Kyusu Kwestion

+1 on good gyokuro

I have a shigaraki kyusu and one of Petr Novaks shiboridashi glazed

The shigaraki will enhance it quite alot but also will round the high notes and mottle the other notes. I find I am liking gyokuro to be clear and honest and this to me is best in glazed ware.

How can you have a dishonest tea?
When you brew something in any pot, isn't it the tea that reacts with the vessel? How can you say one is more honest than another? Is Gyokuro or any other tea supposed to be brewed in a glazed pot? Do you understand my point?

haha I mean that glazed ware doesnt enhance. Leaving the brew natural, unaffected, pure, raw or as I called it honest. Dishonest tea that made me laugh Teas can be brewed in which ever wares you like. At the moment my personal preference happens to be a glazed shiboridashi until I get my unglazed one haha

This is an incorrect notion. Everything affects everything. What you are trying to call 'neutral' is an idea, not a reality, that you have read. The notion of 'neutrality' has no meaning in the world of tea. You may prefer one type of pot to another but none of them are neutral. You may experience an 'enhanced' aroma using porcelain, but, this cannot be called 'neutral'. You may experience a deeper(or different) flavor using red clay over porcelain but this doesn't make the porcelain or glazed kyusu, 'neutral'. All these notions are subjective, not realities.
