For brewing tea, in addition to purple clay and ceramics, silverware is also a good choice.
Today, Tongxinshe Teahouse brings a "喜上眉梢/ Happy Silver Pot" handmade by Hongji Treasure
The history of silver pots in China is very long. Since the Tang Dynasty, silver teapots have been used by princes and nobles, and have continued for thousands of years and have always been respected. Lu Yu said in "The Classic of Tea": "It is made of silver, which is very clean, but it is involved in luxury. It is elegant and clean, but if it is used constantly, it will eventually return to silver", and Xu Cishu described in his book "Tea Notes" that "Tea is best if it is not affected by other air, so silver is first and tin is second". After that, silver pots were spread to Japan along with the Central Plains tea ceremony and have been used to this day.
The reason why silver pots have been used for thousands of years and are still respected today is that their excellent practicality is an important reason. Compared with "sand soil, porcelain brittleness, iron rust", silver, a noble and clean vessel that is clean and odorless, cleans water and is sterile, is particularly suitable for tea, and can be called the top match.
Silver kettles are not only clean and odorless, but also have stable thermochemical properties and are not easy to rust, so they will not let the tea soup be contaminated with odor. In addition, silver kettles will release silver ions when boiling water, remove impurities, miscellaneous flavors, and bacteria in the water, making the water soft and thin.
The so-called "silk water" in ancient times refers to the water boiled in a silver kettle, which is soft, smooth, and like silk. Tea brewed with "silk water" has a better taste, soft and delicate, soft and sweet, less astringent, long, harmonious and warm, which can interpret the charm and soup feeling of the tea more vividly.
As long as there is one milligram of silver ions in each liter of water, it is enough to kill most of the bacteria in the water; at the same time, silver ions will not damage the body's own cells. Therefore, the water boiled in a silver kettle is not only sweet and soft, but also clean and healthy. In addition to the improvement of water quality, silver itself is also an excellent heat conductor. Using it to make a kettle will also make boiling water faster and more efficient.
This hand-made hammered handle mercury kettle is made of 9999 pure silver, handmade with exquisite craftsmanship, giving you an excellent tea experience. 1100ml large capacity, suitable for most occasions.
Joy is the most positive emotion in everyone's heart, just like a ray of light, soothing life and emotions; magpie, as a symbol of joy, "hearing the sound is a good omen", is also a symbol of spring returning to the earth. As one of the traditional auspicious patterns in China, there are many works on magpie themes in bronze mirrors, brocades, calligraphy and paintings in the Tang Dynasty; works of magpies and plum blossoms are also aptly praised as [joy on the eyebrows].
