Artisanal & Aesthetic Features:
  • Traditional Hakeme Finish: Each pot features a unique white slip brush stroke, providing a beautiful contrast to the deep, earthy tones of the unglazed clay.
  • Flavor Enhancement: The porous Banko clay interacts with tea tannins to reduce astringency, particularly beneficial for high-quality Japanese Sencha.
  • Sakura Mesh Filter: A built-in stainless steel filter designed to allow for maximum water flow while catching even the smallest leaf fragments.
  • Ergonomic Side Handle: Perfectly balanced for one-handed pouring, allowing you to control the flow with precision and ease.
🧼 Maintenance & Care:

Dishwasher: NO | Microwave: NO | Open Flame: NO
To preserve the unglazed clay: Rinse only with hot water. Avoid detergents or soaps, as they can linger in the porous surface and affect future brews. Allow the teapot to dry completely with the lid off to prevent moisture buildup. Do not use over an open flame or direct heat source.
