Why do you choose a purple sand pot for decoction and what are the benefits of decoction?
Zisha is a kind of porosity with a double pore structure Material, fine pores, high density. The tea is brewed in a purple clay pot, without losing the original flavor, and the fragrance is not scattered, and the true fragrance and taste of the tea are obtained. “Changwuzhi” said that it “does not take fragrance, nor does it have the flavor of cooked soup”. The purple clay pot has good ventilation function, and it is not easy to brew tea with it, and it will not go rancid in the summer. If you don’t use it for a long time, there will be no miscellaneous gas. As long as you fill it with boiling water, pour it out immediately, and then immerse it in cold water to rinse, the vitality will be restored, and the tea will still have the original taste. The sand pot can absorb the tea juice, the inner wall of the pot is not brushed, and the tea is brewed without peculiar smell.
The purple clay teapot has been used for a long time, and the wall of the teapot has accumulated “tea rust”, so that the empty teapot will be filled with boiling water, and the tea fragrance will be dense. It is the unique quality of Zisha teapot. Zisha teapot has a good function of rapid changes in cold and heat. In the last month of winter, boiling water is injected into the pot, and it will never burst due to sudden changes in temperature. At the same time, the sandy heat transfer is slow, and it will not be hot to hold after brewing tea. It can also be cooked and heated on a slow fire, so it will not crack due to fire.
The longer the purple sand is used, the brighter and brighter the body of the pot will be, and the more elegant it will be. After being used for a long time, the body of the purple clay pot will become more lustrous and lovely due to touching and wiping, so Wen Long said in “Tea Notes”: “Moving palm treasure love is like palm pearl. It is like a blue cloud.” “Yangxian Teapot Series” said: “The pot is used for a long time, and the mouth is cleaned and wiped, and it spontaneously emits a faint light, which can be seen in the mirror.”. According to scientific analysis, the purple clay pot does retain the original flavor of the tea soup, it can absorb the tea juice, and it is resistant to cold and heat.
All in all, purple sand pottery has five characteristics:
First, purple sand pottery is pottery tempered from sand, and it does not take away The aroma of tea does not have the smell of cooked soup, so it is used to brew tea with both color and aroma.
Second, the sandy teapot can absorb the tea juice, so that the corners can accumulate “tea rust” for a period of time, so pouring boiling water into the empty pot also has the aroma of tea.
Third, it is easy to wash, and it will inevitably smell bad if it is not used for a long time. It can be soaked in boiling water for two or three times, then poured out the cold water, and the original taste of the tea will remain unchanged.
Fourth, strong adaptability to rapid changes in cold and heat, in the last month of winter, injecting boiling water will not cause swelling and cracking due to rapid temperature changes; and the sandy heat transfer is slow, no matter whether it is lifted, touched or held. Not hot.
Fifth, the purple sand pottery is resistant to burning, and the pot is not easy to burst when placed on a warm fire in winter.
Back then, Su Dongpo used the purple sand pottery pot with beams to make tea, and the poem “Pine Wind Bamboo Stove, Tiling the Pot and Calling” is by no means accidental.
This is the reason why Pufan likes to use purple clay teapots.
