'''Kyusu''' (also: kyūsu, 急須) are Japanese teapots used for brewing tea. The word "kyusu" in Japanese refers to any teapot, with a common misconception that all kyusu pots possess a side handle, which is technically the yokode kyusu. The misconception is exacerbated in light of modern parlance where "kyusu" usually refers to the side-handled yokode kyusu variety of Japanese kyusu. <ref>Kyusu teapots[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABsu Shizuoka Prefecture Official site]</ref> are generally used for brewing green tea in particular, while other varieties of tea such as black and Oolong can also be brewed depending on the variety of kyusu used and the material used to make the teapot.
