Kyusu Japanese Teapots

Traditional Japanese teapots are known for their unique side handle. A metal mesh screen inside the spout keeps the leaves out of your cup. The brown kyusu is a Banko pottery ware from Yokkaichi, near Nagoya. The red ware kyusu is from the famed pottery city of Tokoname, south of Nagoya.



Tetsubin Iron Teapots

Tetsubin Iron Teapots

Japanese cast iron teapots, or tetsubin teapots, evoke the ancient past. Cast iron teapots became popular in Japan in the 17th century when the practice of steeping tea leaves (instead of matcha tea powder) became popular.

The Pine Needle Tetsubine is made in Japan's famous Iwachu foundry and holds 22 oz of tea. A stainless basket infuser is included. The Three Friends Tetsubin refers to the Chinese artistic theme of the three friends of winter: the Plum, Bamboo, and Pine.
