Bankoware japanese tea pot

Hand-thrown by celebrated Japanese artisan Otsuki Toshi in Mie Prefecture, this authentic Banko-yaki kyusu is a masterclass in traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Otsuki oversees every step, from sourcing the iron-rich brown clay to the final delicate refinement. The teapot features a built-in clay strainer, ensuring a smooth pour for even the finest loose-leaf teas. This unglazed, mineral-dense material is prized for its unique ability to soften water and naturally enhance the aroma and flavor of your brew. With a 80ml capacity, it is the perfect size for intimate, high-quality tea sessions.
