Led by the Umehara family, this pottery is globally recognized for its exceptional handmade clay teapots, known as kyusu. Key information about Tamamitsu pottery: The craftsmen: The Umehara family, notably the late Harutaka Umehara (certified traditional craftsman) and his son Hirotaka Umehara, craft these pieces. Clay and characteristics: Tamamitsu teapots are typically unglazed and made from iron-rich clays. The reaction of the iron with the tea's tannins softens astringency and enhances flavor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Tokoname Clay\u003cbr\u003eFilter: Sasame\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: 180ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in Japan.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thés Guru Teas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44443876163626,"sku":null,"price":152.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2425\/5783\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_0bb09ad4-9b78-4ac1-8a0b-bd754296fff7.jpg?v=1780956989","url":"https:\/\/t-guru.ca\/en\/products\/kyusu-by-tamamitsu-tokoname","provider":"Thés Guru Teas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
