Flat Japanese Teapot with Back Handle

$178.00

Azmaya

DETAILS

Handcrafted from traditional crow clay, this 300ml flat teapot features a wide, low profile that allows tea leaves to open up and infuse more evenly.

The lid is carefully ground for a tight seal to help retain aroma, while the built-in filter ensures a smooth, clean pour. The side handle is designed for a comfortable grip, making it easy to use from any angle.

Compared to porcelain, the unglazed clay holds heat well and gradually develops a natural patina over time, enhancing the flavour of your tea with every brew.

Designed by Osamu Saruyama.

INSTRUCTIONS

-First Use: Rinse thoroughly with warm water. We recommend brewing a pot of tea and discarding it to "prime" the unglazed clay. -Do not use dish soap.
