With an elegant and sharp design, this tea set brings a modern touch to your tea ritual. The natural and black teapots are unglazed, exposing the warmth of the clay. Over time and use, they will develop a slight gloss, allowing you to enjoy various surfaces.

The unglazed interior of the teapot and the use of iron-rich clay also alleviate the astringency of green tea. The teapot also has a strainer to prevent the tea leaves from entering your cup.

Available in black and natural.

ABOUT THE ARTISAN

The teapots are handmade by a family-run business established four generations ago in Mie Prefecture. Entering the business as clay makers and sellers in 1913, the family has deep knowledge of the soil of the local area and how to develop it into clay that is most suitable for pottery. In 1972, they branched out into making teapots of their own.
