Practical advice:
Rinse with hot, clean water before use. Do not use any detergent to clean it. The Tokoname teapots will shine with use as you use them more and more. It's a good idea to wipe dry after rinsing to prevent water droplets from showing on the outside.
Never leave tea in the pot. Always clean it after brewing and leave the inside to dry without putting the lid on.
Unglazed ceramic utensils, dedicated to one type of tea. For Japanese green teas, we recommend this pot primarily, but they are also a perfect match for Chinese red teas.
