Kyusu striped, 270ml, stainless steel filter

Works of art in Japanese tea culture: Kyusu

Our exquisite Japanese Kyusu in warm red-brown, decorated with a subtle wide stripe pattern, is a prime example of the consummate craftsmanship from Japan. The side handle jug, equipped with an integrated stainless steel strainer, is a testament to functionality and aesthetic sophistication.

With a capacity of approx. 270 ml, this kyusu is ideal for brewing green tea, allowing the tea leaves to float freely and develop their full aroma. The filling quantity refers to a kyusu filled to the brim with water without tea leaves.

Tradition and craftsmanship

For over 300 years, one-handed teapots like this one have been found in Japanese households and are an integral part of traditional tea ceremonies. Time and use give the kyusu an unmistakable aroma and make it a treasured family heirloom.

Today, only a few potteries have mastered the art of making kyusu. Each kyusu is traditionally made on a potter's wheel, with each individual element being created separately and joined together in a later process.

The regions of Tokoname Yaki in Aichi Prefecture and Banko Yaki in Mie Prefecture are particularly well-known, with their red, mineral-rich clay being the reason for the quality and reputation of their products.

Ergonomics and enjoyment

The handle on the side of the Kyusu makes pouring stylish and precise. The integrated clay or stainless steel strainer allows the tea to be poured directly into cups without the need for additional utensils. This form of preparation is appreciated by connoisseurs of green tea and enhances the taste experience with every infusion.

Be inspired by the tradition and craftsmanship of Japanese Kyusu and experience the unique pleasure in its purest form.
