Testsubin Black Residue

Hello, I have a Kunzan workshop made tetsubin that I have been using for about two years now. I recently discovered that there is a black soot like residue that will come off if you touch the inside of the kettle. This is particularly near the urushi lacquer spots and will leave a very black smudge ...

Re: Yuuki-Cha

I order from Yuki Cha very frequently and have tired many of their offerings. I like to purchase organic tea, and their entire selection is organic which is awesome. Typically with each order I get a set of Sencha selections and try them out. The flavor descriptions on their site are always superb a...

Finishing Process for Teaware

Hey I am curious if anyone has any info on the firing process. More specifically what teapots look like just after firing, and then what most potters do after that to call a piece finished. I have noticed some teapots are very shiny and wonder if they are polished or if some sealer like wax is appli...

Re: Best way to store sencha?

Hey Victoria oops should have dug around to find a better place to post in. But thanks for the great summary here! I will definitely move some of the packages I have to the refrigerator that I don't plan to use right after buying. I generally don't buy in large enough batches that go beyond four - s...
