How to choose a teapot, how to choose a teapot

1. Oolong - round pot.

The ball-shaped oolong is best paired with a round pot because it provides enough space for the hemispherical tea leaves to stretch completely. If you love oolong tea, it is most practical to buy a standard can. Here's why:

After the round pot is filled with water, the round wall can allow the water to flow down the water in the pot, which can be more gentle and close to the water and tea leaves, which is conducive to tea.

2. Wuyi tea - flat pot.

The cord-shaped Wuyi tea is best brewed in a flat pot. The reason for this is that the sintering success rate (the so-called "yield") of this pot shape is low, and the flatter shape of the pot has a full sense of stability, which allows the cord-shaped tea leaves to sit calmly in the pot and release the mellow aroma with peace of mind. When pouring water, due to the short wall of the flat pot, the water flow is naturally buffered, and the space in the pot is narrow, so the tea leaves are more likely to soak in the water tepidly and gently spit out the essence.

As for the texture, it is better to use a satin clay jug. Because this pot can hide the dryness of the roasted Wuyi tea, and show the charm of the tea to the fullest. In contrast, if you use a purple clay pot to brew the same Wuyi tea, it is easy to force out the roasting and dry taste of Wuyi tea, leaving dry air under people's tongues.

3. Green tea - cover the cup (cover the bowl).

In fact, green tea should not be brewed in a pot, but should be left in boiling water for a while, and then filled with water into the cup. The tea brewed in this way is full of color and flavor: the green tea with a tender yellow and petite body rolled by the water is very beautiful, and it also has the fragrance of tea that fills the room.

At the entrance, the refreshing air fills the mouth, as if you can see the breath of water and sky.

4. Tieguanyin - a flat round vermilion pot.

For the lightly roasted Tieguanyin, which retains its fragrance, the best partner is none other than the vermilion pot with a high sintering temperature. The oblate and circular appearance makes it easy for the cord-shaped Anxi Tieguanyin tea to sit comfortably in the soup, without any pressure or crowding, and naturally releases the tea rhyme and floral fragrance of Tieguanyin more smoothly.

In addition, due to the kneading of the wooden fence Tieguanyin caused by the tight knot of the tea type, when choosing a pot to soak the wooden fence Tieguanyin, it should be wide and not narrow. Generally speaking, round pots are better than square pots, and high-level pots are better than flat pots.

5. Black tea - large porcelain pot.

Magenta tea can be used both hot and cold, and can be added with ingredients and flavors. Hot black tea can be brewed in a pot or boiled in a pot to bring out the flavor. To make black tea, you can't use Yixing pots, and don't use brick teapots, and often neglected families use large porcelain pots, but provide an opportunity for black tea to show its talents.

7. Pu'er tea - round "big belly" pot.

If you want to taste real Pu'er tea, you should choose a round "big belly" teapot. Because most of the pu'er (especially the aged ones) are made from large tea leaves, there must be enough space for it to stretch in order to open every inch of the veins of the leaf and let the water awaken the body that has fallen into silence.

The texture of the teapot.

The texture of the teapot is the best in the ceramic tea set, especially the purple clay pot in the ceramic tea set. The glass is centered, and the enamel is the secondary. Regardless of the texture, the workmanship should be meticulous.

When buying a teapot, you should first place the body of the pot on the palm of your hand, and gently touch the body of the pot with the lid, if it makes a sonorous and crisp sound, it means that the texture of the pot is good; If the sound is too low, it means that the thermal conductivity is not good; A high and high-pitched sound is heat transfer too fast.

The taste of the teapot.

When buying a new pot, you should pay attention to the smell in the pot, there is no big deal with a little tile smell, but it is best not to buy a pot with a fire, oil or dye smell.

The precision of the teapot.

The precision of the pot refers to the tightness of the lid and the body of the pot, the higher the tightness, the better, otherwise the heat and aroma are easy to dissipate. To determine the accuracy of winning, you can first inject half a pot of water, and then press the hole of the pot lid by hand on the front, pour the pot and pour water, if the pot mouth does not leak, it means that the tightness of the pot is good.

