David, your passion for tea is infectious 😊
You are like the James Hoffmann of tea and I love it! Please keep making videos, they are very relaxing and informative.
Wow, that's such high praise! We'll do our best!
I'm an American potter who has made English and Japanese style teapots. I've only ever made the round shape Kyusu with the spherical filter and it quickly became my favorite style of teapot to make and to use. That being said I really enjoyed hearing about all the other styles of Japanese teapot and the pros and cons of each. Thank you for this excellent video!
Very informative, without being pretentious or condescending with your knowledge. Subscribed!
Thanks! We try our best
Under 1k subs? This was really well presented!
Thanks, that means a lot!
beginner friendly and very informative, thank you for sharing the considerations that go with using the different teapots. it's fascinating to learn the different types and how they are made. please make more videos like these!
this video was so chock-full of information and wonderfully communicated. Thanks so much! keep up the great work 👍
Thank you so much!
I have a porcelain shiboridashi (the love of my life! 🤭) I can brew anything on it! From japanese sencha to chinese oolongs, you name it (though my fingers lost heat sensitivity over the years 😅)
Very good video. In Japan I purchased a kyusu and shiboridashi but couldn't remember the second name. My shiboridashi is taller so it looks more like a Chinese gaiwan rather than the flatter style you had.
Yeah, shiboridashi, especially those made outside of Tokoname, can also be in that taller, more houhin/gaiwan style
Just came back from Japan and Uji and got HOOKED on Matcha and Japanese green teas! Amazing and informative channel, keep going 🫶
Awesome! Thank you! ☺️🙏🍵
Very nice and informative. Thank you!
this channel is wonderful
Such wonderful information and detailed. Thanks so much for sharing.❤
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I love it😍
Isn't the first black tea pot (Shiboridashi) a bit like a Gaiwan? Or a bit Gongfu chan vibe? Could you elaborate on the differences in a video. Also black Japanese tea would be an interesting topic, regards
Good point! Shiboridashi probably evolved from or were inspired by gaiwan. The primary difference is the spout and the flatter shape. Japanese black tea is a very interesting topic, both historically and today, so it'll definitely feature in a video at some point!
In the filter section of the video the ceramic filter have been almost invisible.
Maybe using a spot led light or a led light in the spout could help to illuminated the filters better
Thanks for the feedback! Will try and get some light in there next time
Thank you, really enjoyed this informative, to-the-point video! I saw some really flat 100ml kyusu teapots with the handle - how do they compare to the shiboridashi in terms of usage? It seems they would be as good for sencha and gyokuro as the shiboridashi pots? I’m just starting out with my tea journey and wondering what pot I should get for Japanese green teas - any advice would be much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful! Good question. Flat kyusu are comparable to shiboridashi - their wide, flat shape and small size are also specially designed to promote even contact between the leaves and the water, aiding the extraction of umami from high-grade sencha and gyokuro. The primary differences would be the filter and handle.
Does the Kyusu have to be made out of clay? What are the benefits of clay vs lets say glass?
Not necessarily! Glass works very well and behaves quite similarly to glazed porcelain. Clay tends to hold heat better and can have subtle effects on the flavour of the tea (unglazed clay only), but that's mostly it
Have you ever beat the Koto Nai?
