People who pay attention to drinking tea mostly use Yixing teapot, the volume is generally 200 cc ~ 800 cc. When making tea, select the tea leaves, pour them into the teapot, and then brew them with boiling water. Gently scrape off the foam from the spout with the lid of the teapot, and pour the tea soup in the teapot into a fair cup with a filter tea ware. It's called washing tea. Then pour the tea soup in the fair cup into the fragrant cup and the mouth cup respectively, and then pour the tea soup on the teapot, which is called "tea soup pot". Then we began to make tea, soak in a cup and drink a cup, so that everyone could truly appreciate the fragrant tea aroma of teapot tea and the wonderful throat-moistening sweetness. Making tea with Yixing teapot can make the pot more interesting. What kind of tea, what kind of pot to take, how to use and raise the pot to make tea, there are some scientific methods and skills to raise the pot.
The pot for making tea is full of heat, and the tea soup poured on the pot body is easily evaporated by the pot heat and absorbed by the surface of the pot body. In addition, it is inevitable that the new pot will be a little rustic when used for the first time. Because of the double pore structure of the teapot wall, the teapot body is breathable and airtight, which is easy to absorb tea juice, remove the earthy smell and leave a strong tea fragrance. There are often traces of tea leaves on the surface of the pot, so it is necessary to brush the surface of the pot frequently with a pot brush or a soft toothbrush to keep it clean. This daily rubbing makes the surface of the pot dull and brighter with use. Some people call it "patina" (patina preservation), which can't be washed off at high temperature and high pressure, showing elegant taste. In order to make the casserole glow faster, someone wiped it on the pot with an oiler's hand and an oilcloth. This kind of light is called "monk light". If you wash it with detergent, the light will fade immediately, revealing a dirty scar, which is very unsightly. "Yang Xianming Lu Tao" says: "Take dirty dyed sleeves and rub them, for fear of wiping them. I don't know if the handwriting is not clean, so I have to fill in the old ones. " So don't let the pot be stained with oil and dirt. Keep the pot clean to keep it well.
Another way to raise a pot is to wet the pot body with tea residue when cleaning the teapot and tea set every morning. On the one hand, it can wipe off the traces of tea dirt and tea residue on the pot body, and on the other hand, it can polish the pot body with wet tea leaves.
There is also a method of raising pots: grinding tiles (black soil tiles in the south of the Yangtze River) into very fine powder and wrapping them with six layers of gauze into a cloth ball the size of loquat. When the tea soup is poured on the pot body, soak the gauze ball in the tea soup and gently rub it to make the pot body clean and smooth. In today's scientific development, fine abrasive powder can be used instead of ceramic tile powder to make yarn balls, which can also achieve ideal results.
Some people simply boil pots in tea, and some people have successfully developed a pot-raising machine to raise pots. Although these have other functions, they always feel less soft and beautiful than the accumulated tea juice.
After a long period of cultivation and cultivation, Yixing Zisha Pot has developed into a round, moist, square and thick, hidden pearl, full body, and luxurious fog, as if lifting the mysterious veil and seeing the true content of perfect texture. Some people think that "teapot is easy to get dirty when making tea, and there are few fans". Today, I saw people in Taiwan Province Province soaking tea in clay pots in Taiwan Province Province. The protruding clay pots, like the color of copper and the light of jade, make them clang, and the tigers roar in Jin Hu, which is unique, simple and lovely.
