Kyusu Sakura
🌸 Traditional Japanese Handicrafts: Each teapot is handcrafted in Japan and artfully hand-printed with delicate cherry blossoms.
🏺 Renowned Tokoname Pottery: Made in Tokoname, a region that has been famous worldwide for over 1,000 years for the exceptional quality of its natural clay.
🍃 Removable stainless steel fine strainer: The very fine-mesh tea strainer ensures the perfect brewing of all types of green tea—from Sencha to Gyokuro.
🤏 Especially light & easy to handle: Weighing just about 260 g, the kyusu fits perfectly in your hand and makes pouring a breeze.
This traditional kyusu is handcrafted in Japan with the utmost dedication—making each teapot a truly one-of-a-kind piece for your tea moments. You’ll notice this as soon as you place the lid on: its contact surface is precision-ground to fit perfectly. This ensures a tight seal and keeps the precious heat exactly where it belongs—with your tea leaves. Thanks to a subtle recess along the rim of the lid, the fine stainless-steel strainer can remain inside the teapot while your tea slowly unfolds its full aroma. Since the strainer is removable, you have full control over the steeping time: as soon as your green tea reaches the perfect intensity, simply remove the strainer along with the tea leaves. This prevents the tea from over-steeping in the pot and becoming bitter. With this teapot, you’re not just getting a practical accessory—you’re bringing the centuries-old Japanese tradition of ceramic art right into your home.

Harumidori means “spring green” and is the name of the tea plant variety (cultivar) used for this top-grade Sencha green tea. Very high umami, intense sweetness, and a soft, mellow character are actually typical of shaded Gyokuro, yet the distinctive aroma of this Harumidori Sencha does not result from shading. The extremely rare cultivar, hand-picked by tea farmer Nobuyuki San, and a light aging process create the Gyokuro-like flavor along with a slightly sweet fruitiness. For anyone who loves the high umami and sweetness of Gyokuro but doesn’t want to sacrifice the freshness and fruitiness typical of Sencha, this tea is just right. Sencha Harumidori is a hand-picked Sencha green tea specialty with an incomparable character, aroma, and flavor.
