?Nozomi-net (types of stainless steel tea strainers) Various types of tea strainers have been invented for different types of tea leaves. In particular, the demand for deep steaming kyusu rapidly increased after the introduction of stainless steel mesh tea strainers. The key to a kyusu tea kettle is that the first tea leaves must be poured quickly and be easy to drain in order to brew the second and third cups to a delicious taste. The "Nozomi net" has a wide tea strainer net inside the kyusu, which provides excellent functionality for comfortable pouring. Tokoname teapots are instantly recognizable as Tokoname from their thin vessel walls; exquisite, fine detail work on lids, spouts and handles; decorative techniques and perfect balance.
