Aprika Life Handcrafted Japanese Kyusu Teapot with Filters (310ml)
Experience authentic Japanese tea culture with this handcrafted kyusu from Aprika Life. Shaped by master potter Fujita Tokuta in Tokoname, Japan's legendary pottery region, this 310ml teapot combines traditional artistry with practical design for everyday brewing.
The standout feature is the Hi-Mesh (80 Mesh) filter system—a finely woven strainer engineered to handle everything from delicate sencha to deep-steamed teas and matcha. The tight weave captures fine particles while letting the full spectrum of color, aroma, flavor, and natural sweetness come through into your cup.
Built for real tea enjoyment, the unglazed interior develops character over time and preserves authentic tea flavors without interference. The ergonomic handle makes pouring smooth and controlled, while the 310ml capacity is perfect for 2–3 servings. Comes beautifully gift-boxed, making it equally suited for personal collection or as a meaningful present for tea lovers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What teas work best with the Aprika Life Handcrafted Japanese Kyusu Teapot with Filters?
The Hi-Mesh filter is versatile—use it with sencha, gyokuro, matcha, hojicha, genmaicha, and other Japanese teas. The fine weave also handles rooibos and herbal blends without sediment.
Does this kyusu require seasoning before first use?
No seasoning needed. Simply rinse with hot water before your first brew. Over time, the unglazed interior will absorb subtle tea oils, which many collectors consider part of the teapot's character.
Can I use this teapot on the stovetop?
This is a hand-brewing kyusu, not a stovetop kettle. Brew by pouring hot water directly into the pot and steeping your leaves.
