Kyusu Teapots – Japanese Ceramics
Few things are more beautiful than a handmade item. Whether it is an afghan, a quilt, or the timelessness of well crafted pottery the individual effort exhibited by something that was made personally as opposed to mass produced is undeniable. The Kyusu teapot is one such object. Handcrafted in Japan, each Kyusu teapot has its own unique personality. The pride and ownership that the Japanese put into just about every product that they produce is wrapped up in each of these teapots. Often, sporting hand painted leaves, flowers, or even the mixture of Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana (Japanese script), the Kyusu teapot with its unique design is in a class of its own.
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.
Exclusively designed
The Kyusu teapot was designed especially to brew green tea in. Green tea, when brewed in a metal teapot will pick up the flavor of the metal elements. This will destroy the subtle nuances that green tea has. The ceramic that the Kyusu teapot is made from allows the green tea to develop flavor as it was meant to without leaching any taste from the teapot while steeping.
Six Old Kilns
The Kyusu teapot is originally from the one of the “Six Old Kilns of Japan”. This is not exactly what it sounds like. The city was designated along with five other cities. They are Shigaraki, Bizen, Tanba, Echizen, and Soto. The reason they are called this is because they produce large amounts of ceramic products, having hundreds of kilns working to create Kyusu teapots along with other unique and beautiful stoneware.
Using a Kyusu teapot
The Kyusu teapot is different in that it does not require an infuser to be used with the teapot. An infuser traps the loose tea in a cage like environment, and keeps the tea leaves from drifting into your cup of tea. Few societies have deemed drinking tea and spitting out the leaves as good etiquette. The Kyusu teapot is designed with a fine mesh strainer in the spout so that the tea leaves are trapped in the teapot itself, instead of flowing up to and through the spout. The tea is poured out through a simple twist of the wrist. This proper pouring technique also keeps the tea leaves from floating up and out of the spout.
Washing has never been so easy
The Kyusu teapot does not stop at having a unique design for making it a very special teapot to have, indeed. It does not have to be “washed”. There is no need to fill the sink with soap and water with this teapot. A clean sponge and warm water is all you need to clean the Kyusu teapot. Once you are done washing out all the green tea you had in it, (you can make black or red tea in it, as well.) Simply place your Kyusu teapot in the drain rack or on a dry towel and leave it.
A Kyusu teapot is a great gift idea. Be careful when shopping for and buying a Kyusu teapot. You may find yourself inadvertently addicted to the collecting of these uniquely hand-crafted ceramic pieces. You can buy a Kyusu teapot individually or you can purchase a full set, along with special cups to drink your green tea from. Look online for the best deals, but if you are in a hurry your local mall will more that likely have a specialty store that carries one or two Kyusu teapots as part of their regular inventory.
