How to choose a teapot? What is the best tea for teapot?

In fact, drinking tea is a very complicated matter, because drinking tea is very particular, first, the variety of tea, second, the time to make tea, third, the equipment to make tea, and fourth, the way to make tea. Most people use glasses to make tea, which is also the most common appliance. If you want to say the best thing about making tea, you have to talk about the teapot. The quality of teapot is uneven, so you must be careful when buying teapot utensils, because a good teapot will make tea more fragrant, so how to buy teapot? What is the best tea for teapot?

1, how to choose a teapot

(1) 3. 1 level

Take off the lid of the teapot and put it upside down on the table. The spout, spout and handle are on the same horizontal line, which is a good teapot. I once saw an "expert" teaching experience on TV. Choose a teapot according to this standard, and the master can't underestimate you.

(2) Three points are on a straight line.

Put the teapot flat on the table, and the water drops on the spout, handle and lid must be in a straight line.

(3) mouth does not salivate

When pouring tea, tea is not allowed to flow out along the spout, but if it is too extreme, it will be a bit dead. Because of the shape of many pots, it is impossible for the spout not to drool. To sum up, don't make a move just because your mouth is watering. In that case, you'll have to switch to being a teapot master.

(4) mouth does not salivate

It means that when pouring tea, the tea soup cannot flow out of the spout. In fact, many teapots can't do this. Those who meet this standard don't mean a good pot, and a little drooling doesn't mean a bad pot. This is not only related to personal habits, but also to different pot types.

(5) The cover is tight and seamless

Some friends are concerned about the gap between the teapot mouth and the teapot mouth. When choosing a teapot, they always shake the lid from side to side. If the shaking distance is a little larger, they will immediately deny the value of the teapot. I always hope that the lid of the teapot will not move. If there is no gap between spout and spout, do you think it will work? As long as there is a little tea in the pot mouth, the lid won't close, and it's annoying to take it off.

(6) Waterproof

It is the pursuit of many pot friends to control the outflow and stop of tea soup by pressing the vent hole. However, in actual use, few people control the tea soup by pressing the vent hole, which is quite uncomfortable to use, and quite a few pots can't press the vent hole, such as the stone ladle.

(7) Handmade teapots are better than semi-handmade teapots.

All-hand and semi-hand are manual processes, but all-hand production is a great test of the author's skill. In fact, the semi-handmade teapot is also constantly improving, which can't be explained in a few words.

2. What kind of tea is good for the teapot?

(1) Teapots are generally used for making tea with high audio frequency and are suitable for making tea with strong aroma, such as green tea; For those with a slightly lower pot sound, oolong tea, Tieguanyin tea and other heavy-tasting teas are better.

(2) The flat teapot with a capacity of less than 200ml is most suitable for drinking Tieguanyin, because the teapot can reach a very high temperature in an instant, just meeting the brewing requirements of Tieguanyin.

(3) Pu 'er tea and black tea need a long heat preservation time, and it is best to drink Pu 'er tea and black tea in a deep and narrow teapot of about 250ml.

(4) A wide-mouthed teapot of about 250 ml is a good choice for making green tea, because green tea is not suitable for long-term high-temperature soaking, and it needs tea sets to dissipate heat as soon as possible.

3. Advantages of making tea with teapot

(1) There are trace elements needed by human body in the teapot. Purple sand is a kind of clayey siltstone, which contains many minerals, acid resistance, alkali resistance and iron. It contains hydromica, kaolin, Yingshi, mica, iron and other components. Its main chemical components include iron oxide, silicon oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, manganese oxide, potassium oxide and sodium oxide. It is rich in trace elements needed by human body and does not contain any harmful metal substances. At the same time, the special double-hole structure of purple sand can release the fragrance of tea more than any other tea set. The teapot will also release trace minerals such as iron, calcium and sodium needed by the human body when making tea at high temperature, which will be absorbed by the human body through tea leaves.

(2) Teapots can improve human health. First of all, the teapot is a tea set for making tea. When making tea, the temperature of water is the most important. Generally, 90-100 degree water will better leach out the beneficial components in tea, so the surface temperature of teapot reaches 50 -80 degrees, which is suitable for opening blood vessels and achieving the functions of relaxing meridians and promoting blood circulation. In addition, there are many uneven gravel on the surface of the teapot, which is rubbed by hand, just like the effect of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is better than other rubbing hands (jade, walnuts, etc.). ). The main component of purple sand in Yixing teapot is iron oxide. Because of the existence of trace elements such as MnO2 _ 2, Cr _ 2O _ 3 and CaO, it not only makes purple mud the main component, but also provides various trace elements needed by human body while making tea, which is beneficial to health. The teapot has good plasticity and ductility. Coupled with the special and precise pot-making technology, the finished teapot has a tight lid and few gaps, which reduces the flow of air containing mold to the pipe head in the teapot, relatively prolongs the deterioration time of tea soup, and is beneficial to human health.

4. There are several types of teapots.

There are basically three shapes of teapot: geometric, natural and ribbed.

Geometric type, commonly known as light goods, the design and production of light goods is the best identification skill. Light goods refer to different body parts in the whole modeling. The requirement is that every working procedure should have bones and flesh, and the flesh-and-blood hall should be uniform, with its own characteristics, personality and norms. These clear requirements depend on simple lines and rich contents for people to examine their skills, and aesthetic humor varies from person to person, such as traditional spherical pots and bamboo.

Natural tea sets directly simulate natural objects or utensils as the basic form of modeling, which is called "flower goods" in jargon. There are two ways to simulate the objective image in this kind of works: one is to directly transform the typical object into the shape of a pot, such as pumpkin pot, persimmon flat pot, plum pot and so on; The other is geometric, in which there are typical images, such as evergreen pot, spring pot, plum pot and bamboo pot. Attached by carving or by carving in the proper position of the pot body.

Rib pattern is a kind of pot pattern created by purple sand artists in long-term production practice. There are three kinds of intercostal treatment: the first is the pattern, the second is the pot with chrysanthemum or melon pattern, and the third is the second disorder with concave patterns between ribs.
