Sencha320 Kyusu/Tea Pot (Matte Black)

The Sencha320 Kyusu from NANKEI POTTERY (南景製陶園) is a linear, shallow-body teapot made in the Banko-yaki tradition of Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. The flat, wide form was designed to let tea leaves spread fully as they steep — important for green teas like sencha, where leaf surface contact with water matters. Flow is smooth, cleaning is straightforward, and the stable base makes pouring easy. At 320ml it brews one to four servings depending on cup size. Pour slowly — the flat body pours best when you give it time.

Matte Black is fired from iron-rich, non-absorbent clay — the deep charcoal exterior is fired without glaze, leaving the inside surface's fine texture to work directly against the tea, rounding astringency and building depth with every use. No odour transfer between sessions.
