Description
Mino-yaki Houhin Tea Pot, Gifu Prefecture. 160cc/5.4oz. H. 2.75" (7cm) x W. 4.625" (11.75cm) x Bowl Diameter 3.125"(8cm). Weight 199 grams. White porcelain interior and exterior show tea well, and can also be used for multiple kinds of teas, and is easy to clean. Like Shiboridashi tea pots, Houhin have no handle, and are often made in smaller sizes. However, they do often have an interior filter leading to a separate spout, that is attached just below the lid. Also, like Shiboridashi, no handle means that teas that infuse at a lower temperature are best-suited for brewing in a Houhin tea pot. This includes high quality Sencha and Gyokuro.
