Although the original cast iron tea pots appeared in China sometime [throughout] the 13th or 14th centuries, it did not take [lengthy] for the Japanese folks to adopt it for their use in brewing sencha, or loose tea leaves as opposed to tea that had been crushed into a powdered form. Presented to Japan by the Chinese around four hundred years ago, sencha was also considered a medicinal herb which cured numerous physical and psychological ailments. The well-educated members of Japanese society drank sencha to show their resentment against chanoyu, a incredibly formal, ceremonial tea preparation by the ruling class who utilized matcha, or powdered green tea leaves rather than sencha.

Never wash your tea pot with scratchy scouring pads or use [some thing] other than a extremely mild dish detergent. Most of the time you may possibly get by with just rinsing the tea pot with cold water and gently toweling it off. Japanese tradition claims that the all-natural mineral coating which accumulates from brewing tea is beneficial for one’s health. Also, [do not] let oil or salt lay on the surface of the tea pot as this could damage the surface and [trigger]
