Daily tea making maintenance steps of teapot

Step 1: Wipe the pot.

Take out the pot that is dry in the shade, and massage the pot body to preheat it first: wipe the pot body with a clean and dry towel 10 -20 minutes.

Step 2: Heat the pot.

1. Pour 1/3 pot of cold water, slowly pour in boiling water, and let the pot feel the temperature rise slowly. This process takes 1 2 minutes;

2. Slowly pour boiling water into the pot at the ratio of 1/2-2/3, and shake the water in the pot with the handle in one hand and the lid in the other for 30 seconds;

3. Fill the pot with boiling water and let it stand for 5 minutes. During this period, spray the pot with hot water once or twice to fully open the pores of the pot.

Step 3: Wash the tea and pour the pot.

Put a proper amount of tea in the pot.

1 If Guanyin is soaked in boiling water, let Guanyin granules roll in the water to achieve the effect of washing tea.

2. If you soak Pu 'er tea, slowly inject hot water slightly lower than the boiling water temperature along the pot.

After one minute, pour out the tea and the fair cup and let it stand for a few minutes. When making tea, it is inevitable that tea will overflow onto the wall of the pot. In this case, it is best to rinse the pot with boiling water, because there are impurities in the tea at this time, and the tea juice flowing to the surface of the pot is uneven, which is prone to flowers. Tea stains left on the pot wall will affect the formation of patina and block the pores of purple sand.

Put the towel on the bottom of the pot, then wash the tea with the tea leaves just prepared, and pour the tea juice on the bottom surface of the pot. If you can, brush with a pot to make the tea juice evenly distributed. The tea juice flowing down the trend is absorbed by the towel under the pot, and then the pot is showered from head to toe with hot water. Massage the pan with a clean wet towel.

Step 4: Make tea (1 on)

In the process of brewing, first pour boiling water on the outer wall of the pot, and then pour water into the pot, which is often called "moistening the pot". During the "running-in period" of the new teapot in the first month, it should be wiped with a rough tea towel, and then wiped with a more delicate tea towel one month later. The principle of wiping should follow "coarse cloth for new pot and fine cloth for old pot;" Dry cloth for dry basin and wet cloth for wet basin. 1-3 takes about one minute after tea, about one and a half minutes after 4-6 courses, and about one minute after 7-8 courses.

It takes about a minute. This is the moment when the nutrients in tea are most concentrated. In this one minute of making tea, we use the heat of the pot body and wipe the pot surface with a wet pot towel that has just absorbed the tea juice, and we can see that the pot surface is quickly volatilized by the wet towel. Tea will be served in one minute. Pour out the tea soup slowly, don't sway, be gentle.

The temperature for drinking Tieguanyin is 100℃. Although mud absorbs the aroma and tea oil in hot tea soup, when the tea soup is below 80℃, its adsorption does not stop abruptly, but the speed is slow (adsorption is faster at high temperature, and the time required at low temperature will increase accordingly). From this point of view, as long as you can flexibly control the residence time of tea stains according to the change of temperature, the former can make it better.

The key points of watering or wiping are teapot cover, spout and handle. Because these places are the parts where the tea juice can't be soaked or soaked less, the places where the tea oil is not moistened for a long time will not form "patina" or "patina layer", so it will be inconsistent and uncoordinated with the "patina" color of the pot body, thus affecting the overall aesthetic feeling of the teapot. The cinnabar/red mud pot must not be filled with tea soup for a long time, and the body of the pot will become bright after eating tea oil.

Step 5: 2 Open

At the end of boiling water, prepare a clean wet towel to cool the pot and wipe it twice while lifting it. Pour in 100℃ water and start the second opening for about one minute. Repeat the above steps within this minute. Wipe off the tea soup accumulated in the pot mouth every time after pouring tea. If you don't wipe it, it will be difficult to clean it after it forms a runny nose.

After wiping the pot, open the lid of the pot to let the tea have a process of ventilation and relaxation, and then soak it to precipitate more tea quality.

Step 6: After 3 on -7 on -N on.

Repeat step 5.

Step 5: End of tea drinking: After each use, use a cloth to absorb the water outside the pot, then pour out two-thirds of the tea in the pot, leaving about one-third of it, and then rinse it with boiling water for two or three times, and then clean it up.

How to maintain the teapot

Teapot is a treasure of tea drinkers, but in order to show its true personality, it is necessary to have a correct method to raise teapot. Making a teapot is the best way to raise a teapot, which can be divided into the following six points:

1, thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the pot. Whether it is a new pot or an old pot, wax, oil, dirt, tea dirt, etc. You should take it out of the pot first.

