O-Cha Shiboridashi Teapot Set

[beachape]

Hi,

Does Anyone have this teapot set?
http://www.o-cha.com/shoboridashi-teapot.html

If so, what do you think about it functionally and aesthetically? Any better options for affordable gyokuro sets?

Thanks

I think it is a pretty sweet set! I also like the contempory white they have. Hard to decide.

I have seen lesser sets costing much more. It is the perfect size for gyokuro.

Wow. That looks great. And at a good price. No deal of a similar value comes to mind.

I do!!! I do!!!
And I love love love it! It looks beautiful, feels beautiful to brew, and love drinking the yummy tea in the cups.

So ok, I love love the looks and love love the tea that I make in it- ocha and other.



Ok, no commission here but I do love it!

A very wise choice ...
So what you are saying is that after trying it, you would recommend it to others?

I was playing with the hohin last night with some Hibiki-an Kuradashi Gyokuro Pinnacle and wasn't really impressed by the pour action going on there. It was a bit odd to be honest. I'm failing to find too much reason to use it over a kyusu

I wish I had one on hand, or better yet "in hand" so I could check it out. Maybe it is just a bad fit for you ...

Thanks for all of the replies.

Pentox, when you said it pours a little odd, what exactly do you mean? I was interested in it for the small size compared with a kyusu, but if it doesn't pour well then maybe I'd consider something else.

He is referring to the white hohin, not the pot you are looking at.

Thanks for the clarification. Shiboridashi/Hohin not the same. Maybe I should read more carefully, ha.

Well, that is a whole other topic.

It is a beautiful color- the set from Ocha that I kinda like has two knubby knobs on either side that add to the feel when pouring and some grooves in the spout that aid pouring and dealing with the leaves. The infuser basket in the rishi one is not needed in the ocha teapot and is another reason that I like it.
