Red flat kyusu teapot

Flat Red Kyusu Teapot from the Gyokko Workshop

With a capacity of 170 ml, this flat, wide-bodied red kyusu from the Gyokko workshop represents one of the most beautiful and serene forms of Japanese tea preparation. Its low, calm proportions, finely crafted side handle, and natural red clay surface make it both elegant and highly functional.

The teapot's shape is particularly well-suited for Japanese green teas. In the flat, spacious body, the tea leaves can spread out comfortably, allowing the water to pass through them more evenly. This shape beautifully supports teas where subtle details, umami, fresh vegetal aromas, and a soft texture are paramount.

What teas do we recommend it for?

• Sencha
• Kabusecha
• Gyokuro
• Tamaryokucha
• Finer Japanese green teas

The low, wide design also works particularly well for lower temperature brewing, when the sweeter, more umami-rich side of Japanese green teas comes to the forefront. The teapot is not a showy piece: it is rather a precise, quiet, and balanced tool that beautifully serves the tea.

Who do we recommend it for?

For those who love the pure, detailed world of Japanese green teas and are looking for a finely crafted, classic Japanese kyusu for this purpose. The teapot from the Gyokko workshop is practical for both everyday sencha preparation and more special, slower tea sessions.
