Kyusu

A Kyusu is a traditional Japanese teapot designed specifically for brewing green tea, typically made from clay. Its distinctive feature is a side handle, which provides an easy grip and precise pouring. The porous clay material often enhances the tea's flavor by absorbing and releasing subtle mineral qualities over time. Kyusu teapots are usually small, allowing for multiple, controlled infusions of fresh tea leaves. They are valued for their craftsmanship and ability to bring out the delicate aromas and nuances of high-quality Japanese green teas, making them a preferred choice for tea enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
