I recently purchased some Kukicha, and I was wondering if it was okay for me to brew it in my kyusu. I haven't done it yet, since I don't want to mess up the layering/patina inside the pot. let me know what you guys think.
thanks,
B

Re: Kukicha in a Kyusu
of course no problem there
I would say that's what most people brew their kukicha in
even if its an expensive unglazed one it won't adversely affect its patina unless you brew it for a couple days or so...even then I imagine with proper washing and boiling water you can bring it back to normal again

Re: Kukicha in a Kyusu
Sure, not a problem unless you mean a roasted version that might be called kiki-houjicha or houji-kukicha ...
If it is green, your kyusu will sing
If it is brown, your kyusu will frown

If it's green, the answer is clear to be seen
If it's brown which teapot can it own ?
