This small 100 ml side-handle teapot follows the kyūsu form - a Japanese style of teapot designed for control, short infusions, and staying physically close to the brewing process. The sideways handle lines your wrist up naturally with the spout, making it easier to regulate flow and stop extraction cleanly between pours.
The body is made from kiln-fired stoneware with a coarse, mineral-textured surface and a softly matte glaze. The result is durable, heat-stable, and tactile.
Why we think you’ll love this
- It brews in a forgiving, stable way
Stoneware holds heat more steadily than thin porcelain, so your water temperature doesn’t crash between pours. That keeps extractions more consistent across short infusions and makes the pot feel forgiving with teas that can turn sharp when temperatures swing. For a 100 ml size, this balance is especially nice: small enough for precision, substantial enough to stay stable.
- The surface has quiet grip
The softly matte, lightly textured glaze gives a subtle sense of grip when the pot is warm. It’s not rough - just secure in the hand. That makes the whole pouring motion feel calmer and more controlled, especially with the side-handle form.
- The kyūsu shape makes pouring feel natural
The side handle lines your wrist up with the spout, so you can pour slowly, stop cleanly, and control the flow without thinking about it. This matters more than it sounds: good pour control means cleaner flavour and less accidental over-extraction, especially with delicate teas.
- It’s made for short, evolving infusions
At 100 ml, this pot is perfect for brewing in small, repeated steeps. You fully pour off each infusion, let the leaves rest, then go again. The flavours stay layered and expressive instead of getting muddy, and you actually get to taste how the tea changes across pours.
- It’s comfortable for longer sessions
The handle stays cooler than the body, so you’re not fighting heat when you’re brewing multiple rounds. It’s a small detail, but it makes longer, slower sessions feel more relaxed and intentional.
- It quietly changes the pace of your tea ritual
You hold the pot from the side, not above the heat. You pour a little slower. Steam lifts, the stoneware warms your palm, and the moment stretches out. It’s a small object, but it gently nudges the whole ritual into a calmer gear.
