Akitsu Mumyoi Carbonized Reduction
This is teaware made from Akitsu Mumyoi clay that is fired in oxidation and then reduced in charcoal. Compared with oxidation and reduction firing, the finish is even longer and the body lighter.
Almost any tea tastes good in it, but with teas known for a bright flavor, such as black tea, Taiwanese oolong and white tea, the flavor becomes gentler.
It suits those who want to enjoy tea with a calm flavor, and Japanese Green Tea, heavily roasted oolong, traditional Lapsang Souchong and Ripe Pu-erh Tea taste especially good in it.
