At the heart of this daily ritual is the \u003ci\u003ekyusu\u003c\/i\u003e—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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCrafted in Tokoname (常滑焼)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis teapot is made in the tradition of \u003ci\u003eTokoname-yaki\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Distinct Designs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack (Mt.
