Hello, I'm looking for my first Kyusu after years of brewing in glass or typical glazed ceramics. I drink predominantly Japanese Sencha, Gyokuro and Genmaicha and am looking to marry a daily use Kyusu to these. I have particularly narrowed in on Tokoname and Sado Mumyoi clays. If anybody is consider...

Harayama yabukita Sencha this morning, hand picked first flush 2024 from D Matcha. Excellent sencha with great color and very little bitterness.

Green I picked from my own tree and hand rolled. In my poor man's Shiboridashi (repurposed Gravy bowl!)

I’ve just begun looking for a bofura to use over charcoal during the winter months when I have a fire going most days. Is anybody familiar with a good source of quality bofura? Also interested in what others may use as heat sources as I’m sure I’ll want to set up for alternatives to charcoal

Has anybody conducted a side by side comparison with the same tea using mumyoi and tokoname? Also interested if there is any information on compatibility of this clay with different tetsubin or bofura.

Hello, I am excited to have found this forum. I've enjoyed tea, specifically green, for a long time.

Perhaps some of you with some experience in this may like to suggest your favorite pot...
