That Ryu pot was my first Kyusu. Very nice choice!twno1 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 9:14 pm
I'd prefer ball or sasame filter type.
I bought a beautiful Sakura Mt Fuji Kyusu by Gyokko but after using it for about a week, I've come to realize that it's too big for 1 person (290ml) and kinda annoying to clean.
I ended up ordering an "ultra flat" kyusu by Sekiryu which should arrive sometime today. It's much smaller at 170ml and seems like it will be much easier to clean.
Will I be able to find any "special" Tokoname clays if I'm only looking at kyusu under $100 USD? Most of the kyusu I've seen shopping online do not specify a specific clay type...
I think I am a bit of an oddball though when it comes to size, my ride or die kyusu is roughly 330ml and I'm about to brew 70ml of tea in it. But it is a very comfortable pot so it doesn't feel excessive at all.
