{"product_id":"japanese-white-hohin-teapot","title":"Japanese White Hohin Teapot (~160 ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hohin is a handleless Japanese teapot made specifically for brewing premium green teas like gyokuro, kabusecha, and high-grade sencha. Unlike the kyusu, the everyday side-handled teapot, the hohin is designed for delicate, temperature-sensitive teas. You hold the body directly while pouring, which lets you feel the water temperature and naturally guides you to use cooler water that won't burn your hands or scorch the tea. The wide, low shape gives leaves room to expand fully and helps water cool to the right temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctional Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hohin is made from white porcelain with a smooth, non-porous surface that won't absorb tea flavors, so you can use it for any type of tea without worrying about flavor carryover between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hohin holds 160ml (about 5.4 oz), enough for two small cups of tea. The spout has engraved ridges that strain most tea leaves. While this works well for most teas, it's worth noting that very fine particles from teas may pass through, which is actually traditional and adds body to the tea. The teapot is dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker: Miyama\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiyama Co.
