Japanese Teapot Kyusu/tokoname Kiln/potter: Morimasa 1

This is my daily drinker so functionally trumps beauty but I think this sets a great balance. There is something about the shape of this kyusu that I love and the patterning along with the small red around opening is decorative enough with being flashy. The filter is fine enough that you will not need a secondary strainer. Due to the wide opening on top, the leaves can easily spread out and is extremely easy to rinse out. Also since It is easy to pour with a single hand and spout is large enough for quick pours so you can steep multiple times in quick succession. I only mention this because I had a teapot once that seemed to take a minute to pour out so it would be oversteep by the time you finished pouring.For sizing approximation when I brew with 5 grams of tea this pot will make around 250ml/8.4oz. (loss due to leaves displacement) Regardless its a good size for me since I'm used to standard cans of soda so making 100ml cups of tea just would not cut it....I might be biased since I'm buying a second so I can have one at work but I hope this helps.

Lightweight and easy to clean!

Excellent quality, the mesh works great for Fukushima Cha very fine tea as for Sencha and Gyokuro. It arrived on time and very well wrapped.
