Unglazed flat Tokoname teapot from Maekawa Junzō
Maekawa Junzō's artwork.
A precise and elegant fast-pouring teapot, ideal for both everyday Japanese tea sessions and premium quality teas. The "Hira" shape provides the tea leaves with larger space to open, thus they graze each other less, releasing less catechin, and revealing the tea's true sweetness and gentle elegance.

Initiation:
Before first use, rinse it with hot water, then let it dry completely!
Usage:
Avoid placing it on hot surfaces, like stove, and never use in microwave or oven.
Cleaning:
Tea stain is the natural part of a teapot's "maturing process", but if you prefer to avoid it, rinse the teapot well after every use, do not let the tea leaves sit in it for too long. It is better to avoid dishwashing liquid, but you can use gentle, organic soap to clean your pot. Never use bleach!
Avoid using dishwasher or dryer!
To clean the built-in strainer, run water backwards from the spout, or use a toothbrush or toothpick.
Storage:
After use, always let it dry completely, for if stored away while still wet, it might develop an unpleasant smell or mold.
Non-glazed ceramic tea pots absorb scents and flavours, so only prepare one kind of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).
