How to use Koshi ware tea utensils
-Some Koushi ware pieces have crazing on the surface (a condition in which fine cracks appear in the ceramic glaze caused by factors such as the difference in expansion rates between the base and glaze).
For matcha tea bowls, rinse with cold or lukewarm water before use to ensure the cracks are sufficiently moistened.
When you use it for the first time, you may hear a crackling sound, but this is the sound of the crazing, and there is no change in the vessel itself, so you can continue to use it.
・Koushi ware is fired at low heat (about 800 degrees).
- When washing, using hard objects (such as a scrubbing brush, metal scrubbing brush, or nylon scrubbing brush) may scratch the surface, so please use a soft object (such as a cotton cloth).
・Please note that using bleaching chemicals or detergents may cause discoloration.
・Koushi ware may be sensitive to acid.
