Made By Hand Attraction
Few things are more beautiful than a handmade item. Whether it is an afghan, a quilt, or the timelessness of well crafted pottery the individual effort exhibited by something that was made personally as opposed to mass produced is undeniable. The Kyusu teapot is one such object. Handcrafted in Japan, each Kyusu teapot has its own unique personality. The pride and ownership that the Japanese put into just about every product that they produce is wrapped up in each of these teapots. Often, sporting hand painted leaves, flowers, or even the mixture of Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana (Japanese script), the Kyusu teapot with its unique design is in a class of its own.
Individual to group size
Like any other teapot the Kyusu teapot has many different sizes. You can procure a Kyusu teapot for an individual, which means it only holds enough for one serving. Or you can get Kyusu teapots large enough to serve 12 or more people. Unlike other teapots, the Kyusu teapot has a definite shape to it. Although they may change in size they do not change in design.
Exclusively designed
The Kyusu teapot was designed especially to brew green tea in. Green tea, when brewed in a metal teapot will pick up the flavor of the metal elements. This will destroy the subtle nuances that green tea has. The ceramic that the Kyusu teapot is made from allows the green tea to develop flavor as it was meant to without leaching any taste from the teapot while steeping.
The origins of the Kyusu teapot
The Kyusu teapot is originally from the one of the “Six Old Kilns of Japan”. This is not exactly what it sounds like. The city was designated along with five other cities. They are Shigaraki, Bizen, Tanba, Echizen, and Soto. The reason they are called this is because they produce large amounts of ceramic products, having hundreds of kilns working to create Kyusu teapots along with other unique and beautiful stoneware.
Easiest teapot around
Easy to hold and pour from with a simple twist of the wrist you can pour a cup or cups of delicious tea. Their lightweight construction makes them easy to handle, even when full. The fact that it does not have a lot of added weight due to its construction makes this a great gift for elderly people who may have a problem lifting a heavier or more utilitarian teapot. The Kyusu teapot is a hand-made product.
Washing has never been so easy
Relatively easy to care for the Kyusu teapot is a great addition to your tea drinking paraphernalia. Simply rinse the Kyusu teapot with clear water. No soap or special detergents to clean or maintain a Kyusu teapot. Once the teapot is washed you are ready to use it again. What could be easier?
A Kyusu teapot is a great gift idea. Be careful when shopping for and buying a Kyusu teapot. You may find yourself inadvertently addicted to the collecting of these uniquely hand-crafted ceramic pieces. You can buy a Kyusu teapot individually or you can purchase a full set, along with special cups to drink your green tea from. Look online for the best deals, but if you are in a hurry your local mall will more that likely have a specialty store that carries one or two Kyusu teapots as part of their regular inventory.
