Wow, looking forward to hearing more from you, and remember a picture speaks a thousand words...fortunato wrote:Hello !
I'm a newbie, I follow the teachat.com since a while and as I saw that topic I thought 'why not ?' and then I posted that pictures about my teaware, but the photos are from last year, a few things changed now...
And I also wanted to practice again my poor english...
At that time I had a few packages of Fuji The Ultimate Shincha from www.zencha.net and the tiny green package contains Temomicha from www.makinouen.co.jp
On the bottom you can see a Kaneta Masanao Yunomi.
Will post later what I use now as kyusu, a Sado Island red clay kyusu by Watanabe Tozo.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

Yes, I get it from Hojo. I really love it, never had a kyusu like that so far... I only drink high grade sencha as Hon Yama Hebizuka with it... About zhuni I never compared because I never had a yixing teapot, I only drink japanese green tea...Tead Off wrote:fortunato,
Did you get that Sado pot from Hojo? How are you liking it and what are you brewing in it? I had a chance to taste from a Sado pot in Hojo's shop but the pot didn't make better tea than the yixing zhuni that we tested side by side. What do you think?
I don't know if I have 'le bon goût d'1 français (ceci-dit c'est à voir
)' about my teaware choice, but I only can say that I love to use natural clay teapots and Hagi ware for my favorite japanese green tea...I attached a few pictures with the Watanabe Tozo Kyusu, a Kaneta Masanao Yunomi (that I always use as the teapot), the tray by Naoko Shintani for Villa (Milano) and a Yamane Seigan Yuzamashi, Kensui and Futa Oki :

Fortunato... you have some neat "stuff". (I also love the aerial photograph of your collection!)
If you ever want to share some detailed photographs, I for one would very much enjoy seeing them
