Origin: Tokoname, Japan Kiln: GYOKKO About Warm earth tones and a low, open shape bring a quiet simplicity to the tea table. Fine lines circle the body, adding subtle texture to its smooth finish. Design & Function - The wide, shallow body gives tea leaves room to open, making it especially suited to gyokuro and fine sencha. - A generous lid opening makes it easy to watch the leaves unfold and remove them after brewing. - The traditional side handle supports a measured, gentle pour. Material Yakishime (焼きしめ): Unglazed, high-fired clay that showcases the natural texture and character of the earth. Size Dimensions: 5.71" (L) x 4.72" (W) x 2.76" (H) Capacity: 160ml Use For brewing loose-leaf Japanese green tea, particularly gyokuro and sencha. Pour slowly and drain fully between infusions, allowing each steep to reveal a different expression of the leaves. Care Rinse gently with warm water after use.
