Our horsetail dobin style tea pot was handcrafted in Nagasaki, a famous pottery town in southern Japan. The beautifully hand painted lines are reminiscent of the fluttering hairs of a horse's tail. With a larger volume and a built in strainer, this teapot shines with all teas from Houjicha, Genmaicha, Sencha, and more. This earthenware teapot serves 3 to 4. Its round shape better circulates the tea leaves inside, ensuring that the tea leaves fully unfold and release their best flavors. These earthen teapots, made by ceramic artisans, have a beautiful yet practical form and continue to be handcrafted in the pottery town of Hasami today despite a drastic decrease in the number of earthenware teapot kilns in recent years.
