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!

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

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

@tezumitea 7 күн бұрын

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!

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.
