How to maintain a purple clay Dahongpao teapot

External maintenance: Brew tea frequently and wipe the teapot frequently. As the temperature is high during brewing, the pores on the teapot wall will expand slightly. At this time, you can use a cotton towel to wipe the surface of the teapot, so that the microorganisms in the tea are adsorbed in the pores of the teapot wall. Over time, the surface of the teapot will gradually become warm and moist.

Internal maintenance: The key is not to use one pot to brew two kinds of tea. Due to the special pore structure of the purple clay pot, it is good at absorbing tea soup. Only a purple clay pot that brews only one kind of tea can keep the original flavor of the tea soup. After long-term use, tea scale will accumulate on the inner wall of the pot. Even if boiling water is poured into the empty pot, the tea fragrance will overflow.

2. Zisha teapots are not glazed inside or outside, so they have tiny pores, good air permeability, but are impermeable, and have strong adsorption capacity, which is unmatched by ordinary teapots. It can keep the aromatic oil in the tea leaves volatilized by heat to form a fragrant aroma, increase the late acidity of the tea soup, and play a role in astringency and sterilization. Therefore, it can slightly delay the mold and sourness of the tea. The so-called "the longer you stay in the hot summer, the less sour it is" is the reason.

3. Zisha is a porous material with a double pore structure, fine pores and high density. The wall of a Zisha teapot has a certain porosity, and the teapot is easy to absorb tea juice. Do not brush the inner wall, and there will be no odor.

4. The longer the purple clay teapot is used, the brighter and more elegant it becomes. The purple clay teapot will become more shiny and lovely due to stroking and wiping. By brewing tea and taking care of the teapot, the purple clay teapot's own beautiful texture will be more evident, and it will be treasured by people of the time.
