Different materials of teapot have different tea suitability, so it is necessary to distinguish the types of materials before choosing teapot. As the saying goes, "there is no pot without mud", and mud is the basic component of teapot, which is related to the overall quality of teapot and the later soaking effect. Look at the mud before you buy a pot to play with. The so-called high-quality mud has the characteristics of "not bright in color but not greasy in quality".

Chemical kettle: A kettle made by artificially adding chemical raw materials, such as violent oxidation, lead oxide and other harmful substances, is extremely cheap.

Stirring pot: the raw ore mud mixed with sand is harmless to people. But the finished pot has no collection value. Low-end fake teapots are harmful to health instead of health care. Choose a natural teapot for this entrance. Health is priceless!

Second, look at the works.

If the production process of teapot is rough, it will sometimes directly affect the use function, and whether the workmanship is fine can be reflected in many aspects.

(1) Detail treatment: From the workmanship point of view, it is mainly reflected in the size of the handle, lid and button, spout and the treatment of the inner wall of the pot.

(2) Smooth effluent: Whether the effluent is smooth sometimes directly affects the quality of tea soup. For example, to make kung fu tea, it is required to pour out the tea soup quickly, and poor water will affect the taste of the tea.

(3) Feel comfortable: the teapot button is easy to hold, the handle is easy to hold, the center of gravity is easy to grasp, and it will be more convenient and comfortable to use.

Third, look at the pot type.

The pot shape can be selected according to the degree of extension and penetration of tea leaves during brewing.

(1) Round pot is suitable for most tea leaves. Because the circular wall allows water to flow downstream in the pot, water is closely combined with tea leaves, which is conducive to making tea.

(2) The tall pot is suitable for brewing black tea and some finely divided tea leaves. Because black tea is fully fermented during baking, it feels more fragrant after being stuffy in a goblet.

(3) Flat pot is suitable for brewing green tea and some big leaf tea. Because green tea has not been fermented during baking, chlorophyll has not been destroyed, so it should not be stuffy when brewing. Therefore, green tea is poured into a flat pot, which is fresh and gives consideration to color, fragrance and taste.
