medium-steamed green teas, this versatile teapot can also brew gyokuro or light-steamed green teas in a pinch. However, for those particular teas, which require ample room for leaf expansion, a different style of teapot might be preferable. For enthusiasts who primarily brew these types of teas, we recommend exploring our Asamushi, Gyokuro, and Light-Steamed Teapots category for more suitable options.

With a capacity of 370ml (12.5 oz), this teapot is perfect for serving several cups of your favorite green tea, making it both a practical and beautiful addition to your tea brewing collection.
