Midori means "green" in Japanese. As the name implies, this Tokoname teapot has a beautiful light green glaze. It is a great kyusu to brew shincha for yourself or guests. It has a built-in metal sieve called an "obiami" which wraps all the way around the inside of the tea pot. This type of sieve promotes a smooth and complete pour by preventing the wet leaves from clogging the inside of the spout.
