Special Collaboration Ceramic Collection
At our shop in London, we proudly feature the Tokoname Kyusu, a traditional Japanese teapot known for its craftsmanship, heritage, and beauty. Originating from Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture—one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns—this teapot reflects over 1,000 years of ceramic artistry. Made from natural red clay (Shudei), its porous texture absorbs bitterness, enhancing the flavor of tea with every brew.
Why Choose Tokoname Kyusu?
The Tokoname Kyusu excels in brewing Japanese green tea but is versatile enough for coffee. Its fine mesh strainer, ergonomic design, and excellent heat retention provide a perfect brewing experience. Handcrafted designs range from modern minimalism to traditional intricacy, ensuring a style for everyone. Moreover, its sustainable, durable construction makes it a lasting kitchen treasure.
Brewing Coffee with Tokoname Kyusu
While designed for tea, the Kyusu’s ability to brew smooth, aromatic coffee has gained popularity. Simply preheat the pot, add medium-fine coffee grounds, pour hot water (85-90°C), and steep for 2-3 minutes. The result is a refined fusion of bold coffee flavors and Japanese tradition.
Experience Japanese Tradition
Whether for tea, coffee, or as a statement of fine craftsmanship, the Tokoname Kyusu is a connection to Japan’s rich heritage. Visit our London store to explore our collection and bring this timeless teapot into your daily life.
