Zero Japan Ceramic Kyusu Teapot 230ml
This teapot is a masterclass in modern Japanese functionalism. Produced by the cult brand Zero Japan in the Mino pottery region (Gifu Prefecture), the "Kyusu Mini" translates the traditional side-handle design into a sleek, contemporary form.
This tea pot specifically designed for intimate tea sessions. With a capacity of 230ml, it is the ideal size for brewing premium Sencha or Gyokuro for one person. The pot is made from high-fired stoneware, which is harder and denser than standard porcelain. This non-porous surface ensures that no flavors are absorbed, making it a versatile tool for switching between different tea varieties without any crossover of flavors.
Every detail serves a purpose: The spout is engineered for a drip-free pour, and the stainless steel lid clips securely onto the pot so it won't fall off when tilting—a signature Zero Japan innovation. The handle fits perfectly in the hand, allowing for precise control with a simple flick of the wrist.
