The old shopkeeper's monologue

How to choose a pot?

There are many kinds of purple sand teapot, so how to choose a satisfactory one? Fang run suggests that you choose carefully from five aspects: "mud, shape, workmanship, money and merit".

Mud

According to the analysis of modern science, the molecular structure of purple sand teapot is indeed different from other mud, that is, the same purple sand mud, its structure is also different, there is a slight difference. In this way, due to different raw materials, bring functional effectiveness and give people a different sense of function.

Those who are good in function and utility are good in quality, otherwise they are poor in quality; those who feel good in their functions are good in quality, and vice versa. Therefore, the first thing to evaluate the pros and cons of a purple sand teapot is the quality of the mud. Compared with other clay clay, a remarkable feature of purple sand is that it feels different. Touching objects that are not purple sand is like touching glassware-sticking hands, while touching purple sand objects is like touching bean paste-fine but not greasy, very comfortable. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the feel of a purple sand teapot.

Form

How to evaluate these shapes is also "the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom", people have their own love, can not be forced. There are countless types of purple sand teapot, so we should not follow others and think which one is good and which is not. Just like a school of art, there is no difference between good and bad, but acting in this school of play can see the pros and cons. I think ancient clumsiness is the best, magnanimity is the second, elegance is the second, and interest is the second. What is the reason? Because the purple sand teapot is a part of the whole tea culture, the artistic conception it pursues should be the artistic conception pursued by the tea ceremony: "indifferent to peace, otherworldly", and Gushuo is the most harmonious with this atmosphere, so Gushuo is the best.

Worker

Points, lines and surfaces are the basic elements that make up the shape of the purple sand teapot. In the forming process of the purple sand pot, it must be explained clearly, just like meticulous painting, starting and writing, turning twists and turns, cadence, must be explained clearly. The face is smooth, the beard hair is hairy; the thread, straight, straight, curved; point, square, round, without any ambiguity. Otherwise, it can't be regarded as a good pot. According to the special requirements of the forming process of purple sand teapot, the spout and handle should be absolutely in a straight line, and the weight should be balanced; the combination of spout and lid should be strict. This is also the requirement of "workers".

The pure hand-made purple sand tea set is very different from the machine-made one. The workmanship is really fine, the overall appearance is beautiful, and the surface of the pot feels rough.

Money

Historically, the purple sand teapot is priced according to the person, and the famous pot is worth a hundred times. It is especially prominent in the commodity society. In this way, it is easy to appear in the market to imitate famous artists, and counterfeit products are common, so you need to be particularly careful in choosing famous pots.

Work

The biggest difference between Zisha teapot and other works of art is that it is a highly practical work of art. Its "art" is all in "use". If it loses its meaning of "use", art no longer exists. Therefore, the functional beauty of the pot must not be ignored.

[functional beauty of purple sand teapot]

1. Moderate capacity

Second, be tall and short properly

Third, the lid is tight

IV. Smooth flow of water

According to the current tea drinking habits of people in the south of China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), two to five people can drink tea, and it is best to use a capacity of 350 milliliters. Its capacity is just about four cups, and it takes only one hand to touch the hand, so it is called "one hand pot". The height and height of the purple teapot have their own uses. The high pot is small, it is suitable to make black tea; the short pot is large, it is suitable to make green tea, but it must be moderate, too high will make the tea tasteless, and if it is too short, the tea will easily overflow from the lid, making the scenery evil. What spoils the scene is that the spout of the kettle is not smooth, and a few small pieces of pearl tea are all big leaves in the pot, which is easy to block. At present, the spout of the pot has been renamed alone according to the habit of tea drinkers, so that the running water is obviously more smooth than before. The lid of the kettle is required to be tight, so that the water can fall into the sea of tea and not into the pot. It seems that the relationship with functional beauty is not practical to pay attention to hygiene, and it must be mentioned. All these are common standards.

Purple sand teapot culture

One of the most important factors in the origin, development and fame of purple sand teapot in Yixing is its unique high quality and famous purple sand mud. There are many purple sand producing areas. Why is Yixing's purple sand teapot so famous? It is not only the exquisite craftsmanship, but also the emergence of a large number of masters, the real reason is that the purple sand produced in Yixing has excellent texture and high iron content, and after firing, it has good water absorption and exhaust rate, which is used to make tea with excellent color, aroma and taste. Therefore, to judge whether it is a good pot or not, the first criterion is to see whether the mud is authentic Yixing original mine purple sand.

The beautiful Yixing town carries the dream of the pot maker, which is not only life, but also love. It's not so much making a pot as inheriting a craft.

Thanks to the gift of nature, with her riddled holes to create human wealth, China is proud of purple sand, Yixing is proud of you.

Their own backyard, the old house is bought purple sand raw ore after selection, are piled here open-air weathering, for a long time above are covered with weeds. At present, in order to save time and resources, many businesses buy mud directly from the mud factory, but the mud in the factory is either prone to fake goods, or is weathered or stale enough, or their own purchase and production of peace of mind.

The selection of mud is a necessary work every day, and good pots must use good materials! The stale room is very fastidious, it is necessary to ensure a proper temperature, do not open the door at will.

Insist on selling only real purple sand

Retain the original color of purple sand

Everyone says that the water of purple sand is very deep, but I am a straight man, and I don't like to bend around. Four generations of my ancestors are all pot-making families, and they have certain feelings for purple sand, but no one is perfect and no one is full of gold. Purple sand products have their own characteristics in the firing process, and it is impossible to make every pot exactly the same. No matter what problems you encounter, you can contact us at any time and be sure to give you a satisfactory answer. Please forgive me for what you can't do.

We will announce the latest purple sand teapot on Wechat.

The old shopkeeper told the truth.

