Premium Gyokko Smoky Black Japanese Cast Iron Teapot - Authentic Tetsubin for Loose Leaf Tea Brewing - Perfect for Home, Office & Tea Ceremonies

Product Description

This is a Tokonome ware teapot with a smoky black color.

This teapot has a wide base, which allows the tea leaves to spread out easily and draws out the rich flavor of the tea.

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.

It 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 smooth tea pouring.

With its size and the ceramic strainer, this teapot is especially suitable for gyokuro (refined green tea).
