Red Shudei Mogake Tokoname Teapot
To create its one-of-a-kind design, seaweed was wrapped around the vessel before firing, leaving behind delicate, organic patterns across its rich red clay surface. The integrated sasame filter ensures a smooth, graceful pour, while the unglazed clay offers balanced heat retention and a subtly porous texture suited to refined tea preparation.
To maintain purity of flavor, we recommend reserving this kyusu for a single green, white or oolong tea.
