The ancients said that "water is the mother of tea, and utensils are the father of tea".
Silverware has been a status symbol since ancient times. It has been said in all dynasties that "the silver pot is the most valuable for boiling water, and the silver pot is the most respected for making tea."
People in the world admire silver pots, first of all because silver itself is clean and tasteless, and it is not easy to rust. After being made into a silver pot, "water like silk" can be boiled. Silver pots are used to make tea, the taste will be more delicate, soft, gentle and long, making the taste as sweet and mellow as mountain spring water. It can also extract the essence of tea, enhance the aroma of tea, and wake up the taste of Pu'er and Oolong, and achieve the color, aroma, taste, shape and rhyme of tea.
