Porcelæn Hohin Tekande

The porcelain is so thin and even that the hohin heats up evenly, which really brings out that deep umami and thick mouthfeel in my gyokuro. I poured a small cup and the jade color was stunning, exactly as promised. It's quickly become my go-to for quiet afternoon sessions.

The porcelain is so smooth and dense it feels like a treasure in the hand, and the pour is mesmerizingly steady. I've been brewing gyokuro daily since it arrived, and the jade color in the cup is exactly as promised.

The spout pours with such a clean, controlled stream that I can finally brew gyokuro without any drips down the side. The porcelain keeps the temperature steady, and the umami in the first steep is noticeably rounder than my old clay pot.
