A Quiet Ritual, Perfected Over Centuries

Long before tea became an everyday staple around the world, loose-leaf brewing evolved from ancient Chinese tea traditions into Japan’s own distinct culture of mindful preparation. At the heart of this daily ritual is the kyusu—a compact, side-handled teapot designed for precision pouring and intimate servings. Rather than brewing gallons at a time, a kyusu encourages you to slow down, steep smaller batches at the right temperature, and appreciate the full aroma and color of your tea leaves.

Crafted in Tokoname (常滑焼)

This teapot is made in the tradition of Tokoname-yaki, one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns with a pottery history stretching back nearly a thousand years. Known for its iron-rich clay, Tokoname ware is prized by tea drinkers because the natural minerals in the clay gently mellow out the astringency of green and loose-leaf teas, leaving a smoother, sweeter finish. Each lid and body are fired together to ensure a snug, heat-retaining seal, while the built-in ultra-fine stainless steel mesh catches even the smallest tea particles for a clean pour.

Two Distinct Designs

Black (Mt. Fuji & Cherry Blossom)

  • Deep matte-black clay accented with hand-painted pink and white sakura blossoms and a subtle silhouette of Mount Fuji. Holds 330ml—ideal for sharing two cups or enjoying a generous solo session.

Matcha Green (White Blossom)

  • A soft, earthy sage green reminiscent of the vibrant matcha tones beloved in Japanese tea culture, finished with delicate white plum/cherry blossoms. Holds 210ml—a classic single-serve size designed for concentrated, flavorful steeps.

Thoughtful Everyday Details

  • Ergonomic Side Handle: The hollow, angled handle stays cool to the touch and allows for effortless, wrist-friendly pouring.
  • Wide Opening: Makes it easy to watch the tea leaves unfurl as they steep, and simple to scoop out and rinse clean afterward.
