The beginning of the tea business is often to boil a pot of water.
What I bring today is a "Soda Glazed Teochew Kettle", a classic kettle with beams, warm and simple, simple and practical.
This Chaozhou kettle is made of high-quality raw ore clay and fired at high temperature. It not only retains the microporous characteristics of pottery, but also has a density closer to that of porcelain than other pottery pots, so it is not easy to absorb taste.
The body of the pot is covered with soda glaze, which is a ceramic firing method evolved from salt glaze. The special gas formed by the evaporation of soda forms a vitreous glaze layer on the surface of the ceramic body. It is more resistant to dirt and easy to care for.
The lifting beam is tall and handsome, easy to handle and prevent scalding, the body is thick and round, plain white and quiet, the tea table is moderately high, the spout is curved and small, the water flows smoothly, and the water is cut off naturally. It can be used on electric stove, charcoal stove and gas stove.
茶事的開端,往往就是煮好一壺水。
今天帶來的是一把「蘇打釉潮州煮水壺」,經典的提梁壺,溫潤古樸,簡約實用。
這款潮州煮水壺,精選上等原礦陶泥,經高溫燒制而成,既保留了陶的微細孔特性,又比其它陶壺更加接近瓷的密度,不易吸味。
壺身施以蘇打釉,蘇打釉是由鹽釉演變而來的一種陶瓷燒制方法,在燒制過程中,當素坯達到一定溫度後,向窯爐內投放蘇打粉或噴射蘇打水,用蘇打蒸發時所形成的特殊氣體,使陶瓷坯體表面形成玻璃質釉層,壺身色釉素淨雅致,溫潤古樸,正是時下流行的簡約審美,且蘇打釉潤澤的釉層,也使壺身更耐髒,易於打理。
提梁高挑俊秀,拿取方便防燙,壺身敦厚圓潤,素白沈靜,茶席配適度很高,壺嘴彎曲小口,出水順暢,斷水自然,輕鬆應對日常煮水需求,且好上手,用時短,在電爐、炭爐、燃氣灶上均可使用。
