🍵 [Can I use it in the dishwasher?] Yes, you can. However, if you do, water may get inside the dishwasher through the small holes at the base of the handle and accumulate inside. Since air drying may not dry the tea easily, we recommend heating it in the microwave after washing to remove the moisture. 🍵 [Why can I use detergent?] Tokoname ware and Banko ware have countless small holes on their surfaces, which can absorb detergent and ruin the flavor of the tea. Unsui teapots, on the other hand, are made of porcelain and have no such holes, so detergent is not absorbed. 🍵 [What should I do about the stains on the rim of my teapot?] We often get asked this question. Tea stains can sometimes stain the rim where the lid sits. In this case, using bleach can significantly improve the appearance. Fill a bowl with water, immerse the teapot in it, add the recommended amount of bleach, and leave it to soak for about 30 minutes. After that, lightly scrub it with a cloth or brush, then rinse thoroughly. 🍵 [How deep is the tea strainer?] The tea strainer itself is 5cm deep. The main body is 6.5cm deep, so even after the first brew, the tea leaves won't be soaked in hot water, allowing you to enjoy delicious tea all the way through to the second brew. That said, it's not too shallow either, so just pour in a certain amount of hot water. 🍵 [Which teapot do you honestly recommend?] There are many different types of teapots, each tailored to the priorities of each customer. In this case, if you prioritize flavor, you should go for the Hiramaru Kyusu. If you prioritize ease of use, you should go for the Shizuku Kyusu or Rasen Kyusu. In between, you should go for the Unsui Kyusu.
