One of the joys of using a purple clay pot is maintaining the pot. Some teapots are suitable for delicate brewing, while others are suitable for casual maintenance. As the teapot is used and soaked for longer, the teapot will emit a warm and moist feeling from the inside to the outside, and the color will become more stable. Today I will show you some ways to raise pots dirty~

Zang Yang does not mean brewing casually!

When it comes to dirty teapots, many people think that not cleaning the purple clay teapot after use and leaving tea stains all over the teapot is dirty teapots. This is not the case! The meaning of "suitable for dirty care" means that even if there are tea stains on the surface of the teapot, it will not affect the appearance and look, but will highlight the unique style of the teapot.

In order to avoid the formation of tea stains and affecting the appearance of the teapot, the tea maker will use a tea towel or a pot care pen to wipe the tea soup evenly on the pot body. Due to the unique shape of some teapots, the tea soup adheres to the body of the pot along with the texture. As time goes by, the texture will gradually darken, adding a bit of rustic charm to the teapot.

The preferred pot model for viscera maintenance: Gongchun

The first pot model that is suitable for the cultivation of dirty organs is Gongchun. As the first teapot in the history of purple clay teapots, the Gongchun teapot is created to imitate the shape of an old tree head. Its antiquity and simplicity are its greatest features. There are some tea stains on the body of the pot, which further highlights the charm of the spring pot. The uneven surface and unique texture of Gongchun are conducive to the adhesion of tea stains.

 

How to nourish the spring?

Remember the first principle of keeping a pot: pay attention to hygiene. No matter what style of pot care you use, it is not recommended to leave tea leaves and tea soup in the pot overnight to soak. Tea leaves and tea soup are both organic matter and can easily breed bacteria. Don’t let your beloved teapot become a breeding ground for bacteria!

It is not difficult to nourish the viscera for spring. You just need to use the teapot according to the normal steps, nourish the teapot with tea soup, and clean the inside and outside of the teapot with hot water after use. There is no need to wipe it specially. Just do it as you go. Tea stains will naturally penetrate into the texture of the spring. The effect of nourishing the internal organs.

Editor's actual test: Comparison before and after Zang nourishment

The editor specially found a Gongchun. Although the new Gongchun can still feel the simple shape before soaking, it lacks a bit of charm, like a fledgling boy. It has its own posture but lacks the feeling of experience.

However, as the editor used the teapot, the tea stains began to bring different colors to the teapot. The color of tea stains gradually appears on the concave and convex parts of the teapot, gradually developing the charm of a simple spring offering. When comparing the new products, the feeling is completely different!

The above is the editor’s introduction to pot models suitable for dirty care. In addition to spring planting, other bionic devices such as tree stumps and tree galls are very suitable for soil cultivation.