The "four-sided bamboo pot" decorated with carvings adopts the "tea-soup pot-raising method", which can not only cultivate the lovely texture of purple mud, but also gain unexpected results: the color change of mud and the color of sunlight at first glance set off the thin bamboo leaves attached to the pot surface, such as the dynamic feeling of breeze blowing; The surface of the square pot is convex like a mirror, which is really a stunt and a pleasing instrument. Another is a black teapot made in reducing flame, which uses "tea soup to raise the pot". The pot body is blue-black, black without ink, and the juice is bright, which is a magnificent kiln change, such as Chen Mingting in Zhong Ding, dignified and generous. Red clay pots are as fat as southern red beans, floating with elites. Some ancient teapots were unkempt, while others were slightly flawed. After cleaning up, sorting out and cultivating, the rule of "tea soup carries teapot" was restored to the Spring Festival, which was truly called "respecting the ancient and pushing forward the new" and created a miracle. If you want to continue to use old pots and ancient pots, you must not put them on the shelf and lose their luster. Moreover, even if people use and support tea, they can heal themselves without seeping tea. Old pots and ancient pots decorated with paintings and pottery carvings have been cultivated, and the brushwork and knife method on them have strengthened the three-dimensional sense, making them more bookish and more lovely. Some old pots and ancient pots, although not made by everyone, are very cute, which reminds me of Man Gong Yun: "You don't have to be the home of poetry and painting, but you can see the beauty of nature." This is the artistic view of truly appreciating art, which gives you all kinds of memorable flavors from the classics and makes you fondle it. This is also the case. If you are too rigid in statutes, you will inevitably feel stubborn, mechanical and dull, and lack the interest in handicrafts. Pottery is not only a rigorous production and modeling process, but also an art of earth curtain and fire. If there is a slight contrast between soil and fire, there are bound to be some defects. As long as it is not obvious, the defect should not exceed a certain standard. Although it is slightly inferior in value compared with more perfect works, this rare, special and unusual artistic appreciation has its own unique value. Yaobian is a treasure, so it is not necessary to pay too much attention to these nuances and think it is insufficient. Tao, a famous scholar in Yang Xian, said: "Wu Shuo' a trickling man can buy a handsome bone, and Sun Bin can do enough to show that a broken jar is good'. Gao Bo is a true connoisseur. Needless to say, he is elegant. " . I'm afraid it's true.
Because pots are suitable for making tea, it is reasonable to choose pots for making tea and raise pots with pots. The older the teapot, the more famous it will be. The more famous, the easier it is to cultivate spirit; The harder it is for others to raise, the easier it is to raise. If it is a famous teapot or a pot with poor mud, it can still be identified by raising it. Tea lovers cultivate teapot with applicable, practical, contemporary and scientific tea-making methods, master the quantity, volume, water quantity, water temperature, duration and time of tea, form the optimal structure, and compile standardized tea-making methods. Raising pots is interesting, as precious as pearls and jade. According to my own practice, I have explored the scientific truth that the teapot is indeed the first tea set in the world. The beauty of texture can be compared with Sui Zhu and Zhao Bi. If you don't cut the jade, you can't raise it.
Using the method of raising pots, we can also raise teapot, purple sand sculpture and the whole purple sand art, fully displaying the spontaneous dark light of purple sand art, and the real emperor who can learn from it for a long time and has bright colors will be reported to the world.
First, thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the pot. Whether it is a new pot or an old pot, you should clean up the wax, stains and tea stains on the pot before raising it. It is especially important to note that the teapot should not be stained with oil, nor should it be placed in a place where oil smoke breeds, dust is everywhere and humidity is everywhere. As soon as it comes into contact with oil, it must be cleaned, otherwise the oil will block the soil tire and make the teapot unable to suck tea, leaving oil stains or spots.
Second, make tea. The more times you make tea, the more tea juice the teapot absorbs, and the soil tire absorbs it to a certain extent. Even if you pour boiling water, there will be a fragrance. When the pot touches the tea juice, use a small brush first, and the bristles must be soft. Wash the tea leaves accumulated in the pot, then rinse the pot body with boiling water and wipe it with a clean tea towel. Never stop wiping it, just dry it. The teapot should be cleaned and dried after use. After making tea, the tea residue should be removed to avoid the odor caused by the aging of tea for too long. Try to put it in a well-ventilated place, not in a stuffy place, and don't think it is precious. Wrap it up or seal it after use. Under the safe condition that children or small animals are not affected, it is best to put the cover on the side after use, and do not seal it for a long time. In addition, let the pot have a rest time. After soaking for a period of time, we need to let our baby teapot rest for a few days, and then use it after the soil tire is completely dry, so as to better absorb the tea juice. In addition, in order to ensure the purity of tea soup, it is best to prepare several good teapots and drink only one pot of a certain kind of tea. It is best not to use the same teapot when drinking all kinds of tea.
