急須を使った緑茶の淹れ方
HOW TO PREPARE GREEN TEA USING KYUSU
1 | Boil water and cool it to the right temperature in a yuzamashi or water cooling pitcher.
2 | Measure five (5) grams (1 teaspoon) for a kyusu with 200ml to 250ml of water. Then add to a dry and clean kyusu teapot.
3 | Slowly pour the cooled water into the kyusu, filling it about 90% full, leaving room at the top for cleaner decantation.
4 | Add the lid for the recommended infusion time, generally about one to two minutes for Japanese green tea
5 | Hold the kyusu, secure the lid with your thumb, and pour tea into cups, alternating between them 6-7 times to ensure each cup gets an equal amount. Pour out all the tea from the kyusu.

Very well made and easy to use. Has a built in filter so the tea stays put. Very useful for two people and you get a little over two small cups per serving. Just add more hot water for more. Does not need long to steep. Very happy with the purchase. Easily cleaned with just rinsing.
Beautiful teapot, very cute!
I recently had to stop drinking coffee for health reasons. I love the art of making fine espresso. I have switched to green tea instead. You can still get pretty fancy with tea however. I am enjoying the ritual of making tea. The history of tea, especially in Japan and China is fascinating. This pot is a work of art. It's a pleasure to use and not terribly difficult to clean. I can recommend it.
Great pot
