What material is better for tea sets

Drinking tea is a health product that can calm people's mood. Tea can not only help people refresh themselves, it can also help people digest food. Everyone knows that good tea can leave a lingering fragrance in one's mouth, leaving a long aftertaste. In fact, drinking tea not only depends on the tea leaves but also the tea set. A good set of tea sets can ensure that the fragrance of the tea will not be lost during the tea brewing process. Good tea sets are difficult to identify, so now the editor will show you what materials are better for tea sets for your reference.

The best material for tea sets is purple clay. 1. Purple clay is fine and has a high iron content. It has good air permeability and water absorption. Using a purple clay teapot to brew loose tea can bring out the true fragrance of the tea. No wonder Wen Zhenheng mentioned in "Changwuzhi": "The best teapot is the one with a lid that does not take away the fragrance and has no smell of cooked soup." Therefore, purple clay teapots have always been the mainstream teapots in the Ming Dynasty and later. 2. Zisha tea has three main characteristics, namely, "the flavor of the tea does not change when brewed, the color does not change when stored, and it is not easy to go bad in hot summer." The tea body is dense and hard, with natural clay color, and it is cold and heat-resistant. The tea brewed has no cooked soup taste and can retain its fragrance. It also conducts heat slowly and is not easy to burn your hands. It will not burst when used to stew tea.

Additional information:

1. Today's purple clay tea sets are made from a special kind of clay, namely purple gold clay, buried in the southern part of Yixing, Jiangsu and the adjacent northern part of Changxing, Zhejiang. This kind of clay has a high iron content and good plasticity. The best firing temperature is around 1150 degrees Celsius.

2. The color of purple clay tea sets can be adjusted by utilizing the differences in the color and texture of the purple clay.

For example, the sky blue clay can be made dark liver color, the honey clay can be made light ochre color, the stone yellow clay can be made cinnabar color, and the pear skin clay can be made into frozen pear color.

3. In addition, by mixing purple clay of different textures, it can also make it appear in colors such as bronze and light ink. High-quality raw materials and natural color lay the material foundation for firing excellent purple clay tea sets.