2. Avoid oil pollution. The teapot is the most oil-free, so it must be cleaned immediately after it is touched, otherwise the soil tire will not absorb tea, leaving only oil stains.

3. Make real tea. The more times you make tea, the more tea juice the pot absorbs. When the soil tire is absorbed to a certain extent, it will give off a jade-like luster on the pot surface.

4. Brush moderately. After the surface of the pot is drenched with tea juice, brush off the accumulated tea needles in the pot with a soft brush, rinse with boiling water, and then wipe with a clean tea towel. Don't keep pushing and rubbing it.

5. Clean and dry after use. After making tea, the tea residue should be removed to avoid odor and need to be rearranged.

6. Let the pot have a rest. After soaking the teapot for a period of time, you need to have a rest, so that the soil tire can dry naturally and thoroughly, and it can be better absorbed when it is used again. According to these six steps to brighten the pot, although the development speed is slow, the brightness can last for a long time and people are not afraid to touch it.

Rules for raising teapots: How to regenerate teapots?

With the simultaneous improvement of people's material life and collection value, many works of art and ceramics have gradually entered everyone's field of vision. Especially some successful people and business people, they all have a hobby, that is, they like to collect some ceramic products of teapot, which looks simple and elegant and is also beneficial to health. So how can the teapot play its full role in the use process? Today, with questions, let's discuss how to make the teapot we just bought shine better. Purple sand. Com suggests starting from the following aspects.

Pour boiling water inside and outside the pot body first, which can clean the pot body, remove mold and wake the pot.

Second, if you use tea, first of all, you should pay attention to raising the pot body slightly, so that the circle foot exceeds the water surface by a certain height to prevent the pot body from leaving a waterline or uneven color distribution.

3. Put the warm tea-making soup made for the first time in the tea set for later use, and then use this tea-making soup to pour the body and appearance of the pot when making tea for the second time. This is repeated until the whole process is over.

Fourthly, due to the high permeability of the teapot itself, when it is hot, the pores will gradually expand and become larger due to thermal expansion and cold contraction. At this time, you can wipe the pot body with a cotton towel, so that the tea oil can slowly penetrate into the pores inside the teapot, and after a long time, it will accumulate luster.

5. After making tea until it is tasteless, carefully remove the tea residue, then rinse the inside and outside of the teapot with hot water, put the teapot in a dry and ventilated place, and remove the lid to facilitate the teapot to air dry. Otherwise, because the lid of the teapot is tight, it is very unsanitary to seal it in the shade to dry.

When the pot is hot, some pot friends wipe it up and down with cotton towels dipped in tea soup. At this time, due to the high surface temperature, the tea soup contained in the wet wipes will evaporate and fall off when wiping, leaving tea oil that can moisten the pot, which can improve the effect of raising the pot. Some people make thick tea soup as "ink" first, then dip it in with a soft brush or a pot-protecting brush and apply it evenly on the pot repeatedly to improve the time and frequency of contact between the teapot and tea soup.

Don't make a second tea by practicing both inside and outside.

Raising a pot depends not only on the appearance, but also on the inside of the pot, so as to receive the effect of both internal and external repair. The most important trick of raising a pot is that only one kind of tea can be brewed in a pot. Because the structure of teapot has special double holes and is good at absorbing tea soup, a teapot that is often used can make light tea soup even without adding tea leaves. Therefore, the tea soup brewed by a teapot that does not brew the second kind of tea can keep its original flavor unchanged, otherwise, today's oolong tea, tomorrow's Pu 'er tea and the day after tomorrow's scented tea will inevitably have mixed tea tastes and no uniqueness.

Usually, after starting to raise a pot, first avoid using chemicals such as detergent to clean it, so as not to produce odor or brush off the luster of the pot. Unless you plan to clean it thoroughly and raise it from scratch, if there are stains on the pot body, you may as well wipe it with a dry rag or wash it with a soft brush dipped in tea soup.

In addition, the shapes of teapot are varied, and some teapot, such as flower and ribbed device, are more likely to produce dead corners of tea stains, which can be cleaned frequently with a soft toothbrush. In addition, the bottom of the pot is not easy to get tea soup, and there is often grease on the handle of the pot, which is easy to repel tea soup; Moreover, the lower edge of the spout that will "drool" should be deliberately wiped. Details like the above depend on the care of the pot owner.

The hygiene of pots and teapots should be the first priority.

