Teapot Evaluation Technique Using Tea

The mesurement of volume is conducted using glass beads. There is some measurement errors about 10-15% of the indicated volume.

Iga Natural Red Clay that enhances the body

I wanted to find the clay that enhances the body and widens the taste of tea on palate. The clay that enhances the body is suitable for fermented teas, such as oolong, black tea and raw pu-erh. It also works well for green tea and all other types of tea. The flavour of green tea becomes very rich if this clay is used. With stronger body, you may feel the sweetness around the palate at the side of mouth and it lingers for a while. Based on my experience, it is less difficult to find the clay teapot that increases the after taste. Some metal ware such as iron kettle and tin will increases the aftertaste too. However, it is quite hard to find the clay that enhances body.

I assumed that the clay in either Shigaraki or Iga area may increases body. It is because the sake, tea and water in these areas give very strong body. The Iga and Shigaraki used to be the bottom of the Biwa Lake back in a few hundred million years ago. The soil in these places is very rich in alkaline minerals and it enhances the body when it is used for the teapot or other tea ware. Generally, Iga and Shigaraki is known for the white clay. However, these places also produce very special red clay (朱泥) too.

The surface of teapot becomes moist

When tea was left in the Iga clay teapot for a while, we observed that the surface of teapot gets moisten. It is because this clay is very porous.This property is deminishing after using it for some time as the clay is sealed by the minerals eluted from tea. Some old Yi Xing clay teapots also do have the same property.

Iga Natural Red Clay Teapot Oxidation Fire by Maekawa Junzo

The production yield of Iga clay teapot is extremely low due to the less elastic character of clay. For example, out of 3 models the artist produces, we can only recover one teapot. The 2/3 of teapots get cracked during frying or firing. Due to the difficulty in craftmanship and low yeild, the price of Iga natural red clay tea ware is relatively higher than other clay.

We worked side by side with Junzo Maekawa who is the artist from Tokoname. He has a very unique back ground. He studied engineering in university. His logical approach makes teapots very functional.

Kobiwako Clay Teapot

We found this clay near the borders of Iga and Shigaraki where it used to be at the bottom of the Biwa Lake way back 4-6 million years ago. The clay from these areas is rich in alkaline mineral such as calcium and potassium that contributes a lot to the body of a tea. In addition, Kobiwako clay is very rich in iron content and the particle size of iron exists in Kobiwako clay is very small thanks to natural decomposition. We tested a number of clays from Kobiwako area and finally we found this clay after spending more than two years of effort.

Sado Akitsu Mumyoi Teapot by Watanabe Tozo

Akitsu is named after the area called Akitsu, where is located the down stream of the highest mountain in Sado Island called Kinpoku mountain. Since 1958, Sado airport was constructed right in the middle of Akitsu areat. Watanabe Tozo has collected Akitsu red clay long ago before the airpot was constructed. However the clay was sleeping in his warehouse for long time as he've never thought it has a great potential in terms of taste alteration. Since a few years ago, I was looking for the clay that could enhance body and conducting various screening. The result of Akitsu clay was outstanding. It drastically increases body of tea as well as after taste. Since Akitsu clay is less elastic and also we wanted to further enhance after taste, we blended Akitsu clay with Nosaka natural clay. The result was very good after all. It works pretty well for fermented tea such as oolong, pu-erh, black tea and white tea. There are 3 types of firing method used for Akitsu Mumyoi. Carbonized reduction, Reduction and Oxidation.

The taste is as follow.

Body: Oxidation > Reduction > Carbonized Reduction

After Taste: Carbonized Reduction > Reduction > Oxidation

Watanabe Tozo is collecting the natural clay from the mountain by himself. Due to some nature of clay, the Akitsu Mumyoi Oxidation models have some variencse in appearance. Some of them look a bit like Jupiter. Please consider these pattens as the character. The clay works very well on taste.

Watanabe Tozo Nosaka Rough Clay Reduction Fired Teapot and Hohin

This is the same clay that is used for the Nosaka rough clay oxidation fired teapot. The reduction fire makes the after taste outstandingly stronger and the at the same time reduces the body. The taste of tea becomes more transpearent and cleaner. This clay is suitable if you are the big fan of after taste and do not need strong body. The color varies depending on the position where these teapots were placed in the kiln. It is not due to the lighting effect.

Bone China StyleTea Ware from Taiwan

We have tried tens of manufacture in China, Taiwan and Japan. We decided to introduce the brand San Xi because of its outstanding craftsmanship and the most importantly it makes the taste of tea very smooth and thick. These porcelain ware works extremely well with our hand crafted teapot too.

In Taiwan, the most of so-called bone china is not exactly the bone china that contains the cow bone ash. That is why we call it "Bone China Style". However the most importantly it carries the similar character as the bone china ware in terms of the effect to the taste and the flavor of tea.

Green-White Glazing Tea Ware from Taiwan

This series of material increases the after taste of tea and on the contrary reduce body. It is suitable for green tea and ripe pu-erh tea. On the contrary, I do not suggest this material for Taiwan oolong and black tea. If you like the clear and transpearent taste of tea, you can also use it for various teas.
