This intermediate shape between round and extremely flat makes it great for brewing both high-grade senchas and gyokuros, but also for all-round purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flatter shape and small size promote even contact between the leaves and the water, aiding the extraction of umami from high-grade sencha and gyokuro. It boasts a wide top opening so you can watch the leaves unfurl as they steep and clean them out more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe teapot's built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea. Please note: A flat kyusu requires very gentle and slow pours to avoid leaks around the lid. It takes a bit of practice to get familiar with compared to the larger, rounder kyusu with a more elevated spout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was made by the highly-respected Gyokko (玉光) Kiln, manned by the master potters of the Umehara family. \u003cspan class=\"card-widget__header-text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"card-widget__header-text__title  text-size--large\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gyokko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548250038316,"sku":"US-K222","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/download_db8cca2e-d7d7-4dca-af84-2bd8b6281571.jpg?v=1779027629","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/yakishime-flat-tokoname-teapot-200ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
