Brown and Red Japanese Teapot

This Tokoname ware teapot has a deep gradient of brown and red colors. The red color is a natural color of shudei (red clay), which is a famous feature of Tokonome ware.

While retaining the natural atmosphere of clay, the polished and smooth texture, and the minimalistic form cultivated through a long tradition, it conveys an elegant atmosphere. The lids of Tokoname teapots are known for their tight fit and airtightness, which allows the tea to slowly draw out its flavor.

This ceramic Japanese teapot has a sasame/ceramesh strainer, which is recommended to fully enjoy the aroma of tea. It is made with elaborate molds and new ceramic technology. This type of tea strainer is known for less clogging of tea leaves and smoother tea pouring.

With its size and the ceramic strainer, this ceramic teapot is suitable for any tea.Sencha (middle-grade green tea) and kariganecha(high-grade stem tea) are especially recommended.
