Re: Buying tea in Japan, via a friend.
Nothing wrong with playing it safe. In Kyoto both Ippodo and Thes du Japón are good bets. The best Hojicha I’ve found is from Ippodo , as well as their Tokusen Gyokuro (premium limited edition). Thes du Japón has a following on this forum, they have an extensive selection based on cultivars. They al...

Re: How to clean/maintain my unglazed Shigaraki Ibushi Chawan?
I have a couple of Ibushi plates, one I scrubbed with the rough side of a sponge and very hot water that smoothed the surface slightly, the other I only use hot water and soft brush to clean and remains rough to the touch. If you enjoy the rough texture, I’d just recommend a soft brush with hot wate...

Re: Ode to the Kyusu
It’s fine to use. It’s an mass produced, economical kyusu from Tokoname, made of red/shudei clay probably mixed with harmless red iron oxide to give it a richer red color. Probably slip cast rather than hand wheel thrown. The metal filter (vs ceramic) makes it faster/cheaper to produce. Metal filter...

Re: Yixing
And this is the smaller one :D ./download/file.php?id=14203 Curious if you are using your purple clay flower pot with any tea in particular? I’ve started using mine with Hojicha which uses off boiling water so the thick walls work well with this tea late at night, even though it’s big around 500ml ...

Re: Gyokuro recommendations
So basicaly the same concept as the "ware house" Tokusen Gyokuru? That was nicer than regular Gyokuru Well, there are various grades of Gyokuro for sure, even though the expense of shading for 45 days is already costly, then presorting only the finest leaves and then time needed for aging. Windowle...

Re: Gyokuro recommendations
It’s only early August now. Gyokuro is aged in cool storage 3-6-12 months so typically new iterations are sold after September, into the following year. Reading through this thread and Green Tea forum will have highlights from years past. I have found Gyokuro to be consistent in quality with vendor...
