Teapot Tokoname | Black

The Yokode-style Tokoname teapot, handmade by master potter Tatsuo Umehara, is oxidised during the final firing process to transform the iron compounds in the clay into a durable, glossy black colour. With its flat profile and elegant proportions, this unassuming piece of earthenware exudes a powerful, calm energy that supports your daily tea ritual.

Oji Masanori collaborates with the tea experts at Susumuya and Japan's finest artisans to create "tea tools for enjoying delicious Japanese tea in everyday life". These simple yet timeless shapes create tools for everyday use that can last forever.

The thermodynamic properties of Tokoname's iron-rich clay are ideal for Japanese green teas, but also pair well with white teas.

A baked-on ceramic strainer makes infusing easy, and a hollow handle reduces heat transfer and ensures safe handling when pouring.

Each teapot comes in a beautiful cardboard box.
