Hand Made
Amazing Japanese Teapot
Many things are associated with Japan. Anime, Sushi, and the Kyusu teapots. Kyusu teapots are hand-made and the only real ones are made in Japan. Originally an orange-red color that was derived from the clay in Tokoname, Japan they are now found in many different colors and have varied designs. Kyusu actually means teapot in Japanese, any teapot. If you go to the store and ask for Kyusu teapot you will get a rounded teapot that has a side handle which is open and cylindrical in shape. A small mesh screen inside the teapot keeps the loose tea leaves inside from getting into your teacup.
What sizes do Kyusu teapots come in?
The Kyusu teapot comes in various sizes. You can find them in small individual teapots, enough for a single cup of tea. Or, if you are so inclined they are available in a size large enough to serve over 12 cups of tea. All of these have beautiful coloring and design. You can use them for service or sit them on a shelf for an exotic addition to your décor.
Green tea’s best friend
Green tea is very particular about what type of pot it likes to be brewed in. A cast iron teapot would ruin a good pot of green tea. Metal and green do not mix. The green tea will pull the flavor of the metal from the cast iron teapot and ruin the flavor. The Kyusu teapot is perfect for green tea steeping because it is made from ceramics. The perfect cup of tea requires the perfect conditions for the flavor to come out.
Six Old Kilns
Located in the Aichi prefecture of Japan, Tokoname is the birth place of the Kyusu teapot. The original color of the Kyusu teapot is orange-red in color. This comes from the clay that is found in Tokoname. Tokoname is also known as one of the “Six Old Kilns of Japan”. There are not actually “six” kilns. What this refers to is the city itself. Considered the major centers of stoneware production, they were given this moniker.
A unique design
A Kyusu teapot has a very different handle. Placed either at the back or on the side of the teapot it is positioned so that the tea can be poured from the Kyusu teapot with a simple turning of the wrist. A mesh screen is sometimes put into the teapot to filter out tea leaves when pouring. Although, Kyusu means teapot in Japanese this particular teapot is very easy to spot because of its unique design.
Washing has never been so easy
Relatively easy to care for the Kyusu teapot is a great addition to your tea drinking paraphernalia. Simply rinse the Kyusu teapot with clear water. No soap or special detergents to clean or maintain a Kyusu teapot. Once the teapot is washed you are ready to use it again. What could be easier?
Kyusu teapots are available at specialty shops and online. No longer strictly orange-red in color they come in many different colors and designs. Affordable and requiring very low maintenance how could you not want one?

The Very Best of Spinners $6.25 Although their first album appeared in the early ’60s, it was with 1975′s “They Just Can’t Stop It (Games People Play)” that the Spinners really got moving. They emerged as one of the poppiest of the ’70s soul bands, which cost them dearly in credibility. But their best songs were stunning–and by the time original vocalist Philippe Wynne left the group, in 1977, they’d racked up enough successes … |
