FAQs
Can I use this set on a stovetop?
No, this set is designed for serving purposes only and should not be placed on direct heat sources.
Is the set dishwasher safe?
We recommend hand washing to preserve the glaze and the longevity of the ceramic material.
How many ounces does the teapot hold?
The teapot is sized for standard service, typically holding enough liquid to fill the four included cups comfortably.
Is the green finish prone to fading?
With proper hand washing and storage away from direct, harsh sunlight, the finish will remain vibrant for years.
Can this be used for herbal teas?
Yes, while designed for green tea, the set is perfectly capable of brewing any loose-leaf herbal tea of your choice.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty holding the handle
Adjust your grip closer to the body of the pot; the side handle is designed for a balance-point hold rather than a traditional top-handle grip.
Tea pouring too slowly
Ensure that the internal filter is not clogged with excessive leaf debris. Clear the filter holes gently with a soft brush.
Surface stains
Avoid letting tea sit in the pot for extended periods. Use a paste of baking soda and water to gently lift stubborn tea tannins from the interior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Japanese Kyusu Style Tea Set, always pre-warm the teapot with a splash of hot water before adding tea leaves to prevent thermal shock. When cleaning, avoid harsh abrasive sponges or high-heat dishwasher cycles, as these can dull the green finish over time. Simply rinse with warm water and mild dish soap after every use, then air-dry completely before storing. Ensure the teapot is placed on a heat-safe coaster or mat if your table surface is delicate, as the bottom of the pot can transfer significant heat during the steeping process.