First, insist on selling real purple sand

A gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. From that day on, I carefully followed the teachings of my father and grandparents, insisted on selling real purple sand and never sold fake products for exorbitant profits. Craftsmen should cherish fame as much as they cherish life.

Second, insist on selling good goods

A good purple sand pot mainly depends on two aspects, one is good material, the other is good craftsmanship, and the quality of craftsmanship mainly depends on the mentality of craftsmen. "slow workers can do fine work", slow is also an attitude, in order to pursue the perfection of the process, we have to pay more time cost, I believe that people who really understand purple sand will appreciate this attitude.

3. Insist on telling the truth

With regard to the question between products and prices, I do not quite agree with the saying that "good goods are not cheap", especially in the purple sand industry, where the prices of many purple sand pots have doubled after adding the titles of "skilled workers" and "pure handwork", but the fact is that many friends have been deceived. I am not a master, but I have been a pot for 30 years, and my skill is no worse than that of a master. My original intention of doing this shop is to restore the true price of purple sand.

Insist on selling only real purple sand, firmly restrain chemical pots, and retain the original color of purple sand!

Making purple sand is not only a skill, but also a blessing, a piety, not to be desecrated!

The stale mud must be kept in a dry and airtight environment; the bottom trough of the house has been stale for three years and the bottom trough is clear of mud, which is highly malleable and the pot made is unbreakable.

First of all, do a good job of the body of the kettle, after careful modification, the appearance is as smooth as jade; finishing the pot and handle, do not look at the small parts, it is the finishing touch.

The tidiness of the spout has a direct impact on the airtightness of the pot, so be careful; you can imitate my pot, but not my signature.

The benefits of drinking tea with a purple sand pot

Several methods of identifying True Purple Sand

Generally speaking, the color of the real purple teapot is monotonous but not gaudy. Heavy but not bright, bright tones are often added with oxidized metal, which may have an adverse effect on the body. In addition, there will be shrinkage in the firing process of purple sand teapot, and the shrinkage of different mud is different, and the wrinkles are different.

Pour the freshly boiled water into the kettle and pour it along the body of the kettle, cover the lid. You will see that the water is not flowing down, but is slowly sucked dry. The lid of the kettle is slowly moistened and then slowly sucked dry. This is because purple sand has a double-layer stomatal structure and good air permeability, which can be used as one of the bases for judgment.

Yixing purple sand soil is mainly composed of clay, quartz, mica and so on. These minerals make the purple teapot feel delicate, but not smooth (the difference from porcelain and enamel). The purple sand teapot with smooth touch is either fake mud or has a problem in a certain process, so you should be careful to buy it.

The density of the purple sand teapot is larger, weigh it by hand, there is a kind of heavy feeling, the more inferior the pot, the smaller the density, the more frivolous. If you want to judge the pros and cons of purple sand teapot in terms of importance, you must often play high-quality purple sand teapot and master its sense of light weight.

Boiling and raising pots of purple sand pots

[kettle] A new purple sand pot does not have much luster, is dull, and cannot be directly used to make tea, so the new pot needs to be "boiled" first, and its purpose is to remove impurities and anger from the pot.

First, warm up, rinse the newly bought purple sand teapot inside and outside, remove the dust from the surface, then put it into a pot without oil collapse, and boil it with water of three times the height for 15 minutes, so that the earthy smell and heat of the teapot will be removed.

Second, reduce the heat, put the tofu in the teapot and boil it in double water for 5 minutes. The stone curd contained in tofu has a fire-lowering effect and can decompose the residue of the teapot.

Third, moisturize, cut the sugarcane and put it in the pot. There is no sugar cane, you can put some sugar, and then cook for another 5 minutes. The natural sugar content of sugarcane can moisturize the teapot like never before.

Fourth, rebirth, choose your favorite tea and boil it in a teapot for 5 minutes. In this way, the teapot is no longer a dead thing that is "lifeless". After it has been reborn, it has absorbed the essence of tea, and the first tea has been able to make people's teeth and cheeks fragrant.

[raising a pot] A really good pot is only good mud, good workmanship, and good style is not enough, but also through "raise" and "play", so that the internal structure of the pot changes, the body of the pot is more fine, moist, soft, refreshing, as warm and moist as jade.

Special pot for special use, one pot serving one tea

Because the carcass structure of purple sand is relatively special (double stomatal structure and molecules are arranged in the form of scales), it can absorb tea extract from tea soup (the water absorption rate of purple sand teapot tea set is 1.6% mi 7.05%), which promotes the change of carcass, and the well can emit the smell of tea brewed. A person who loves pots and drinks well. After the purple sand teapot is maintained and the fishy soil is removed, several kinds of tea teapots are used to test the pot. According to their own preferences, and finally decide what kind of tea to brew in this pot, and then it will remain the same, so that "a special pot will serve one tea".

Wipe frequently

In the process of making tea, wipe the kettle body with cotton wet tea towels with tea soup, which can effectively promote the teapot to become clean and tidy. Often get the nourishment of tea, can promote the quality of the teapot to change. Note that when wiping with a tea towel, be careful not to rub it too hard. For some "industrial" and "salivating" shape of the pot, we should pay attention to timely wipe the lower part of the tea. In order to avoid long-term poor maintenance caused by the pot as a whole "wrapped pulp" defects. Carefully wipe the flow of the kettle, the transfer place of the handle, the inner and outer edge of the lid, the kettle button, etc., these "remote places" are easy to accumulate dirt, which will affect the overall maintenance effect of the teapot.

For some special items, we don't make them very often, so we can't guarantee to have them in time. If you need it, please call in advance or make a reservation! Generally speaking, every newly opened pot will be posted on Wechat. Please follow us in time.
