About Tokoname ware

Tokoname town dates back to the 12th century and is located in northern Japan (Aichi). It is famous throughout Japan for its clay quality and its kilns make some of the best kyusu (tea pots) for green tea.


Tokoname teapots are characterized by the fact that the iron contained in the clay reacts with the tannins in the tea to remove the bitterness and astringency, and creates a mellow taste. Unglazed, the smooth teapots absorb excess ingredients and makes the tea taste better.
