Flat Japanese Teapot with Back Handle
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.
-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. The porous clay will absorb detergents and ruin the natural flavour of your tea. -Hand wash only. Always allow the teapot to air dry completely with the lid off. Not suitable for dishwashers or microwaves.
