This is a tenmoku glaze tea cup from Sekiun Kiln.

This tea cup has a tenmoku glaze that shines in green, blue, and purple depending on the angle of the light. The ingredients in the black glaze, which contain a lot of iron, flow down during firing, creating a beautiful grain pattern.


The famous tenmoku glaze tea bowls were made in the Jian kilns and Cizhou kilns during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) in China. Many tea bowls with black glaze were produced for matcha, which was popular in China at the time, and among these, Tenmoku tea bowls were rare. The name Tenmoku comes from the fact that the tea bowl used by Japanese Zen monks who studied abroad on Mt. Tenmoku in China was called "Tenmoku Chawan."


This tea cup is made using a potter's wheel to scrape the surface and shape it. The scratch marks on the bottom are beautiful. Only the bottom is unglazed, and the feel of the clay feels good in your hand.

The pattern of the Tenmoku cannot be controlled, and no two vessels are alike. This is a gem of a tea cup where you can enjoy the randomness of ceramics.

FAQ

Which type of of tea can I brew with the teapot?

It can be used for any type of tea. However, unglazed pottery is more likely to absorb the flavor of the tea leaves. By using different tea utensils for each type of tea, you can enjoy the flavor of the tea to the fullest.

For example, in the case of Japanese tea, sencha, fukamushicha, genmaicha, and gyokuro are all in the same family, but since hojicha has a strong roasted aroma, we recommend using a different tea utensil.

However, glazed pottery or porcelain tea utensils do not absorb the flavor of the tea leaves, so they are suitable for brewing various types of tea.

How do you wash a teapot?

Please wash the teapot with water, without using detergent. Ceramic teapots easily absorb detergent ingredients, which can affect the flavor of the tea.

Tea leaves remaining in the teapot are the main cause of tea stains. After brewing tea, we recommend removing the tea leaves once they have cooled and rinsing them with water.

Moisture remaining in the teapot can cause mold. Turning the teapot upside down will help it dry faster.

We do not recommend washing it in the dishwasher. Please wash by hand.

Can I remove tea stains from a teapot?

Here's how to remove tea stains.

1. In a bowl or pot, mix 24g of baking soda with 1 liter of water at 30-40°C.

*Do not use aluminum or Teflon-coated pots as they will react with baking soda.

2. Leave the teapot in the water mentioned in step 1 for 30-60 minutes.

3. Wipe off the tea stains with a soft sponge or cotton swab. Do not use hard sponges or brushes.

4. Rinse the teapot with water.

5. Thoroughly dry the teapot.

*Baking soda water may irritate your hands, so wear rubber gloves.
