We are used to seeing the simple and steady purple clay teapots on weekdays, but when we come across an exquisite and delicate purple clay teapot, we can't help but be amazed.
As one of the classic traditional teapots of Chaoshan Kung Fu tea, the Pan pot has been loved by tea lovers for many years because of its round and cute appearance and childlike innocence. Pan pots are divided into short Pan, medium Pan and tall Pan.
Today, Tongxinshe Teahouse recommends Yixing original ore Zhu Ni "short Pan teapot" which is practical, solid and round, suitable for appreciation.
Zhu Ni has always been regarded as the best clay material, with small quantity and high quality. Due to its low sand content, delicate clay, shrinkage ratio of about 25%, and high molding process difficulty, the finished product rate is not high. After the original ore Zhu Ni is made into a pot, the color is vermilion with a slight orange glow, dense and smooth, which is conducive to aroma enhancement. After a little soaking, the luster will be seen, and the tea-making property is good, which is suitable for brewing Kung Fu tea and oolong tea.
The Pan pot is one of the typical representative types of literati pots. While making the Pan pot short, the overall charm must be grasped.
The pot belly is flat and full, and the pot neck is raised, and the high cover is retained, making the overall small and compact without losing the charm. The folded shoulder line is rounded, and the transition is very natural, showing a sparse and atmospheric charm. The tight top and round bottom shape and the high cover can better gather fragrance.
A round bead pot button is very spiritual, adding a lively and playful feeling. The spout of the pot is slightly curved, and the water flows out in a line, and the water is cut off neatly. The ball hole can filter the tea residue well. The small capacity of 110ML is suitable for two people. It can be held in the palm of the hand. It is very smooth to rub. It is interesting to play with. It presents a deep charm after long-term use.
