Can sterling silver be used as a teapot?
Pure silver teapots have been popular in the upper class since ancient times, and gold and silver were expensive in ancient times.

Cha Sheng and Lu Yu made an incisive exposition on the pure silver teapot: "Tan: Made of pig iron ... Hongzhou uses porcelain, Laizhou uses stone. Porcelain and stone are elegant, unstable and difficult to last. Silver is the cleanest, but it involves extravagance. Elegant is elegant, clean is clean, if used consistently, and the pawn is silver. "

This passage in the Book of Tea explains in detail the beauty of sterling silver teapot: porcelain and stone are elegant, but the heat conduction is too poor, it is easy to be fried and boiled. What's more, stones and coarse porcelain clay are not far away, they are all superficial and neglected. Silver pots are the cleanest and will not spoil the original taste of tea. The ancients used silver as money, but the silver pot was a luxury and lost the original intention of tasting tea. However, today, people can rely on the ancient style and enjoy the elegant dream for thousands of years.

Many people don't know what kind of benefits silver will bring to human body if it is used for food.

In fact, as early as before, silver utensils have been used by people, and their practical value is beyond doubt.

Silver can prevent corrosion and keep fresh. In many areas of our country, ethnic minorities like to hold food in silverware to keep food fresh and delicious for a long time.

The silver bowl is not only a symbol of nobility and purity, but also has a fresh-keeping function, because horse milk will deteriorate in a few days in an ordinary bowl, but it can remain delicious and mellow for a long time in a silver bowl.

Moreover, boiling water in a pure silver teapot can make the water soft and silky, and the taste and throat rhyme are more delicate, soft, sweet, smooth, round and full. The pure silver teapot not only enhances the flavor of fragrant tea, but also awakens the taste of Pu 'er tea or Tieguanyin tea, making tea and drinking tea. At the same time, silver has many health functions: it can soothe the nerves, warm the stomach and relax the essence. The application in water filling, boiling, making tea or tea ceremony is mainly to help obtain the best quality water source.
