Japanese teapot Hohin

The Brown Hohin Teapot combines the sophistication of Japanese tea culture with the traditions of the ceramic art of the Tokoname region. This meticulously crafted, unglazed teapot is not only aesthetically stunning, but also highly functional.

Design and use of materials

The Tokoname region, one of Japan's six ancient kiln areas, is renowned for its high-quality clay and ceramics. The Brown Hohin teapot is crafted using the traditional techniques of this region, ensuring durability and heat retention. The unglazed surface gives a natural, rustic look, while allowing the porosity of the clay to allow the flavors of the tea to develop further.

Functionality and usage

Hohin teapots feature a handle-less design that allows for fine control of tea temperature and optimal steeping of tea leaves. This teapot is particularly recommended for preparing premium Japanese green teas such as sencha or gyokuro, but is also versatile enough to be used with other types of tea. The built-in ceramic filter ensures effective filtration of tea leaves, ensuring every cup of tea is pure and free of sediment.

Usage and maintenance tips

• Before first use : Rinse with hot water and let dry completely.
• Cleaning : Rinse with clean water after each use and leave to dry with the lid open. Do not use detergent or a dishwasher as these may damage the natural properties of the clay.
• During use : Due to the handle-less design, make sure to hold it firmly and use it carefully.

With its elegant appearance and excellent functionality, it can be a valuable addition to every tea lover's everyday tea drinking habits. Precise fit, quick pouring options.
