450ml Handcrafted Ceramic Kyusu Teapot | Built-in Filter Side Handle

What is a Kyusu Teapot?

Originating from traditional East Asian tea culture, the kyusu is a beloved side-handle teapot designed specifically for loose leaf tea brewing. Its ergonomic side handle keeps your hand away from hot壶身, making pouring safe and comfortable — a design that has been cherished by tea lovers for centuries.

Our Handcrafted Ceramic Kyusu Teapot

This 450ml (15.2oz) kyusu teapot is handcrafted from premium kaolin clay in Jingdezhen, China — the “Porcelain Capital” of the world with over 1,000 years of ceramic-making history. Jingdezhen porcelain is world-famous for its smooth finish, durability, and ability to preserve the pure flavor of tea, making it the ideal material for high-quality tea ware.

Key Features of This Kyusu Teapot

• Built-in Fine Mesh Filter: Dense integrated filter holes at the spout trap even small loose tea leaves, so you get perfectly smooth tea every time without needing an extra tea steeper.
• Ergonomic Side Handle Design: The side handle keeps your hand far from the hot body of the teapot for safe, steady, comfortable pouring every time.
• Premium Lead-Free Ceramic: Food-safe, non-porous ceramic won’t absorb tea flavors or odors, preserving the authentic taste of every brew. It’s also microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe for easy everyday use.
• Perfect Mid-Size Capacity: 450ml (15.2oz) fits 2-3 small teacups, ideal for solo daily sipping or small gatherings with friends.
• Unique Handmade Texture: Each teapot features a natural wood-grain inspired rustic finish, and every piece is one-of-a-kind — no two are exactly alike, adding authentic artisanal charm to your tea collection.
