The Friday Roundup is a weekly collection of five of my favorite blog posts from around the world. It’s my little way of getting the word out about all of my favorite tea blogs. Is there someone I’m missing? Let me know about it in the comments below!

Ricardo from My Japanese Green Tea is my go-to source for all things Japan. This week he shared an in-depth profile of Kobori Enshu, an influential tea master from the Edo period. It certainly sounds like he led an interesting life.

Anna from The Tea Squirrel posed an interesting question. Do you or should you wash your teaware? I loved that she broke this topic down by the different materials. Unglazed clay is totally different than stainless steel or other non-porous materials.
Matcha Monday Masterclasses | An Interview With Ian Chun of Yunomi Tea
