Handmade in Tokoname, Japan by Gyokko Umehara

Built in ceramic infuser.

this teapot has a beautiful rugged surface texture which resembles the rough bark of a pine tree. The orange and black colouring, known as yohen, comes from partially burying the teapot in rice husks when it is fired in the kiln.

These beautiful teapots are all made in Japan and are typically used for green tea. The smaller size of the pot allows you to pour out the entire infusion so that tea leaves can be easily re-infused numerous times. The side handle makes pouring easy and is also great for people with arthritis. Each pot contains an infuser to keep the leaves out of your cup! These are a great way to make your own tea ritual more personal.
