If you prefer high-quality green teas or single-servings, a hôhin, Yokode kyusu, or a shiboridashi is the best choice. If you like to brew larger quantities, the uwade or ushirode kyusu is a better fit. If you're left-handed, the Yokode kyusu may be difficult to pour unless you get one custom made with the handle on the opposite side. The bamboo handle of the Uwade kyusu may be a better fit for left-handed individuals. vintage style porcelain brass tea set

Once you know your brewing style, you can hone in on what type of material you prefer. If you like the Chinese style ceramic teapots, the Ushirode kyusu offers a similar look and feel with white porcelain tea set construction. Otherwise, choose a clay option depending on your regional and color preferences.

Antique Japanese teapots also make great gift sets for Christmas, weddings, and house-warmings. They're the perfect option for tea lovers who want to create their own version of the Japanese tea ceremony.  Japanese teapot sets are also great for everyday brewing of loose tea. Simply add hot water, your favorite loose leaf tea and enjoy the artistry of tea making.