Last but not least, don't use detergent or any chemical to clean the teapot, otherwise it will wash away the tea fragrance and make the appearance lose luster, and our preliminary work will be ruined. ......
Teapot is a treasure of tea drinkers, but in order to show its true personality, it is necessary to have a correct method to raise teapot. Making a teapot is the best way to raise a teapot, which can be divided into the following six points:
1, thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the pot. Whether it is a new pot or an old pot, wax, oil, dirt, tea dirt, etc. You should take it out of the pot first.
2. Avoid oil pollution. The teapot is the most oil-free, so it must be cleaned immediately after touching it, otherwise the clay tire can't absorb tea, leaving all oil stains.
3. Make real tea. The more times you make tea, the more tea juice the pot absorbs. When the soil tire is absorbed to a certain extent, it will give off a jade-like luster on the pot surface.
4. Brush moderately. After the surface of the pot is drenched with tea juice, scrub the accumulated tea scraps in the pot with a soft brush, rinse them with boiling water, and then wipe them with a clean tea towel. Don't keep rubbing them.
5. Clean and dry after use. After making tea, the tea residue should be removed to avoid odor and need to be rearranged.
6. Let the pot have a rest. After soaking the teapot for a period of time, you need to have a rest, so that the soil tire can dry naturally and thoroughly, and it can be better absorbed when it is used again.
According to these six steps to brighten the pot, although the development speed is slow, the brightness can last for a long time and people are not afraid to touch it.
In the process of soaking, don't be too impatient, and don't use materials such as polishing cloth with fine emery particles, which will easily hurt the surface and leave scratches, thus destroying the texture of purple sand. A better method is to wipe with thick cotton cloth and use nylon brush when cleaning. Don't push too hard, lest you accidentally poke the teapot. Pay attention to brewing teapot and make correct gestures when pouring tea. It is best to gently press the edge of the lid with your index finger. You can wipe it with a clean towel when drinking tea. Don't leave the tea soup on the pot surface, otherwise the pot surface will be covered with tea stains over time, and there will be floating light after wiping. This kind of appearance is taboo for players. The preserved pot should have a "gloomy" color, and this luster should be "restrained". After drinking tea, it is best not to leave the tea in the teapot, but to pour it out and wash it. Although the teapot does have the characteristic of not rotting overnight, the tea overnight will taste like old soup. Hygienically speaking, the teapot is not a "safe" after all, and drinking tea after soaking for 10 hour is not good for your health.
The correct way to raise a pot:
1, pour hot water before making tea. Before making tea, it is advisable to shower the inside and outside of the teapot with hot water, which can play three major roles: mildew prevention, disinfection and kettle.
2. Clean the pan while it is hot. When making tea, due to the extremely high water temperature, the pores of the teapot itself will expand slightly, and water vapor will appear on the surface of the teapot. At this time, clean cotton towels can be used to wipe the whole pot several times during the soaking time of the first and second bubbles, and the pot body becomes brighter and smoother by using the temperature of hot water.
Don't soak the teapot in water when making tea. When making tea, some people are used to pouring boiling water into the tea boat to achieve the effect of heat preservation. But this has no positive effect on raising pots, but it will leave uneven colors on the pots.
4. After making tea, pour out the tea residue. After making tea every time, pour out the tea residue, rinse off the residual tea soup in the pot body with hot water, and keep the inside and outside of the pot clean.
Don't soak the tea soup in the pot. After making tea, be sure to pour out the tea dregs and soup, pour hot water inside and outside the pot, and then pour out the water. The pot should be kept dry and never accumulate moisture, so that the cultivated pottery pot can give off a natural luster.
6. Open the lid when it is dry in the shade. After washing the teapot, open the lid and put it in a ventilated and easy-to-dry place, dry it completely in the shade and then store it properly.
7. Avoid putting it in dusty places. When storing the teapot, avoid putting it in a place with too much oil smoke and dust, so as not to affect the moist feeling of the teapot surface.
