New Kyusu

[ambrose]

I just got a new kyusu in yesterday, Im so very happy with it. I love the way it pours and I am finding its rounding off my japanese greens just a bit making them smoooth and tasty. Its a black natsume biri teapot by Gyokko at 7.8oz to the rim, 7oz seems to fit it best, and the brew comes pouring out at 6oz

That looks to be a totally awesome pot! As Steve says; it is absolutely beautiful.

Gorgeous. Love the dark, neutral color and patterning.

What's kind of filter does it have inside?

At the risk of costing myself a bigger hole in my wallet, may I ask for a link to where that may be purchased?

Thank you guys so far I really love it for my japanese greens

This is what the filter looks like bellow, its a built in fine ceramic one. I picked this one up from everyone's tea. Prices are a little overpriced but he is a nice guy and has lots of modern japanese gear.

I also got a new set up, a bamboo cutting board, and a place mat total cost $15

Price seems in line. The one from Den's Tea is 6 oz to the rim, not nearly as good looking (boring in fact), and you can see the workmanship's better on yours, inside and out, and the Den one is $50.

Nice setup. I really like my Den's thing. That along with a glass pitcher and wide shallow cups is becoming my go to.

Ive been eyeing this pot for over a yr, last time I ordered some cups and told Kohei I would be back for the pot.

Here I am I went back for the pot Mind the pictures my hand wasn't very steady, and the filter was a little wet as I just rinsed it out.

I just want to say that Kohei the owner of everyone's tea , is the most helpful and friendly vendor Ive ever dealt with. He is also insanely fast to ship it out, I ordered the pot on tueday and it was here from japan saturday morning Thats not the first time either the same thing when I ordered some cups.

Ive been enjoying watching you guys grow your set ups and gear too.

The dens one is nice but there is something about tokoname handmade gear that has a butt-load more soul to it

Do you mean bit or butt-load? The latter seems right to me.

Great pick of your teapot doing a handstand. I did not expect it to be so well balanced.
