About Paire de tasses Yunomi Banko-Yaki - Masaki Tachi - 140 ml

Cette paire de yunomi a été faite par Masaki Tachi, l'un des potiers Banko-Yaki les plus accomplis techniquement aujourd'hui. Connu pour son travail de la main discipliné et son intensité calme, Tachi équilibre retenue, texture et fonction à un très haut niveau.

Chaque tasse porte son traitement de surface gravé caractéristique, construit par des incisions répétées et maîtrisées dans l'argile avant la cuisson. Il en résulte un rythme tactile en couches, délibéré plutôt que décoratif, des bandes de texture qui accrochent la lumière différemment sous chaque angle. La surface reste mate et minérale, mettant en valeur le caractère naturel de l'argile Banko plutôt que la glaçure.

Avec environ 140 ml, ces yunomi ont la taille idéale pour le thé vert japonais de qualité, l'oolong ou les infusions courtes où la température et la texture en bouche comptent. Le bord légèrement évasé et le pied équilibré leur donnent une bonne assise en main, et l'intérieur reste lisse. Cuite dans des fours Banko traditionnels, la couleur se développe naturellement dans l'atmosphère du four, en tons violets profonds aux douces variations d'une pièce à l'autre.

Teaware Care

Japanese teaware is made to be used and enjoyed. With simple, consistent care, your kyusu, shiboridashi, hōhin, yunomi, and matcha ware can age beautifully over many years.

In most cases, the best approach is also the simplest: clean soon after use, use warm water, and allow every piece to dry completely before storing.

Everyday Care

After each tea session, remove the leaves and rinse your teaware as soon as possible. Letting wet leaves or tea sit for too long can lead to odors, staining, and moisture problems, especially in unglazed clay or more porous glazed wares.

For routine cleaning, warm water and a gentle hand rinse are usually enough.

Once rinsed, allow the piece to dry fully before storing it. This matters most for kyusu, shiboridashi, hōhin, and porous chawan, where moisture can linger in spouts, lids, filters, and clay bodies. Wiping with a clean cloth is fine, but air-drying is still important, especially for more absorbent wares.

What to Avoid

Avoid soap, bleach, harsh cleaners, and abrasive scrubbers on most handmade teaware.

This is especially important for unglazed interiors and porous glazes, which can absorb residues and affect the character of future brews. Dishwashers are also best avoided for most handcrafted teaware, as heat, detergents, and vibration can be hard on delicate or handmade pieces.

Unglazed Clay

Unglazed clay teapots and brewing vessels should generally be cleaned with water only. These clays can interact subtly with water and tea, and they may absorb soap or lingering aromas.

Tea stains in unglazed kyusu are not necessarily a problem. A gentle patina is often a natural part of regular use and can become part of the piece’s character over time.

Porous Glazes

More porous glazed wares need slightly more attention. Pieces with porous glazes can absorb moisture and slowly develop character through use.

Because of that porosity, these wares should be rinsed promptly after use and dried thoroughly. Soap is best avoided, since it can seep into the clay or glaze.

Kyusu Tips

Cleaning all of the leaves out of a kyusu can sometimes be difficult, especially with narrow openings or built-in filters.

A useful method is to fill the pot with water, swirl it gently to loosen the leaves, and pour them out. If small leaves cling to the filter, use a soft brush such as an old toothbrush very gently, then rinse again through the spout to ensure it is clear.

Storage

Store teaware only when completely dry. Trapped moisture can lead to mold or stale smells. For more absorbent pieces, give them extra air-drying time before putting them away in cupboards or boxes.
