Hello dear tea fellows,
if someone wants to join my upcoming order at yunomi.life to share the shipping costs, you are very welcome.

I would place my order during or after this weekend.

I'm from Germany, so further shipping to EU is also possible.

thank you! There are many ideas around this for ceramic kettles: rice water, flour, tea, etc. [...] I don't want to taste off flavors from starches and teas. I know about the rice water seasoning, but mainly because of sealing leaking pots/cups (low-fired and/or coarse clays like Hagi-yaki etc.). I ...

well, last year I've written new year, new teapot this year it is a new kettle (*): IMG_20220105_164801376.jpg IMG_20220105_164750022.jpg Stove from Mirka Randova, Kettle from Petr Sklenicka, both very nice items, perfectly crafted.

Thank you!

Hallo vom Süden in den Norden!

This is a quite interesting topic, especially as I have a Bigetsu Banko kyusu, where Florent from TdJ is writing about: the clay he uses: red “akatsuchi” , which he makes himself.

I have the issue with Hojo currently..
Waiting for his PayPal invoice since a few days

But that seems kind of normal?

I bought a Kyusu from them over eBay on 1st January (new year, new teapot), It was shipped immediately at the first working day on 4th Jan.
So at least somebody is working there

Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Sebastian and tea addict! - How long have you been drinking tea? My (serious) tea jorney began about 2 years ago. Before that I just drank tea to not have to drink unflavoured water. I don't know how it exactly happened, but one day I just had enough of tea bags and super m...