It is worth noting that in order to form a "tea mountain" in the pot and make it look more ancient, some people left the tea in the teapot and let it dry naturally. However, due to the high temperature and humidity in many areas, mold is easy to breed in teapot. From the point of view of hygiene, this method is really not desirable. Some people even deliberately store the last tea soup in a pot after making tea until it is poured out before the next use. They think that this method can play the role of internal immersion and external cultivation. In fact, I don't know that the pore structure of teapot is not only good at adsorbing tea soup, but also easy to adsorb mold. The pot raised in this way is afraid that the tea will smell bad in the future and even hinder health, which is really not worth the candle.

In a word, raising a teapot is not as difficult as you think. If you like teapot, you may wish to refer to the above steps and precautions and take good care of your teapot, so that you can develop a beautiful teapot that everyone likes. When the pot is placed on the shelf, the warm luster is like your own child, and the sense of accomplishment is not something that ordinary people can feel.

How to open the teapot

No matter how you open the teapot, you should first check the integrity of the teapot to see if there is any damage or defect and whether the accessories are complete. Then the pot should be washed with clean water.

There are two ways to open the teapot:

1. Cooking method: It is the "clear water boiling pot" method that is most widely circulated on the Internet and most talked about by pot friends;

(1) Clear water boiling pot: clean up the stains (including residual sand and sand powder, etc.) inside and outside the pot first. ), wipe it with a clean towel dipped in water, and then let the pot dry naturally.

Then put it in clear water (the amount of clear water is enough to submerge the pot 1 inch) and cook for 5~ 10 minutes (without cover:).

(The teapot boils in water)

(2) Tofu boiling pot: Follow the first step. After taking out the pot, naturally cool the pot body and tea accessories to room temperature, and then add tofu (it is recommended to use old tofu because it has strong adsorption). Press it slightly when filling to prevent tofu from running out of the pot after boiling. Put the dish in cold water, heat it until the kitchen is full of tofu aroma, and then wait for about 5~ 10 minutes. The purpose of this step is to remove the internal heat of the teapot (due to kiln burning, some people think that the teapot has a great "internal heat" and should be cooled before normal use).

(3) Sugarcane boiling pot: Take out the pot cooked with tofu, wash it with clear water, and naturally cool it to normal temperature. Put the sugarcane head (about the same width as the pot body) into the pot and cook it as in the previous step until the air is filled with the fragrance of sugarcane, and cook for 5~ 10 minutes.

(Sugarcane pot)

(4) Take out the cooked pot and let it cool naturally until there is no heat.

Then determine the tea to be brewed in the future, such as black tea, Pu 'er, Longjing and so on. We strongly recommend that you make only one kind of tea in a pot.

Add cold water again, put the tea leaves and the pot together, let it boil, take out the pot about 10 minutes after the air is full of the fragrance of tea leaves, rub the pot body and lid with the tea leaves in the pot for a few minutes, and finally wash the pot with warm water. The purpose of this step is to "determine the taste" and determine the type of tea brewed with this pot in the future.

(Boiling a teapot, taking Longjing as an example here)

At this point, the "clear water boiling pot method" is completed!

2, pouring method (safety):

(1) Cleaning stains: Cleaning the outside of the pot and the pot fittings in the pot, and then pouring hot water, can play three major roles: mildew prevention, disinfection and kettle warming.

(2) Start making tea: When cleaning the pot while it is hot, the pores of the teapot will expand slightly due to the extremely high water temperature, and water vapor will appear on the surface of the teapot. At this time, you can use a clean cotton towel to wipe the whole pot several times during the soaking time of the first few bubbles, and use the temperature of hot water to make the pot more bright and moist.

(3) The first few bubbles of this method can be washed away and should not be drunk (recommended only). After the countdown, the internal heat of the teapot is almost eliminated (although it can't be as thorough as the first method), and the next step is daily maintenance!

In short, cherish the pot, cherish the pot and cherish the pot. Usually, the teapot must be maintained, and it should be handled carefully when using, playing and appreciating.

Use of teapot

The use of teapot, because of the characteristics of material, shows an incomparable advantage over other utensils, that is, it can communicate with users emotionally. The more you pour into it, the more you love it, and it will come back to you deeper, cuter, smoother and more quaint. Therefore, the best teapot should not be shelved and used frequently. Zhou, a Ming Dynasty man, said: "The pot has been used for a long time, and it has spontaneous shimmer every day, which can be used for reference." This sentence is actually the fundamental way to raise a pot with a pot. Specifically, the steps are roughly as follows:

1. After buying a new pot, you can rub it slightly with a fine emery cloth, and never polish it with a coarse emery cloth to avoid damaging the skin (some pot authors have already treated it when selling it). Wash it with water or cloth first, wipe off the dust on the surface and ceramic debris inside, then put it in a soluble teapot, or boil it with tea, and turn off the fire immediately after boiling. Stew the pot with waste heat until the tea is slightly cool, and then ignite it to boil. After this process is completed, take out the new pot and dry it naturally before making tea. This is not a necessary procedure. In fact, when you get a new pot, you can make tea by washing and boiling it twice.

