New release of Akitsu Mumyoi and Shigaraki clay teapots.
We have just released 3 types of hand-made clay teapot, Akitsu Mumyoi Oxidation, Akitsu Mumyoi Reduction and Shigaraki rough clay teapot. All 3 types of clay enhance body of tea well.
Akitsu Mumyoi Oxidation Fired Clay by Watanabe Tozo 渡辺陶三
It enhances not only the after taste but also the body of tea. The intensity of body enhanced by this teapot is one of the greatest amount HOJO’s existing lineup. A flavor becomes very rich and it fills your palate. This clay works pretty well for all types of tea. In particular, it performs excellently with fermented tea such as oolong and black tea. I often use this clay for raw pu-erh tea as well. it gives very clean mouth feel, yet it never diminish the flavor.
Akitsu Mumyoi Carbonized Reduction Fired Clay by Watanabe Tozo 渡辺陶三
With reduction firing, it enhanced the after taste more than that of oxidation fired clay. The intensity of body and after taste enhanced by this clay is well balanced. It gives very round taste. It works excellently with all types of tea.
Shigaraki Rouch Clay Teapot by Masaki Tachi 舘正規
This teapot consists of very rough particle、The clay was collected in Shigaraki town where used to be the bottom of Biwa lake back in 600 million years ago. That is why clay contains a lot of alkaline mineral such as calcium. Thanks to the rich alkaline mineral, it enhances body as well as after taste. Based on our own experience, it works pretty well for raw pu-erh tea and Japanese green tea. You could also use it for oolong or black tea too.
We do not recommend this clay for Anxi Tie Guan Yin, Phoenix Oolong and Wu Yi Oolong. It gives astringency in taste.
For Malaysia, these 3 types of clay model are arriving in 1-2 months.
