What Is a Shiboridashi?

A Shiboridashi (絞り出し) is a traditional Japanese teapot designed for brewing small quantities of premium loose-leaf tea.

Unlike conventional teapots, a Shiboridashi has a wide, shallow body and a lid that allows the tea to be gently poured while holding back the leaves.

Its compact design makes it particularly suitable for brewing Gyokuro and other fine Japanese green teas at lower temperatures, where careful control of water and brewing time brings out the tea's natural sweetness and umami.
