Tea culture has a long and rich history, and ancient literati and literati loved tea more. It gradually flowed from literati to the public, so drinking tea resonated with people from all walks of life.
Li Yu, a Ming Dynasty scholar, said, “When it comes to pottery, it is appropriate to use a suitable teapot.”. The Yixing purple clay teapot is the best tea drinking tool, far from the hometown of Dingshu Town. You can also have a purple clay teapot at the homes of teapot enthusiasts across the country, for collection, tea drinking, or viewing.
Why do you prefer a purple clay teapot when drinking tea?
1.The most important thing in tea tasting is the aroma of tea.
The advantage of brewing tea in a purple clay teapot is that it does not take away the tea aroma, retains the tea aroma to the greatest extent, and makes the tea more mellow.
Moreover, it is precisely the double pore structure of the purple clay teapot that facilitates the formation of a layer of tea rust after long-term brewing of tea. Even without using tea leaves, pouring plain water still exudes a strong tea aroma.
2.The insulation performance of the purple clay pot is good
The purple clay pot clay has many pores, which leads to poor thermal conductivity of heat in vacuum, so the insulation effect is better than other tea vessels.
3.The purple clay pot has excellent heating performance and can withstand ultra-high temperatures during the firing process
Therefore, pouring hot water into the tea leaves during the drinking process does not harm, making the tea leaves more complete and quickly emit a clear fragrance.
4.After long-term brewing of tea, the purple clay pot will retain a certain amount of tea acidity inside
5.This can inhibit the growth rate of bacteria, so people in Yixing say they will use purple clay teapots to brew tea “overnight without spoilage.”.
Another important point is that during the long-term process of brewing and playing with purple clay teapots, the body of the teapot will undergo certain color or texture changes, giving people a different kind of fun, and also adding to its collection and viewing value.
Drinking tea is a process of cultivating one’s character, and one cannot be impatient or impatient. If treated calmly and properly, a purple clay teapot can also bring an improvement in one’s mood.
