Because every day is hectic
I want to brew delicious tea slowly and carefully using good tools. A quiet yet elegant presence, similar to what you would see at a tea shop. It's such a teapot. 
The clay surface, which is made by baking clay called udei, becomes more glossy and flavorful the more you use it, and the teapot retains the aroma of tea, allowing you to brew delicious tea. Become. It is said that the last drop of tea is delicious. In order to pour out every last drop, the lid is adjusted to close perfectly using a technique called ``Futasuri'' to prevent tea from leaking from the lid when tilted. The hot water draining spout is also perfect. 
The tea strainer part has a unique structure that prevents it from clogging while straining the tea leaves firmly. Pour lightly into a tea bowl to make about three cups. The large opening makes it easy to put in and take out tea leaves, and it's also easy to clean the tea leaves.
To brew delicious tea
In order to brew even more delicious tea, we recommend ``Yuzamashi''. Instead of pouring boiling water directly into the teapot, first put it into the Chakai to lower the temperature, and then pour the hot water from the Chakai into the teapot. Also, do not pour tea from a teapot directly into the teacup. Chakai By transferring it to the teacup and then pouring it into the teacup, you can brew it evenly. The process of making delicious tea is exciting.