8. Avoid cleaning with chemical cleaners. Never scrub the clay pot with detergent or chemical detergent, which will not only wash off the tea smell absorbed in the pot, but even brush off the luster of the teapot, so it should be absolutely avoided.
Maintenance of teapot:
1. When you buy a new pot, you can wipe it with a light gauze. After washing with water, put it in a pot, such as strong tea and water, and boil it. More water is needed to overflow the jar. Boil, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, take out and dry, then make tea.
2. Whether it is a new pot or an old pot, the surface temperature of the pot body is very high after the tea is brewed with boiling water. At this time, you can wipe the pot body with a wet towel or clean wet cloth, and rotate it several times to dry the watermark. After the temperature of the pot body drops, it can be rubbed by hand, which is beneficial to the smoothness of the pot body. If you persist in this way for three or four months, the new pot will generally emit a "shimmer".
3. If the teapot is not used for a long time, the tea residue should be dumped in time to avoid mildew or odor. Teapots are best protected from oil.
One advantage of the teapot is that it can "wrap the fragrance and emit hot air". Long-term use can attract tea fragrance and give off oily luster. The longer it takes, the more valuable it is.
Daily maintenance should pay attention to the following points:
1. After use, the teapot must be kept dry and do not accumulate moisture.
2. Keep it in a well-ventilated place, not in a hot place, and don't wrap or seal it.
Don't put it in a place with a lot of oil smoke or dust.
It's best to put the lid on the side after use, and don't always close the lid.
5. Don't soak the pot often, and then make it when making tea.
6. It is best to prepare more good teapots. When drinking a certain kind of tea, you can only use the designated teapot. You shouldn't make all kinds of tea in the same teapot. You should identify it to avoid confusion.
7. Don't dip the teapot with detergent or any chemical, otherwise it will wipe off the tea smell and make the appearance lose luster.
8. After each use, use a cloth to absorb the water outside the pot, then pour out two-thirds of the tea leaves in the pot, leaving about one-third of them, rush into boiling water for two or three times, keep the washed water, and then clean it up.
How to start using a new pot?
Traditional operation method:
1. Separate the kettle from the lid and put it in a clean container filled with water, which is large enough to cover the whole kettle.
2. At the same time, put some tea in the container (the tea you want to brew is put in this pot) and cook it slowly on a small fire. Pay attention to prevent the pot from colliding with the lid or container wall and causing damage.
3. Cook slowly for about 1 hour, remove the fire source, let the pot still stand in the container covered with water, slowly cool, and leave it for 1 day.
4. The next day, take out the pot, dump the remaining sediment in the pot, and wash the pot carefully with clear water.
5. Repeat the above steps once. The next day, take out the pot and wash it carefully with hot water. After this treatment, the air holes in the pot have been opened and can be used.
Simple processing method:
1. Fill the pot with newly boiled water and let it stand for 5- 10 minutes.
2. Fill the pot with newly boiled water again and add 1 teaspoon. Let the tea stand for 5- 10 minutes. Pour the water out of the pot.
How to wash the used teapot?
Since purple sand has its special function of absorbing tea fragrance, please don't use soap or any washing products to clean your teapot. After using the teapot, carefully pour out the tea leaves in the teapot and rinse them with hot water. Open the lid and let it dry naturally. Be careful not to let greasy things pollute your beloved pot.
I am a novice at making tea. I just started to learn that making tea and raising pots can make Ziyi show the light of truth, goodness and beauty. Now I want to attract jade, carry forward my own national craft culture, and enjoy the happiness of tea art and pot art together. This kind of dripping water wears away the stone, which is not annoying or dry. It has long adhered to the scientific skill of keeping the pot clean, so that people who love tea can realize the truth and law of playing and keeping the pot, and cultivate the true feelings of appreciating and hiding the pot. We can get what we want from tea culture and pottery, get the results we deserve, cultivate our temperament, enjoy the beautiful leisure culture and sublimate people's spiritual world to a noble artistic realm.