The water from the teapot.

The water out of the pot is related to the spout, so it is better to pour the pot and pour all the water, and the dripping water in the pot is not stored. If there is residual tea in the pot or the water is not smooth, it is best not to buy.

The center of gravity of the teapot.

Pay attention to the center of gravity, that is, to see if it is easy to lift the pot. In addition to the appropriate curvature and thickness of the handle, the focus point of the handle should also be located at (or close to) the center of gravity of the body when it is exposed to water. When buying a teapot, you can first fill most of the pot with water, then lift the pot horizontally, and pour the water slowly. If you have to hold it firmly, or even if you can't hold it steadily, it is not good.

How to pick a teapot. When picking a teapot, there are generally four criteria: small, shallow, Qi, and old. There is also a difference in the number of servings of the teapot. It is also loved for its famous landscapes and paintings and calligraphy.

1. The style of the teapot:

There are many styles of pots, there are small as oranges, big as oranges, there are also melon-shaped, persimmon-shaped, diamond-shaped, drum-shaped, plum-shaped, hexagonal, chestnut-shaped, etc., generally use the drum-shaped, take its upright and strong.

2. Pick the color of the teapot:

There are many kinds of colors of the pot, cinnabar, ancient iron, maroon, purple mud, stone yellow, azure, etc., there is also a kind of silver sand flashing on the body of the pot, the vermilion grains are abundant, commonly known as the sand extraction, the most precious.

3. Pick the size of the teapot:

But no matter what the style and color are, the most important thing is that it should be small and not big, and it should be shallow and not dark, because big is not enough. So use a large teapot, a medium teapot, a tea drum, a tea sieve, a tea stall ......Waiting for tea, even if it is a hundred yuan a tael of tea, it cannot be regarded as gongfu tea. As for the depth is related to the smell, the shallow can brew the taste, can retain the fragrance, and does not store water, so that the tea is not easy to become astringent.

The exquisiteness of the teapot:

In addition to large, small, deep and shallow, the most particular thing about the teapot is: Sanshan Qi, which is the most important criterion for evaluating the quality of the pot. Here's how:

Remove the lid of the teapot and place it on the table (preferably on a very flat glass), if the spout, spout, and handle of the teapot are flat, it is all three mountains. This is related to the level and quality of the pot, so it is the most particular. Old, mainly depends on the amount of tea residue accumulated in the pot, which has been said earlier.

Of course, there are many old and important words, such as what dynasty produced it, how ancient it is, what famous craftsmen have made it, what famous artists have tasted it, and so on. But that's not a question of using a regular teapot, it's a matter of playing with antiques.

What exactly is the quality of a good pot? Is a pot from a famous artist a good pot? Of course, the famous artist himself has deep artistic attainments, and his works have a certain level, although not every pot is good, but at least it is not as bad as **.

The merits of a pot, in addition to personal subjective preference as the starting point, can probably be judged from the following aspects.

First, the shape and structure of the pot.

The completion of a pot needs to be combined by multiple parts, whether the combination is ideal, in line with the physical properties, is the basic element of judging the quality of the pot, the following is the teapot three elements of the spout, the handle, the body of the three parts of the combination to describe.

1) Three points in a straight line.

The spout, handle, and button of the pot must be in a straight line, in other words, the three points must be straight, except for a few special shapes.

2) Symmetrical proportions.

The proportions of each part should be evenly proportioned, and at the same time, it should show a sense of space.

3) The water flow is smooth and the grip is light.

The spout must flow smoothly, and when holding the handle, the grip should be light and effortless.

4) One-piece molding.

The spout and the body, and the connection between the handle and the body, should be handled naturally, without any flaws hitting the skin, as if it was formed in one piece.

Second, the appearance of the pot.

The appearance of a teapot can be considered in many ways.

1) Beautiful.

In recent years, there have been a variety of teapots on the market, ranging from tall or short, round or flat, geometric shapes or fruit shapes. However, everyone has their own aesthetic point of view, so there is no standard for what you want to be.

