I have the clay filter and to combat that clogging problem I swirl it halfway through the pour and just force out as much as I can, the rest of the water I just let gravity pull it away from the clog so it stops steeping. Lower temperature helps combat the bitterness for me in my case.

I tilt my kyusu more slowly when pouring to minimize clogging the sasame filter. It also helps avoid dripping.

I'm so glad to hear this works!

That’s indeed interesting… isn’t it difficult to clean the pots after use? I have to admit that I still use a simple glas pot due to easy cleaning and pouring off through a paper filter. Maybe show us how to clean this pots most easily:)

I am in the market for a Teapot for brewing Japanese Sencha, I am curious about the clay filter, what if you just started pouring a few seconds earlier to allow for the longer pour time. Just thinking outside the box to compensate for the clogging potential.

yes there are ways around the clogging, you can pour very slowly so it doesn't clog

I'm kind of still stuck on deciding what to do with my teapots and how many I will actually need. So far I have two, I've decided to use one kyusu for green teas (I have genmaicha and a gyokoru and even a jasmine green tea) and another for black teas mix of oolongs What I'm trying to stray away from is having to need a teapot for every type of teas I have. This is a little frustrating. Can you go a little further into this concept on if it's ok or not to mix other teas in the same kyusu? Fair note, I haven't used any of the teapots yet as I just bought them yesterday. I have one that's glazed and another one that's matte. I was planning to use black teas in the glazed kyusu. All my green teas in the matte finished one.

The one thing I will say is that the glazed teapot will be the most versatile. You can easily switch from one tea type to another without the residual flavors impacting one another. I have a matte teapot that I use for both gyokuro and sencha as those are pretty similar and then I have a glazed one for Hojicha, Genmaicha etc. I would say all your Japanese teas could be prepared in a solid glazed kyusu.

@@Nioteas Thank you so much for your help! Just wanted to say that, your videos are super amazing. I've learned so much about Matcha and green teas and teapots from you and you've inspired me to go in this journey. Now i have a large collection of loose leaf teas and cant wait to explore all of them. Thanks for putting out the great content. it's made an impact on me!

what i noticed on the second brewing was that you had the water in the black pot way longer than in the brown one. I stopped the time and brown pot had the water in for 27 seconds until you started pouring for around 8 seconds. (so 27 + 8) For the black pot you had the water inside for 37 seconds until you also started pouring for around 8 seconds (37 + 8) Dont you think that its way more likely that the difference in taste actually comes from the difference in time? Please take this as constructive criticism, I am a big fan of your channel, I am just trying to help by thinking out loud :)

yes it is possible, it's always hard to get the timing right when filming but we did this to demonstrate what we have been noticing off camera. Thanks for the comment, we're always open to hear how we can improve
