The simple, straightforward design works well with any tea or table setting.

Ippodo teapots are meticulously designed to incorporate a range of qualities that our customers appreciate. Most important is for a teapot that allows them to prepare delicious Japanese tea. Other priorities include being usable on a daily basis, being easy to clean, and fitting in well with any table setting.

As a dealer in Japanese tea, Ippodo considers the crucial feature of this teapot to be its beautiful translucent whiteness, which makes the colour of the tea and tea leaves look fresh and beautiful. The teapot has a characteristic bright white colour that derives from the Amagusa porcelain stone used to produce the porcelain. After pouring the tea, remove the lid to see the vibrant green of the tea leaves that have soaked up water.

This is a great first teapot for someone who wants to make Japanese tea part of their day-to-day life, but isn’t sure which teapot to choose. It also makes a good second teapot for people who already enjoy drinking Japanese tea. Think of it as a utensil that is suitable for any everyday situation involving tea.

How do Ippodo staff use it?

Some of our staff always keep the White Porcelain Teapot with Back Handle at the ready in their kitchens for use on a regular basis. And, because it holds enough tea, it can stay on the table to provide a second helping of tea during breakfast and dinner. The large lid, which makes cleaning easy, and the fact that it can be cleaned with bleach when necessary are also convenient features. Due to its simple, modest design, our staff also give it to friends who are interested in Japanese tea.
