Nosaka Rough Clay Oxidation Firing by Tozo Watanabe
Nosaka Rough Clay Oxidation is teaware made from raw clay that Tozo Watanabe collected in an area called Nosaka, in Sawane on Sado Island and fired in oxidation.
It raises the aftertaste (richness and lingering finish), but above all it pushes the body (sideways spread and airy softness) to the limit. It generally suits any tea, including Japanese green tea, Pu-erh tea, white tea, Phoenix Dan Cong oolong, Anxi oolong and Wuyi oolong, but we recommend it for those who like a full body. Teas such as Dong Ding Oolong, Wuyi rock tea, and the teas of Lao Ban Zhang, Xi Gui, Ma An Shan and Mang Fei show what we mean by full body. It therefore pairs superbly with Wuyi rock tea, which is also full-bodied.
