Fukamushi teapots are perfect for brewing green teas with extremely fine leaf particles, such as deep-steamed green tea. These teapots typically feature a taller profile rather than a wider one and utilize a very fine stainless-steel mesh infuser screen instead of a filter basket. One of the notable advantages of fukamushi teapots is their versatility; they can brew virtually any type of green tea, unlike teapots specifically crafted for light-steamed green teas like shiboridashi and houhin.

Teapot for Deep Steamed Green Tea
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 teatime, 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.
