secondly, the capacity of the teapot. The choice of capacity mainly depends on the number of people enjoying tea at the same time. Take Tieguanyin as an example, the water filling capacity of a 18-2ml pot can be used by 2-3 people, or 4 people. When five or more people often sit together, it is best to prepare a large product of more than 3ml.
thirdly, don't buy pots with too bright colors. There are five kinds of raw purple sand ore colors (another one is more than 1 kinds, and here we still refer to it as "five-colored soil"). After blending, there can be as many as dozens of colors, plus the color changes brought about by firing at different kiln temperatures, as well as the incredible "kiln change", there are only a few hundred colors of purple sand pots in front of us. However, we can tell you responsibly that even the most colorful vermilion in purple clay, after being fired at a high temperature of 128 degrees, is a simple and deep red color, not the brilliant red of glazed porcelain. No matter what kind of teapot presents a bright color for you, it must be doped with other chemical components. For example, the bright green teapot adds "cobalt" to the mud, which will make the purple sand show a bright green after high temperature. And this kind of mud will be made into flowers in the shape of plants and melons, such as watermelon pots. Many additives can not be completely decomposed and volatilized at high temperature, and the remaining parts will bring great or small harm to your body.
finally, take a look at the practicality of the pot you selected. Zisha pots can be divided into light goods and flower goods. Light goods refer to pots with no excessive decoration on the surface of the pot body, and some are simply shaped on the pot knob. Flower goods refer to pictographic pots made on the basis of images of plants and animals in nature. They have a variety of designs and excellent works, which are extremely beautiful and elegant as indoor furnishings. Because its detailed parts are as thin as hair and as thin as silk paper, it is not practical. When choosing light goods as practical tea-making tools, we should pay attention to: 1. Check whether there are any small cracks in the pot body; 2, whether the water is smooth; 3, pot handle, pot twist is easy to hold; 4. At what angle is the lid easy to fall off when the water comes out, and the lid of a well-designed teapot will not fall off when the pot body is tilted 8 degrees vertically. If you have a list of the shapes of a pot, and there are no problems in the above aspects, you can take it home to accompany your life.
The teapot should be carefully maintained during use. Besides being careful not to bump, you should always pour the teapot with tea. Keep the inside and outside of the teapot clean, and if you have time, you can gently wipe it with cotton cloth, so that your teapot will soon appear the color of pearls and jade!
