Handling precautions
Initiation:
Before first use, rinse it in hot water then let it dry completely!
Usage:
Avoid placing in a place with high temperatures, such as a microwave, oven, or stove.
Cleaning:
Tokoname teapots become glossy as you use them. Oil impurities may become mixed in, but if you wash it the glossiness will remain.
Wash with dishwashing detergent should the surface become blackish. Its beautiful gloss will remain.
Do not use dishwasher or dryer!
To clean built in strainer, run water backwards from the spout, or use a toothbrush or toothpick.
In case of discoloration, do not use any kind of bleach!
Storage:
After use, always let it dry completely, for if stored while still wet, it might develop a damp smell or mold.
Non-glazed ceramic tea pots absorb whatever we put in them, so always only prepare one kind of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).
"Large" teapot is perfect for brewing two cups of tea. Beautiful to look at and performs exactly as you would want it to. Built in filer works great but please note it will let some very small particles through, not that it matters though. Highly recommended as long as you realize this will be for 2 cups of tea at a time. I then steeped another two cups using the same leaves and it was also excellent!

I have very many kyusu, but I know that this one will soon be one of my favourites since its nice and lightweight, and with a nice practical volume for serving me and my husband some japanese greens.

This teapot was gifted to me as a birthday gift. I could not be happier with it. The order took a mere 6 days to arrive from Japan to Canada. The teapot itself is a work of art. The elegant red clay catches the light and makes brewing tea a mesmerizing sight. The integrated mesh grid retains the tea, yet still offers a consistant pour. The pot brews enough for 2 cups (60mL each). Put the loose tea and water to the pot, admire it for 30s and pour in cups to enjoy! Take the time to smell and admire the gold hued beverage in your cup and appreciate the moment and the company.

One of the finest pieces of pottery I own! It pours tea smoothly without any leaking, and the clay mesh is fine enough to prevent larger leaves from entering your cup. I'm using it just for myself, and the size is perfect for the amount of tea I will typically enjoy in one sitting. It is, however, very delicate, so be gentle with it while cleaning. I've been using an old soft toothbrush to clean out any smaller bits of tea that get stuck in the mesh.
