[ Dishwasher Safe Teapot ] Arita Ware Teapot with Non-Clogging Tea Strainer, Unsui Kyusu, Kitsusako,

This is an Arita-ware kyusu (Japanese teapot). Includes a fine-mesh tea strainer.

🍵[ Why can I use detergent? ] Tokoname-ware and Banko-ware have countless tiny pores on their surface that absorb detergent, which can spoil the flavor of your tea. On the other hand, the Unsui Kyusu is made of porcelain, so it has no such pores and will not absorb detergent. 🍵[ Can I use a dishwasher? ] Yes, you can. However, with a dishwasher, water may enter and collect through the small hole at the base of the handle. Since it is difficult to dry naturally in that case, we recommend heating it in the microwave after washing to evaporate any moisture. 🍵[ ⚠️ This is not a pure white teapot ] While this teapot allows you to enjoy the whiteness of porcelain, there are individual differences in the glaze, and shadow-like lines may appear. Please note in advance that these often appear, particularly on the spout and handle. 🍵[ What should I do if the rim of the teapot gets stained? ] We often receive this question. Tea stains may accumulate on the rim where the lid rests. In that case, using bleach will make it quite clean. Fill a bowl with water, submerge the teapot, add the specified amount of bleach, and soak for about 30 minutes. Afterward, lightly scrub with a cloth or brush to clean it, then rinse thoroughly. 🍵[ How deep is the tea strainer? ] The depth of the strainer itself is 5 cm. Since the depth of the main body is 6.5 cm, the tea leaves do not sit unnecessarily in the hot water after the first brew, allowing you to enjoy a delicious second brew. At the same time, it is not too shallow, so it is sufficient if you pour a certain amount of hot water.
