The Japanese have also made Japanese teapot, which have acted as collectibles by people all over the word. This special collected teapot is made from cast iron and is not fragile and is called the Tetsubin. The Tetsubin date back to as early as the 17th century and has been used diversely from household crockery and have evolved into some exquisite works of collection items depicting the Japanese culture. The specialty of these is that they are handcrafted unlike another variety called the yixing. The Tetsubin are glazed from below making them give out the perfect flavor of tea as they do not absorb any external flavor. This pot hence can be used to pour any tea of any brand. Due to this, you could also select your favorite brand producing your favorite flavor.

There are some others, which are again favorites of the Japanese, as they have manufactured it with the side handle for easy handling and these pots are the ceramic pots.
One of the most traditional Japanese teapots is kyusu. This brand of Japanese pots is specially designed for green tea and its brewing. Many of us must know of kyusu as a pot always having a side handle but here is where we go wrong. Kyusu is basically a Japanese word standing for tea pots as a whole with or without side handles. Yokode kyusu and ushirode kyusu are two varieties of the well-known kyusu pots and here the former comes with a side handle whereas the latter can always be seen with a back handle like the pots found in the rest of the world.

Now let’s look at the famous Japanese tea drinking culture. The Japanese for centuries now have continued to enjoy a ceremony called the way of tea which is a cultural activity for the production and display of ”matcha”. Matcha is usually a Japanese form for powdered green tea. The art of performing matcha is called temae. The Zen Buddhism primarily influenced Japan in its culture of tea ceremony.

Chakai is the name given to various types of tea gatherings. Here it’s a serving of tea along with a light meal and this gathering lasts for about 4 hours.
I absolutely adore the Japanese way of relishing something with so much taste fragrance and quality such as tea. I am someone who would love to get affiliated to the Japanese way of tea pot making to enjoy tea at its best. So why don’t you go out there and relish the perfect tea made so perfect by the Japanese teapot and the Japanese culture.
