This minimalist and contemporary take on a traditional Japanese teapot, kyusu, is designed by artist Yumiko Iihoshi. It is traditionally handmade by Banko ware ceramics' artisans in the city of Yokkaichi, which has been a hub for fine crafted earthenware teapots for 300 years.

Made with fine-grained clays and baked without glaze, it doesn't absorb the smell of tea. This makes it a great choice to fully enjoy a variety of individual flavours, without any residual competing notes.

Handcrafted in Japan
