Description

Crafted by the venerable Japanese Oigen foundry, operating continuously since 1862, the Tsubomi teapot embodies exceptional quality. Its carefully refined, balanced rounded form gives rise to its name: Tsubomi, the Japanese word for "bud" — a poetic nod to the teapot's gentle, graceful contours that evoke a flower bud on the verge of unfurling.

With a capacity of 0.6 litres, the Tsubomi incorporates a stainless steel filter and an enamelled interior, making it suitable for brewing any variety of tea. This distinctive and eloquent piece gradually acquires a remarkably magnificent patina as it ages.

To preserve the quality and beauty of your teapot, follow the steps below: 
1 – After using the teapot, rinse it out with hot water, avoiding the use of detergents. 
2 – Dry the outside of the teapot while it is still warm.
