This tea pot is interested and functional. Are usually pour with the lid on because the lid is so large the tea would spill out. But it’s a design trade off, because it’s much easier to scoop spent tea grinds out with your fingers, and enjoyable to have full view of the tea. I like that this teapot isn’t too large as too many are (I brew tea for one and about 5 ounces is the largest I would want to go). I have not tried to brew asamushi (deep steamed sencha) yet; and I’m skeptical if the pour would be fast enough. The only thing I would change (I don’t think it’s traditional which is why no pots are like this) would be to have a smooth glazed interior so it’s easier to remove the spent tea grounds.
