Kyusu designed for sencha are crafted to prevent clogging, allow full leaf expansion, and pour cleanly — qualities that make this teapot exceptionally versatile for many kinds of loose-leaf teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kyusu performs beautifully with sencha, hojicha, genmaicha, bancha, oolong, jasmine, black tea, and other loose-leaf teas.