2. whether it is a new pot or an old pot, the surface temperature of the pot is very high after the tea leaves are cut with boiling water. At this time, the pot can be wiped with wet wool cloth or clean wet cloth, and the watermark can be rotated and dried many times. After the pot temperature drops slightly, you can also rub it by hand, which is beneficial to the smoothness of the pot. If you persist in this way for three or four months, the new pot will generally emit a "shimmer".

3. If the teapot is not used for a long time, or the tea residue is not poured out in time due to negligence, and mildew or odor occurs, you can fill it with boiling water after the tea residue with musty smell and odor is eliminated, shake it a few times, and then immerse it in cold water, and the odor can be treated. If you fail once, you can repeat it 2-3 times, and there will always be satisfactory results, and you don't have to worry that the teapot will suddenly crack because of sudden changes in heat and cold. This is what the ancients said: "the pot is full of miscellaneous gas, and there is boiling soup inside." If you pour it into cold water, it will also rush out of the water and regain its vitality. "

The teapot is most afraid of getting dirty by oil. People in the Zhou Dynasty pointed out: "If I am tired and shiny, it is the most shameful thing to call it a monk's light." If so, it's like getting unkempt. If the pan is stained with oil, you can wipe it off by hand. If the oil is too heavy, you can also gently wipe it with a fine cloth slightly stained with detergent, and then rub it with your hands to make the pot glow and look beautiful in essence. However, there is no need to change the face of the ancient pot antiquities, leaving an ancient aesthetic feeling is also a proof of the age. In short, we should treat specific objects concretely and correctly, and we can't make a rule.

5. Don't keep tea residue in the pot for a long time. Although there is a saying that purple sand teapot will not be sour for a long time, it will still smell, especially in summer, which will affect the formation and accumulation of tea mountain in the pot. Leave the tea soup in the pot and dry it in the shade. Also pay attention to timely and moderate control, so that tea soup will not go bad.

6. There is a complete set of pots in Taiwan Province Province that conform to the tea ceremony in Taiwan Province Province. Potting method is as follows:

China Tea Ceremony, edited by Huang Dunyan, has the following words:

The maintenance of the pot is generally called "raising the pot". The purpose of raising the pot is to make it good at "accumulating flavor and nourishing fragrance" and let its pot glow with its own simple luster. This is because clay pots have water absorption. If you absorb tea quality for a long time, it does have the effect of "helping tea".

For people in the tea ceremony, keeping a teapot is by no means the purpose of tea tasting, but it is certain that a properly maintained teapot can improve the practice of tea tasting.

Raising pots, like cultivating saplings, will inevitably lose the power of natural formation. There is no need to raise pots on a whim. Only when they are used more and maintained properly can they be made into products like seedlings naturally nourished by heaven and earth, which are more precious without artificial supplement of nutrients.

It is unscientific to raise a teapot like this.

The master analyzed the unscientific method of raising teapot: good pots are raised, but many pot friends are not very clear about how to raise pots, and many pot friends have expressed their opinions. I have sorted out five unscientific methods of raising pots and shared them with you.

Dry cleaning method. When making tea, pour the tea juice on the pot while it is hot. After the tea juice is poured out, wipe it back and forth with a dry tea towel. The pot raised in this way shines quickly, but after it is planted, it is most afraid of human luck and moisture. Once it touches the surface of the pot, the gloss after development is easy to fade, resulting in uneven gloss on the surface of the pot.

Package method. When making tea, pour the tea juice on the pot, thinking that you can absorb more nutrients by pouring the pot several times without wiping or brushing. Over time, the pot was covered with a layer of tea dirt, and the surface of the pot became greasy and black, which was not beautiful.

Brush frequently. When making tea, pour the tea on the pot. When the pot absorbs heat, brush it frequently with a brush or a small brush, so that the tea juice is evenly brushed on the pot, like brushing shoes, but it is actually empty light.

Wet rubbing method. When the kettle body is hot, wipe the kettle body with a tea towel soaked with tea leaves and rub it constantly. This method is like shoeshine, where tea juice is rubbed on it layer by layer. After brightening, if it is not used for more than half a year, the luster will gradually fade.

Tea dirt method. There is a misconception that teapot should be maintained with a tea scale. After making tea, put the tea in the teapot for a few days, and sometimes forget to pour it out, and the teapot will become moldy. This is a very unscientific way to raise pots. If you really have a pot, wash and dry it after making tea and keep it dry in a ventilated place. ;
