I'm going to be Honest, This video came up on auto play while I was in the bathroom...and when I got back I watched the video all the way through XD
Thank you for staying true and realistic, as beginner tea head im soo overwhelmed with all the expensive teaware,and money here is not even a biggest issue ,for me im asking myself question,is my palet even going to notice the difference in test,am i experience enough to get all the benefits out of that tool? Probably no,i thing beginner is better off spending money on all the tea he can and test them in pure form,than play with the kettles.
I was lucky enough to find an antique tetsubin. An iwachu nanbu with arare pattern. Beautiful and I can use it on my stove. 😊
Nice! Great fortune.
Thank you so much for sharing hand made clay, tetsubin, and ginbin and actually speaking on them!
The kettle is the father of tea. Always learn something new. Thank you all in Miao Li.
Technically a teapot is the "father of tea," according to Chinese proverbs, not the kettle, but they are related so same same :)
And Fire is the teacher....
In Ukrainian it’s one word for kettle and teapot 🙄
@@yuliyamaslyn Nice!
@@yuliyamaslyn Попалили)))
I’m stoked to hear about the new kettle! Can’t wait to get one. Thanks so much for the deep dive into the intricacies of kettles. I think you should produce a jar, like the ones I see behind Wu De. You can’t find clay jars like that anywhere in the west.
We have thought about it. They are hard to ship but maybe we can do it!
@@globalteahut I have the jar from 2016 (I think) with the Dong Ding. I love that jar. It’s a great size. Something like that would be cool. Maybe a smaller version as well. I Also have the Liu Bao jar, which I also love, but the simplicity of the smooth purple clay is probably best if you ever offered one. My opinion anyway 😁
I would take everything on that table!
I had never heard of gimbin. . . thank you for mentioning that name. I'm really interested in knowing about 999 silver kettles for daily day long use
Very interesting, was really wanting to hear more about the new kettles. Thank you for doing this. Going to watch until the end before I ask my question about silver. I'm assuming with the rocks and iron etc that it is totally safe and healthy to be using this throughout the day everyday... we not only have tea out of our kettles but hot water throughout the day except for the heat of summer.
We have some very exciting silver news coming in a follow up video :)
@@globalteahut Whaaaat!? Yes!!!! Awesome!
@@globalteahut When’s the silver video coming out
@@dylanzenskateboarding very soon!
I'd really be interested in knowing if you were willing to spend twice as much for the kettle what one could gain. I'll definitely want to get both of the kettles, so glad to hear there is a gong fu size one
Edit : I see you address that with Peter's kettle. Handmade and wood fired is definitely nice, but that's a given of cost increase. I'm more interested in your experience and opinion as a tea maker on the quality of material and water/experience
QUality of material matters a lot. The maker's spirit does to us as well. There is also the "joy" factor, meaning the more you love it, the more you use and the more you use it the better you get at tea preparation....
Could you maybe elaborate more on electric
We have some fire videos and also an issue of the magazine devoted to this, but it would be good to return to this in a video. Good idea!
Great! Will the new gongfu pot be avaialable in cloudstone? And how about wrapping for the handle on it?
I'm also curious he said all new tea ware will be cloudstone.
Unfortunately no cloudstone for the gongfu. Shen could wrap the handle as well...
@@globalteahut Is it possible that it will be available in the future?
@@martinodman4068 Unlikely. There are some logistical barriers to this.
@@globalteahut I see. Still quite likely that I'll get one
What are your thoughts on Japanese silver kettles?
36:10 :)
Hi. I am looking for pure healthy clay kettle to boil water please that holds 32 oz or one litter. Please let me know if you have one? Thank you very much.
we have bigger and smaller gongfu kettles on our website. Maybe one would work for you. There is a kettle section there.
What kind of clay are in the Cloudstone Kettle What were your thoughts on the clay in the kettle
It is a blended clay, using 2 clays several volcanic minerals and iron. It makes very nice water, better than our kettles before for sure. We will eventually switch all our teaware to Cloudstone.
@@globalteahut it is organic safe? Did you pick the volcanic minerals and Iron specifically? Through study?
@@dylanzenskateboarding Yes, safe. We did lots of trial and error and some study/discussion with potters :)
@@globalteahut Yes they’re beautiful I really like the effect of mine I think it is very different than anything I have experienced
did lu yu used metal kettle or clay one?
Lu Yu would have used a cauldron to boil tea, not a kettle. His cauldron was metal. In the Cha Jing he says he prefers silver.
@@globalteahut Thank you Master Wu De for sharing ! I was wondering about this, because I read in TCM that herbs shouldn't be boiled in a metal container due to the reactions it cause.
@@timothyjadet There is a truth in that worth exploring. Metal brings all Five Elements to bear and influences tea and other herbs energetically and physically in terms of flavor/aroma. Lots to experiment with!
P.S. In our experiments, the best clays for tea also have a high metal content. Our ceramic kettles are very high in iron, as is Yixing, which has a five-hundred-year marriage with tea...
@@globalteahut I see, Master. Thank you for sharing. I feel humbled to learn from you , for learning about tea in this western dominated world is really hard. I tried to research about tea and silver but haven't found anything yet. Science journals says silver reacts natural to water. What does your experiences say about silver and tea?
