Kyusu Teapots
Traditional Japanese side-handled Kyusu teapots from everyday companions to rare collector items handcrafted at leading Tokoname, Banko and Kiyomizu Yaki studios. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes for various kinds of Japanese tea.
Black Tokoname Kyusu
Our favourite go-to teapot, the reduction-fired black Tokoname Kyusu helps to soften the astringency of green teas thanks to the high content of iron in the clay.
Red Tokoname Kyusu
The oxidation-fired Red Tokoname Kyusu has a fiery character that goes particularly well with Sencha, Shincha and Tamaryokucha green teas.
Colourful Tokoname Kyusu
Green, white and Yōhen ombré, these colourful Tokoname Kyusu can be used with all varieties of green tea.
Fukamushi Kyusu
These Kyusu with a fixed fine mesh stainless steel strainer at the spout are essential for brewing the powdery leaves of Fukamushi teas.
Tokoname-yaki Masterpieces
Exquisite Kyusu teapots from leading artisans in Tokoname: one of Japan's most important ceramic centres with a history that extends over 900 years. Tokoname teapots are made from unglazed, ferruginous clay that softens the astringency of green tea for a smoother & sweeter infusion.
Banko Kyusu
Reduction-fired, iron-rich purple Banko Kyusu from Yokkaichi helps to refine the taste of strong umami green teas such as Gyokuro, Kabusecha and Shincha. These Kyusu are also suitable for Fukamushi Sencha thanks to an integrated fine mesh stainless steel strainer.
