What is a Kyusu Teapot?
Kyusu (急須) is the traditional Japanese side-handle teapot design derived from ancient Chinese gongfu cha (功夫茶) brewing culture. This iconic side-handle shape has been beloved for centuries for its ergonomic, comfortable pouring that keeps your hand safely away from hot water, making it ideal for precise, controlled brewing of oolong, green tea, black tea, and pu-erh.
