Japanese Teapots and Tea Sets
Made for Japanese Green Tea
Japanese green teas like sencha are brewed with water around 70 to 80 degrees and steeped briefly, so a teapot that pours quickly and cleanly matters. The classic Japanese teapot is the kyusu, traditionally with a side handle that lets you pour with a twist of the wrist.
Hand-Painted Kutani Teapots
Our teapots are Kutani ware from Ishikawa Prefecture, hand-decorated in rich colours. Choose the Sparrow Tea Pot, the Bird Tea Pot, the Jumping Rabbit Moon Teapot or the Kacho Fugetsu Teapot, named for the Japanese phrase meaning flower, bird, wind and moon.
Japanese Tea Sets
A matching teapot and cups makes an ideal gift. The Kutsurogi Flower & Bird Tea Set brings a graceful design to the whole set, and cat lovers will adore Atelier Yu's Cats in a Sunny Spot Teapot.
