Kyusu ‘Kurokusube’ Large – Nankei Ceramics

This ‘Kurokusube’ Kyusu teapot is a signature design of Yokkaichi based ceramic studio Nankei.

It is made from 100% clay (apart from the mesh strainer) which is high in iron content. Iron is considered to enhance and mellow the flavour of Japanese Green Tea.

The teapot is made of 4 parts which are crafted separately by specialist artisans. They come together to produce a perfectly balanced teapot made with exacting skill.

The fine mesh filter in the base of the teapot is a unique design ideal for Japanese green tea, as the leaves are often small. Additionally, as it’s raised slightly from the base, it stops tea from over-infusing and prevents extra cups, and/or steeps from becoming bitter.

The modern, yet classic design of this Kyusu makes it suitable for any interior or taste.

Capacity: 320ml (good for 1-3 cups of tea)

Size (Approx): Width (inc. handle) 165mm / Height 97mm / Diameter 95mm
