【It’s a good time to upgrade and drink premium tea! 】

Although it’s up to you to be frugal when it comes to drinking tea, if you have a rare budget, the editor strongly recommends that you try high-quality Pu’er and rock tea.

Pu'er can be divided into raw tea and cooked tea, especially raw tea. Different tea regions, years, tea-making recipes, tea flavors and aroma styles can vary greatly.

If you want to explore the world of Pu'er, you must first understand the mountain charm of the tea area. Secondly, you need to understand the changes in taste and aroma of Pu'er from new tea to old tea, so that you can find the raw tea that suits you. This process can take a long time, and it does require budget to try more. Taking advantage of the coupons this time, it is definitely a smart choice to try more ancient Pu'er trees from different tea regions, or aged teas.

The editor especially recommends choosing older tea cakes that have been aged for about 15-20 years, because the raw tea at this time is in the golden period of comprehensive transformation, and you can try the most classic layering and texture of aged tea. Rhyme and tea flavor.

If you like to drink tea with a bright aroma, oolong and rock tea are also varieties worth trying. Due to its sparse output and its location in a national nature reserve, Zhengyan rock tea has little human pollution in its growing environment, and its tea quality and price have always been at the premium level.

Rock teas of different varieties and origins have their own characteristics and are worth trying. If you like strong taste, it is recommended to try Matouyan cinnamon or Shuiliandong cinnamon; if you like fruity aroma, you can try Huiyuankeng cinnamon.

[Beautiful Teapot Express · Teapot Users’ Guide to Buying Teapots]

If the editor wants to use consumption coupons, when choosing purple clay teapots, he may focus on new-school art potters or high-quality entry-level works.

Many of the works of new-school art potters are both practical and beautiful, and the artists pay attention to all handwork, high-quality clay, relatively fine workmanship, and relatively novel styles. Although the price is only more expensive than that of national assistant arts and crafts artists. One or two thousand yuan, but the overall cost performance is higher. After weighing various factors, it is more worth buying. While you can enjoy raising pots, the teapot is also quite eye-catching.

If you are a novice, you may be hesitant, "Isn't it necessary to buy a commonly used teapot?" The editor tells you that this idea is not advisable! If you want to find a teapot that is of good quality and easy to use, don’t just go for the cheap price!

Zisha teapots are also works of art with the potential to appreciate in value. There are a group of pot makers in the industry who are highly skilled in making pots and have great potential for appreciation in value. Their works are found in many domestic auction houses. Regardless of the shape, craftsmanship, or aesthetics of handicrafts, they are all very unique, and the works are well-deserved to be regarded as works of art when appreciating them.
 
The most important thing is that works with collectible value must be handmade by pot makers, and the output is rare every year. In the purple sand market, pot lovers have always been chasing their works, and the prices in the second-hand market have increased accordingly every year.
 
The price of a high-quality teapot depends on the potmaker and the quality of the teapot. The entry price ranges from a few thousand yuan to over ten thousand yuan. You may not have the motivation to buy one in normal times, but now is a good time to buy some fancier teapots. I feel good about buying it myself. If the value rises after a few years, will I suddenly feel that collecting teapots is also a profitable thing?

The editor understands that novices want to use some good tea sets, and strongly recommends choosing the Xiaomei Kiln Zhuni Set produced by the brand. You can have a simple tea banquet at one price! Beginners to making tea no longer need to look for teapots and cups.

So why choose a teapot produced by a brand? Because "brand supervision" means that the teapot's professional tea masters are involved in the selection of purple sand minerals, the selection of clay test pieces for coloring, and even the design of the teapot. Not only is the quality of the teapot clay material guaranteed, the teapot craftsmen are also specially selected by the brand.

As the saying goes, "clay, shape, craftsmanship, style, and function" all aspects of the teapot are what we are obsessed with! The small coal kiln set is made by Chen Xianmei, a pot maker who cooperates with the brand. The craftsmanship is exquisite. The pot style is definitely suitable for novices who are new to purple clay pots. It is convenient for pouring tea and easy to maintain. The set includes a pot and two cups, which can be used by one or two people.

As for those who like porcelain, you can check out the tureen series. In recent years, the price of porcelain in Jingdezhen has gradually increased, and hand-painted blue and white bowls with exquisite craftsmanship are rare. The works listed on the official website are all hand-painted, with vivid patterns and elegant charm.

 

If you like to drink Shengpu, the editor would recommend buying a Chai Kiln tureen. Chai kiln tureens are thicker than ordinary tureens and dissipate heat more slowly, allowing them to maintain a high temperature to produce tea flavor and aroma. For raw tea lovers, they are another good choice besides purple clay teapots.
