Type of Tea Strainers
A ceramic tea strainer is recommended to fully enjoy the aroma of tea. It can be used for a variety of tea leaves, from high-grade tea such as Gyokuro(refined green tea) to Hojicha(roasted green tea) for daily use. Dome-shaped ceramic tea strainers have hundreds of holes made one by one by master craftsman. On the other hand, "Sasame" and "Ceramesh", which are processed with elaborate molds, are made using new ceramics technology.
Both of the tea strainers are known for less clogging of tea leaves and smooth tea pouring.
The removable stainless steel cup strainer is ideal for those who want to enjoy tea quickly and on a daily basis, as it is convenient for disposing of tea leaves. The fine mesh stainless steel strainer can be used not only for Japanese tea, but also for black tea, Chinese tea, and other teas from around the world, as well as herbal tea, persimmon tea, and buckwheat tea.
How to clean teapot?
Clean Japanese Teapot with water or warm water as much as possible, but if you use dishing detergent, rinse with water thoroughly so that make sure no detergent remains. And make sure to dry it well. As you continue to use it, Tokoname ware gains charm of color and luster.
Also, Tokoname teapots have a unique shape, so if you are not familiar with them, there is a chance that you may drop or bump them when washing by hand and cause damage. In order to keep your Tokoname teapot clean and make delicious tea easily at any time, here are some recommended ways to wash it.
The most common case is bumping the spout or handle against the sink when washing. By wrapping the handle tightly with one hand and holding it so that the spout is facing you, as shown in the figure, those parts will be protected.
Running water from the tap and pouring it in through the spout will easily wash away the tea leaves on the tea strainer inside. All tea strainers have a very fine mesh, so be sure to rinse off any remaining tea leaves from the strainer to keep it clean.
A small brush, such as a kitchen brush or a clean toothbrush, can be used to easily remove clogged tea leaves. Dry well after washing.
