Gyokuko Black Tokoname-yaki Mini Yuzamashi - Japanese Water Cooler

The Yuzamashi also known as a water cooler is a tea service accessory to adjust the water temperature. If you enjoy high-quality Japanese green tea, the Yuzamashi is very important. This size is best used for a single tasting of Gyokuro.

When brewing Sencha or Genmaicha, pour boiled water into the Yuzamashi, then as it cools down pour the water into the Kyusu (teapot). By doing this, the water will become the ideal temperature for brewing Sencha or Genmaicha, 176F (80C).

When brewing Gyokuro, pour boiled water into the Yyunomi (teacup), then pour the water into the Yuzamashi. Finally, pour the water into the Kyusu. The water will become the ideal temperature for brewing Gyokuro, 158F (70C).
