Translating to "treasure jar" or "magical jar", the Hohin is a traditional teapot that is designed to offer a deep appreciation of the umami flavor, rich mouthfeel, and lovely jade color of Japanese Gyokuro. The Hohin is designed without a handle, making it suitable for teas like Gyokuro that require a lower water temperature for infusion. The spout has a ceramic filter inside to strain most of the tealeaves. It is perfectly acceptable, however, to allow some of the finer Gyokuro tea leaf to flow through into the cup. This adds to the luscious body and rich mouthfeel of high-grade Gyokuro.

New friend
I'm glad to have finally added this new friend to my collection. I had wanted one some time ago and they... weren't available. So glad I opted to have Rishi contact me when they became available because I love this little treasure jar. The size is perfect so I don't have to do any additional measuring; just heat my water and fill. The porcelain is absolutely beautiful and it feels great in my had when pouring. This hohin is perfect for the higher grade Japanese green teas when you want to include some of the smaller leaf particals for that silky mouthfeel. Thank you Rishi, I absolutely love this!
