About this craft
Tokoname ware is a 1,200-year pottery tradition from Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Unglazed red clay naturally absorbs tea oils and tannins, progressively seasoning the teapot—a cherished principle in Japanese tea craft. Tokoname pieces are prized by enthusiasts worldwide for this conditioning property.
Description
Tokoname red clay kyusu with removable strainer, seasons with every brew
Hand-wash immediately after each use. Rinse strainer and interior thoroughly to prevent leaf debris. Air-dry upright. Do not use dishwasher or soak; absorbent clay will absorb detergent and stain. Over time, interior patina enhances flavor—this is normal and desirable.
