Zisha is classified into several types depending on the location of the deposit and the color after firing. Generally, it has high plasticity, allowing for beautiful shaping of the overall form as well as the details. 【Features】 1. Absorbs impurities and enhances the flavor of tea. It is said that the iron oxide and tannin in Zhuni teapots suppress bitterness and mellow the taste of tea. 2. High heat retention, and it doesn't get hot to the touch when hot water is poured in. 3. The flavor develops with long use. There is a term called "Yang Hu" (nurturing the pot), and with long use, a unique luster appears on the surface, making it beautiful. Also, the inside absorbs the tea's components and strengthens the tea's aroma. 4. Suitable for brewing ripe Pu'er tea, oolong tea, white tea, and black tea. How to Use Zisha Tea Ware: 1. First, pour hot water into the teapot to warm it up. (Warming all the tea ware is fundamental.) 2. Next, transfer the hot water to the tea sea (pitcher) and warm it up. 3. Similarly, warm the teacups (chahai). 4. Put tea leaves into the teapot. 5. Then, pour hot water from a slightly higher position. (So that the tea leaves open up with air.) 6. Close the lid of the teapot and wait for the brewing time. (The guideline for the first infusion is about 10 seconds.) 7. The tea brewed in the teapot should not be poured directly into the teacups, but first transferred to the tea sea to even out the flavor. This is also useful when dividing the tea brewed in the teapot into cups.
