Around New Year I've purchased two more kyusu-style teapots, so it's time to update info on my teaware.

For the beginning, at this point it is more about aesthetics already than being strictly functional with a particular piece of teaware. Nevertheless, kyusu are still quite versatile vessels even if they most suited for Japanese green teas.

First pot was bought via my friends (many thanks to them for that) during their recent visit to Berlin and I've received it yesterday. It's relatively cheap, being only 49 euros, but it's of a quality better than my previous (which was about x3 more expensive). It has traditional shape, remarkable balance (so you could place it standing on its handle) and minimalistic but beautiful look. So, I'm pleased with it already.

Only one minor thin - stainless steel filter, which gives away it's not fully handcrafted. For that I'd have next one teapot, so stay tuned!
