山形鐵器 日本山形縣製鐵茶壼來到香茶房了 Yamagata Imono Arrived

相信唔少香港人都認識 日本 #南部鐵器 茶壼,煲靚水,沖靚茶都係靠佢。但其實日本仲有另一款鑄鐵造茶壼 #山形鐵器,都係手工精製,大概响香港就較鮮為人知。
山形鐵器最大的特色係比 南部鐵器 輕身得多,原因係製作山形鐵器的模具﹙mold﹚只用一次,不會重覆使用,所以匠人製作鐵器時可以造得較薄身。 南部鐵器的模具通常會重覆使用多次,所以茶壼造得較厚身,所以加入水煲滾時鐵器會很重。
山形鐵器的另一特色是它的表面會塗上一層天然樹漆,更好保養鐵器。
用鐵器煮水的好處,可以令水質更滑和更甜。另外,煮好的水會含更豐富鐵質 。
老闆試用山形鐵器來煮水泡茶,佢覺得用鐵壼水來泡日本綠茶及普洱茶最適合~~
“南部鉄瓶” is very famous for Japanese iron kettle .
But there are other beautiful iron kettles in Japan.
“山形鋳物” is also very famous for high quality iron kettle.

Yamagata Iron Kettle is significantly lighter than Nanbu one.
Because the mold is only 1time use so the craftsman could make the body thinner .
(Nanbu one usually made with reusable mold so needed to be thicker)
The surface of the kettle is coated with natural lacquer .

Iron kettle is famous for improving water quality and good for health as you can take iron from the water.
As I tried the water with many kinds of tea, it should be very suitable with green tea and Puer tea.
