What kind of tea is suitable for a wood-fired kettle

The wood-fired teapot is fired with firewood. After 48 hours of uninterrupted firing, the teapot can present a natural and rough appearance. The firing cost of wood-fired pots is high, so the output is also low. No chemical ingredients are added during the firing process, so the price is also relatively high. A wood-fired teapot can soften water, thereby improving the taste of tea. There are many types of tea that are suitable for brewing in a wood-fired teapot.

What is a wood fired kettle?

Wood firing uses firewood as fuel. During the kiln firing process, the ash and heat produced by the burning wood directly flow into the kiln and adhere to the body. When the temperature reaches above 1200 degrees Celsius, the finished product will form a natural ash glaze that is warm, lustrous, and rich in layers.

Benefits of wood-fired tea sets:

1. The benefits of wood-fired tea sets are mainly reflected in their water softening effect, because the existence of this effect can further improve the taste of tea and the quality of tea soup. The reason for this effect is that the temperature of wood-fired sintering has reached the level of porcelainization, and it also contains rock and mineral soil. Therefore, wood-fired tea sets are more suitable for brewing oolong tea, black tea, dark tea and other teas.

2. The most prominent benefit of wood-fired tea sets is that they can bring out the quality and aroma of the tea. In addition, as an excellent Kung Fu tea set, wood-fired tea sets also give people a sense of simplicity and purity of returning to nature, which is also an important reason why many people choose it.

Tea suitable for wood-fired tea sets:

We all know that there are six major categories of Chinese tea, namely: green tea, white tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, black tea and dark tea. Among these six categories, green tea is the most obviously incompatible with wood-fired tea sets. Green tea is more delicate and needs to be brewed with boiling water. It is best placed in a transparent glass cup. In addition to smelling the fragrance, you can also see the tea leaves slowly blooming in the cup and enjoy the beauty of taste and color. The contact surface of wood-fired tea sets is relatively rough and rich in trace elements. It has a certain softening effect on water and a certain adsorption effect on the aroma of tea. Brewing green tea in wood-fired tea sets will affect the quality of the tea soup to a certain extent.

The same principle does not apply to Tieguanyin, one of the oolong teas. Tieguanyin is known for its aroma and tea soup color, and is best suited to pure white ceramic tea sets. First, it helps to control the ratio of water to tea, second, you can smell the aroma, and third, you can see the color of the tea. If you use wood-fired teaware to brew Tieguanyin, part of the aroma will be diluted, and the tender green tea soup will not show up in the dark-colored wood-fired cup, which is an invisible waste of high-quality Tieguanyin.

The most suitable tea for wood-fired tea sets is Wuyi Rock Tea. In addition, there are white tea, black tea, dark tea and so on. Wuyi Rock Tea has the flavor of rock. Although it is also an oolong tea, its taste is overbearing and strong, and the tea soup is rich in color. It has a natural resistance to the absorption of wood-fired tea sets, and can combine with it to make the originally hard and thick tea soup tend to soften, making it more mellow and smooth. In addition, the adsorption function of the wood-fired tea set can also store the tea aroma of rock tea. Even if you don’t make tea, you can still enjoy the tea aroma lingering on the tea set.
