360° Filter Obi-Ami Kyusu Black - Jugusa

There is a discipline to this teapot that reveals itself slowly. The Obi-Ami Kyusu Jugusa is handcrafted in Tokoname, Japan.

Using kokudei, Tokoname's deep black clay, born from the same iron-rich earth as the celebrated red shudei but fired in low-oxygen conditions that transform it into a surface of austere, velvety depth.

Across its wide, flat form, hand-painted vertical brush strokes in white, sage green and dusty rose break the black with a quiet, considered artistry. Inside, the Obi-Ami filter, a fine 360° stainless steel mesh that lines the entire inner circumference, ensures a consistently clean, clog-free pour regardless of leaf size or style.

At 370ml, this is a teapot equally suited to a generous solo session or an unhurried shared brew.

Handpicked by AICHA directly from master artisans in Tokoname.
