A masterpiece of Japanese tea culture: the handmade kyusu
This exquisite Japanese kyusu, a side-handled pot in an elegant dark gray-brown, is more than just a vessel for your tea - it is a symbol of the rich tradition of Japanese tea ceramics. The handcrafted pot is characterized by an integrated clay strainer, which provides an authentic and incomparable tea experience. With its absolutely sophisticated form and functionality, this kyusu will transform your tea ritual.
Optimal for Gyokuro and other top teas
We particularly recommend this kyusu for brewing Gyokuro, one of Japan's most exquisite green teas. Their capacity of around 200 ml allows the tea to be enjoyed in small, multiple infusions - just as Japanese tradition dictates.
Design and dimensions
With a height and diameter of around 7.5 cm and a total width including the side handle of approx. 12.5 cm, this kyusu is both compact and functional. The filling quantity refers to a jug filled to the brim without tea leaves, which offers space for the ultimate aroma experience.
The art of Kyusu making
These kyusu are made in the most renowned potteries in Japan, primarily in Tokoname Yaki and Banko Yaki. These regions are known for their red, mineral-rich clay, which, together with the masterful craftsmanship, gives each piece its unique quality.
The art of pottery begins with individual components, which are then brought together to form a harmonious whole. Only a few workshops still adhere to these traditional methods today, making each kyusu a valuable collector's item.
A timeless heirloom
For over 300 years, the kyusu has not only been a practical tool, but also a treasured heirloom in Japanese households. With its side handle and integrated clay or stainless steel strainer, it allows tea to be poured with precision and style. The generous interior design allows the tea leaves to unfold freely and reveal their full aroma, making every cup a unique treat.
