LoiJul 10, 2018, 06:42Love this tea pot! Using it daily to brew my sencha tea at work. Its a very high quality tea pot. Just be careful when cleaning and don't drop it.

Margot WallaceSep 5, 2017, 07:01I am new to the "real" world of tea. Kevin directed me to this perfect pot for my new Japanese green tea and I have fallen in love! I use it for everything with total satisfaction.
I must confess, I barely tapped it against my sink and it broke so I am on pot #2! Of course the service from O-cha is first class! -
Grant GliddenAug 4, 2017, 09:42Great teapot. My previous one (a different model) broke as I was emptying it of leaves the other day, and I am very happy with this as a replacement. Large volume, easy to clean, and makes the best fukamushi I've tasted.

Sandra Van Der PlaatsJul 2, 2017, 15:01I was hesitant at first, since I am only familiar with Western-style teapots, and didn't know what to think of the different pour/handle.
It's been in use for 2 days now, and I am amazed at how easy it is to use, and how perfect for my fukamushi tea. The teastrainer will keep the very small leaves inside, and it pours perfectly, no dripping.
What a treasure! I am chuffed to bits.! -
Jim HargraveMay 16, 2017, 05:14Perfect size for one large cup and will work with all types of tea - I now use this teapot for everything.

Brian ThompsonMar 27, 2017, 07:17I've been brewing in a small french press, and kept justifying not getting a kyusu by purchasing more tea with the money set aside for one. I wish I would have purchased this sooner since it has made my tea noticeably better. I'm drawn to the purist aspects of a kyusu with a ceramic filter, but this one is better designed than the ones I've seen, and, as a bonus, is inexpensive. Both the unglazed interior and sloped bottom help with residual water and keep the leaves drier for better subsequent infusions. I was going to use this as a starter kyusu, and get a nicer one with a ceramic filter later, but I don't really see the need for a "nicer" one now. Form follows function with this kyusu.

Shawn PruntyMar 6, 2017, 23:20I have been looking to replace my clay teapot for about a year. Reading about various pots from O-cha and debating the differences to suit my needs. Finally settled on the purchase of this Fukamushi teapot. Had to adjust my brewing method slightly but in a few weeks I am enjoying tea is a new way that makes the flavor even more pleasurable. It's the perfect pot for my style of living. Highly recommend this pot for sencha lovers

Taylor WhiteFeb 9, 2017, 13:30I got this teapot because I wanted a teapot that was suitable for my favorite type of tea - fukamushicha - but I did not want to spend 75$ just for this purpose. I like this teapot a lot. I am no expert, and cannot speak to many technical details which I am sure impact the tea. But it seems to work very well for my purposes.