2) Color.

According to connoisseurs, the color of the teapot is better to be smooth, and a good pot has a smooth feeling of its earthy color, which is indeed very charming.

3) Keep your center of gravity steady.

Whether it feels comfortable to lift the teapot with your hands, whether the center of gravity is just right, depends on whether the design of the body and handle of the pot is accurate. When buying a new pot, you may wish to ask the seller to fill the pot with about 3 4 water in the pot. Lift the teapot with your hands and pour water slowly, if it feels comfortable, it means that the pot has a moderate center of gravity and is stable, and it is a good pot.

If the pot needs to be firmly held to stabilize it, it means that the center of gravity of the pot is not in the right position. In addition to the center of gravity to be stable, the left and right sides also need to be evenly proportioned, and when grabbing the lid, the spout should be flat and round.

4) The mold is urgent, long and round.

At the same time, when pouring pot water, if you can make no dripping water in the pot, it means that it is a good pot.

5) The lid of the pot and the body of the pot are tightly matched.

The tighter the lid and the body, the less the tea aroma will be lost, and the teapot with the lid and the body closely matched is a good pot. The test method of the tightness of the lid and the body of the pot is that the teapot is filled with water about 1 2 3 4, and the air hole is covered with the index finger tightly, and the pot water is poured to see. Also, press the spout of the teapot with your index finger and turn the body upside down, so that the lid will not fall off if it is tight enough.

1. Aesthetics: The teapot is used by yourself, so in terms of choosing the shape and appearance of the teapot. As long as you choose according to your personal preferences and personal feelings, the most important thing is that you are comfortable and satisfied.

2. Texture: The pot used to make tea is generally sand-based, because the sand utensils are absorbent and opaque, the appearance is more friendly than porcelain, and the withdrawal on it also has a unique charm, so the sand pot is generally more popular than the porcelain pot. As for the texture of the teapot, it is mainly based on the strong fetal bone and moist color.

3. Pot flavor: When buying a new pot, you should smell the smell of the pot, some of the new pot may have a slight tile smell, which can also be used, but if there is a fire smell or other miscellaneous smells, such as oil or artificial coloring taste, it is not enough to take.

4. Precision: The precision of the pot refers to the degree of tightness between the lid and the body of the pot, and the higher the tightness, the better, otherwise the fragrance of the tea will be scattered.

The above is an introduction to how to choose a teapot in rent, I hope it will help you.

The classification of purple sand is divided into purple mud, red mud, and mud from the color. The following steps should be followed to pick an entry-level purple clay pot:

1. The quality of the mud is mainly due to the above characteristics of the body, after soaking, the grain texture is round, full, and the sand is rich. The double pores can ensure the air permeability of purple sand ware and the thermal insulation properties of relative nuclear dissipation.

2. The typical structure of purple mud ore can be seen from the soapy green mud at the bottom of the half pot, and the particles, pores, and texture of the mud after soaking and raising fully demonstrate the original beauty of the purple sand material.

3. The mud should be rich in texture, modest in color, not ostentatious, and should be subtle and introverted.

The color of non-Yixing purple sand is single.

1. Rigidity and lack of change.

2. Looking at the appearance, in addition to its material, the purple sand is also very important in terms of category, quality and character, and the shape of the purple sand pot is the most abundant among all kinds of utensils in the world. How to evaluate these changeable shapes is also a matter of opinion. As a category of artworks, purple sand can meet the different psychological needs of collectors, and the generous, delicate and ancient purple sand pots have their own merits.

However, collectors mostly think that the ancient clumsiness is the best, followed by the atmosphere and beauty.

3. Touch the texture, pick up a purple clay pot, in addition to viewing and reviewing, you can touch it with your hands, and if necessary, you can stick the pot on your face. Because Yixing purple sand soil contains a considerable proportion of sand, it feels comfortable to the touch and feels very warm when in contact with the skin. The pot made of non-Yixing purple sand clay looks smooth, but in essence, it feels astringent in the hand.
