From the Tang Dynasty to the present, changes in tea drinking methods have brought continuous innovation to water boilers. Different materials, colors, and shapes of water boilers will produce different aesthetics and feelings on the tea mat.
Tea friends who pay attention to the aesthetics of tea affairs mostly choose earthenware pots to boil water, adding artistic conception to the tea mat and also creating a Zen atmosphere in their hearts. Today, Tongxin She Teahouse recommends a limited edition "Yun Po kettle" to everyone. There are two styles with capacities of 550ml and 750ml.
Although boiling water with an earthenware pot is not as fast as an instant electric kettle, it is more popular in creating an artistic conception. It adds a sense of simplicity to the tea mat. Beauty needs to seep into people's hearts slowly. In the fast-paced life, sitting around a tea stove with three or five friends, tasting tea, enjoying the scenery, and chatting about rural life can be a pleasure.
The beauty of simplicity and openness in tea mat design lies in "using the few to represent the many". Simple and elegant tea utensils are used to express boundless tea meaning. The formal beauty and visual beauty on the tea mat are best when simple and clean. Try to avoid messy colors and exaggerated decorations as much as possible. The kettle also needs to be coordinated and matched with the overall tea mat. This pot complements the tea mat. The traditional teapot with a handle has a round and full shape. The semicircular shape of the pot body and the handle is harmonious and unified. The lines and plain colors give people a gentle and elegant aesthetic feeling, suitable for creating an atmosphere without edges and corners in tea ceremony.
Tea affairs are a kind of spiritual practice in life. The process of slowly boiling water in an earthenware pot allows us to learn to meditate and patiently wait for the opportunity and occurrence of things. Calm, stirring, boiling, waiting for the leisure fun of the tea soup bubbling. The room is filled with a dense atmosphere, and the heart also gradually calms down.
The porous structure of earthenware pots has good air permeability. The process of boiling water is also a process of softening water quality. In cold weather, brewing and boiling tea with earthenware pots is even better. It can absorb the storage aging smell of old tea and make the tea soup taste softer and mellow.
To brew a good bowl of tea soup, the brewer needs flexible control of the water line. Earthenware pots are lighter than other materials of water boilers. Especially for women, it is easier to adjust the thickness and height of the water line.
