The Benefit
Your Morning Tea, Finally Worth Slowing Down For
There is something about holding a wooden kyusu teapot that just changes the whole mood of the morning. No more rushed mug, no more sad tea bag dangling over the sink. This little side-handle brewer turns your loose-leaf ritual into something you actually look forward to. Warm wood in your hands, a proper pour, and tea that tastes the way tea is supposed to taste. That is the whole point, honey.
Craft & Materials
Jujube Wood, Built for Serious Tea Brewing
Jujube wood is not your average material, let me tell you. It is a dense, naturally aromatic hardwood with a long history in East Asian tea culture, and it brings a quiet warmth to every brew. The kyusu side-handle design is not just pretty to look at, mind you. It gives you real control over your pour, which matters more than people think. The built-in strainer keeps your loose leaves exactly where they belong.
In the Cup
One Side-Handle Pour, One Perfect Cup
Picture this: your water is just off the boil, your oolong is measured out, and you set the leaves right into the kyusu. You wait. You pour. The side handle sits perfectly in your hand, steady and natural, and the tea comes out clean and clear through the built-in strainer. No fuss, no mess, no leaves floating around. Between you and me, this is the kind of small moment that makes the whole day feel a little more civilized.
Everyday Proof
Twelve Ounces That Pull Their Weight Daily
Twelve ounces is just right for a generous solo brew or two small cups shared with someone you like. The side handle keeps things comfortable whether you are pouring at the kitchen counter or carrying it to the table. The wood does not conduct heat the way ceramic or cast iron does, so you are not burning your hand every time you reach for it. Hold on now, that is not a small thing when you brew tea twice a day.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered

It holds 12 ounces, which is just right for one generous serving or two smaller cups. Well now, that is a practical size for a solo morning ritual or a quiet moment shared with a friend.
Can I use this teapot on the stovetop to heat water?
No, this jujube wood teapot is not stovetop safe and should never be placed over an open flame or heat source. Heat your water separately, then pour it over your loose leaves in the kyusu. That is the proper way to do it, believe me.

Hand wash only, and no soaking. Jujube wood needs gentle handling to stay in good shape over time. Skip the dishwasher entirely. A quick rinse and a soft cloth are really all you need after each use.

Yes, the teapot has a built-in strainer, so you can brew loose-leaf tea straight in the pot without needing a separate infuser or filter. Everything you need to get started is right there when it arrives.
What types of tea work best in this kyusu brewer?
This side-handle kyusu is well suited for loose-leaf teas brewed at moderate temperatures, think green teas, white teas, oolongs, and herbal blends. Just mind you keep the water temperature appropriate for the tea you are brewing.

How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
