This hand thrown kyusu was made in Tokoname, Aichi prefecture by Gyokko, from Gyokou Toen. The makers mark is stamped below the handle.
The large diameter of the pot allows water to evenly penetrate the tea leaves and gives lots of room for the flavour to be extracted, making it ideal for use with higher grade teas such as gyokuro. The ceramesh filter easily strains the tea leaves, allowing the pot to be completely emptied of tea.
This kyusu is made from iron-rich clay, which Tokoname is famous for. The high iron content of the clay reacts with tannins in the tea, removing bitterness, allowing the sweet and umami flavours to shine. As it is unglazed, with continuous use this kyusu will become more lustrous, and make even more delicious tea with continued use.
This kyusu holds 230ml, perfect for tea for up to two.
How to care for your kyusu:
- After use throw out the tea leaves and thoroughly rinse the pot under running water.
- Do not use soap
- You can gently rub the strainer with a soft brush or cloth to dislodge any stuck tea leaves, however be careful not to apply to much pressure as the strainer may crack or come off.
- Make sure it is completely dry before storing it.
