Is coarse pottery tea set poisonous?

Pottery is a handicraft that has been passed down from primitive society. Pottery is mainly made by kneading clay into the desired shape and then burning it. You can also add some of your favorite patterns on it. Its main function in daily life is to hold things. In modern society, most people use porcelain, and pottery is rarely seen in daily life. But there are still some people who like to drink tea with tea sets made of coarse pottery. So are coarse pottery tea sets toxic?

1. If it is not glazed or glazed with high temperature, it is non-toxic. If it is glazed with bright colors and low temperature, it is toxic. In order to make the colors of ceramic tea sets more vivid, lead is usually added to the pigment, which is the so-called heavy metal in ceramic pigments. Under high temperature conditions, the lead will seep out, but when the temperature is not very high, the seepage will not be so complete.

2. The second choice is the coarse pottery tea washer. There are three essential tea washers in Kung Fu tea sets, namely one main washbasin and two auxiliary washbasins. The main washbasin is mainly used to soak tea cups, while the auxiliary washbasins are used for soaking the teapot and holding water for washing tea cups. Finally, there is the choice of a coarse pottery tea tray. Like other materials, the selection of stoneware tea trays should follow the four principles of "wide, flat, shallow and white". The width is to hold more tea cups, the flatness is to place the whole set of Kung Fu tea sets steadily, and the light white edges are to bring out the beauty of the tea cups and teapots.

3. If you want to maintain a good teapot, first of all, you should try to choose high-quality Nixing pottery teapots. No matter how well you maintain those inferior and incomplete teapots, they are still incomplete after all. There is a saying about "nurturing a teapot" that there are external and internal nurturing. Only by cultivating the inner and outer aspects and absorbing both, can you make a good teapot. External maintenance means making tea and wiping the roots frequently. When making tea, the temperature of the pot is high and the pores on the wall of the pot will expand slightly. At this time, you should use gauze to wipe off the mist and allow the tea oil to be absorbed by the wall of the pot along with the heat. Over time, the wall of the pot will gradually become shiny. The key to internal cultivation is to use a teapot that does not serve two kinds of tea. Because the Nixing pottery teapot has a special pore structure and is good at absorbing tea soup, the tea soup brewed in a teapot that does not serve two kinds of tea can maintain the original flavor of the tea. Otherwise, the tea soup will be mixed together and have almost no personality, and the quality of the teapot will not be elegant. At that time, people's love and aesthetic taste for tea and tea utensils also developed along with the continuous evolution of social tea drinking customs, brewing methods and ceramic tea utensils.
