Kyusu Brewing for Japanese Green Tea

Sat, 23 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A kyusu is not required for Japanese green tea, but it solves several practical problems at once. The side handle keeps the wrist relaxed, the built-in filter manages fine leaves better than many basket infusers, and the low body gives water and leaf close contact without turning every brew into a large mug. For sencha, hojicha, genmaicha, kukicha, and some other Japanese teas, a kyusu can make the routine feel less awkward and the cup more repeatable.
