A “Kyusu” is a traditional Japanese ceramic teapot specially designed to brew green tea. This teapot was created in collaboration with Yumiko Iihoshi and Nankei Ceramics, long time manufacturers of Banko-yaki teapot in Mie prefecture, with a traditional Japanese style in mind. This is a unique teapot with an stunningly clean form that cannot be found anywhere else. Several elements, such as the base, lid, handle and spout are fabricated separately on a wheel, then assembled. The lid is conceived by rubbing it to the base, it closes perfectly. It is handmade by artisans through many processes.

Kyu-su is baked without applying glaze, therefore it doesn’t keep the scent of teapots. Fine-grained clays offer an enjoyable aroma of a variety of teas. You can always brew delicious tea with this kyushu teapot elegantly adapted for the modern homes.

The S size can hold two small cups of tea. The L size can hold about 3 small cups of tea.
