Yamaki ikai Japanese Kyusu tokoname Hand-made Clay Teapot 11.8 fl.oz. Tomisen Red L104

Q: Where is this product shipped from ?

I don’t know, but it is made in Japan

Q: Does the teapot add additional flavor or taste to the tea from the clay?

Tokoname kyusu is made from "paddy soil" dug out from the bottom of paddy fields. This clay contains a lot of iron oxide, and is called "red clay" because it develops a reddish color when it is fired. The vermilion color of Tokoname teapots is due to the red clay. Tokoname kyusu contains a large amount of iron oxide, which absorbs the astringent and bitter components of tea and makes it possible to brew tea with a mellow taste. On the other hand, it has excellent water resistance and does not absorb water. So it removes only the astringent and bitter taste and brings out the umami. Also, the lids of Tokoname kyusu are known for their tight fit and high airtightness. This is due to the careful process called "futa-surisuri" in the manufacturing process. The high airtightness of Tokoname kyusu allows the flavor of the tea to be slowly extracted.
