This has quickly become my favorite kyusu to use, not just for Japanese teas but for my pu'erhs as well. When it comes to teapots, this one is fairly large & in charge; it holds 9floz, or 270ml. The red clay used is rich in iron making for a teapot similar to cast iron. The pores on the inside of the teapot absorb the bitter taste of catechins from green teas; if you enjoy pu'erhs & oolongs, the clay will absorb some of that flavor as well.

The design on the outside of the teapot is beautiful & calls to tranquility while drinking your tea. Cherry blossom flowers & petals blowing in the wind adorn the backside of the kyusu, while the background color is pink behind the design, it gradually ombres out into a tan that ombres into a brown around the handle & spout. However, what's inside the kyusu is what makes this bad boy really shine! The inside is lined with a stainless-steel mesh that acts as a filter. Perfect for Japanese green teas, which are typically ground to a powder or are very fine in their leaf consistency.
