Collection: Kyusu (Teapots)

Kyusu (急須) are traditional Japanese teapots, most often crafted from fine clay—particularly the rich volcanic clay of regions like Tokoname, renowned for its quality. While the word kyusu simply means “teapot,” it has come to commonly refer to the side-handled style that makes brewing Japanese green tea both graceful and practical.

The porous clay of many kyusu absorbs subtle flavors over time, enhancing the character of each brew. Their thoughtful design allows for precise pouring, while their wide interiors give tea leaves room to unfurl fully, releasing balanced flavors and aromas.

From everyday tea drinking to refined tea preparation, the kyusu remains an essential vessel that reflects both utility and the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship.
