Are You A True Gourmet of Tea? You Should Have Yixing Teapots!


 
Food & Beverages
Yixing teapots are traditional teapots perfect for all people who like drinking green, black, oolong, pu-erh, and white gourmet teas. They say Yixing teapots were frist created in Yixing region of Jiangsu province, China by a monk during the Song Dynasty in the 10th century. Yixing teapots are produced from zisha clay, special clay found in the Yixing region only. Yixing teas are highly appreciated in the whole world due to their unique peculiarities and aroma.

Characteristics of Yixing Teapots:

Numerous modern tea connoisseurs consider Yixing teapots the best kind of teapot. They say that one can receive excellent tea even pouring water into the empty pot if this pot has been used for brewing tea for many of years. The major reason for this is that the porous clay from which Yixing pots are produced - zisha clay – has a peculiarity to absorb the flavor of gourmet tea after every usage. All Yixing teapots are handmade and unglazed for people to enjoy the clay’s attractive color. Besides, it’s better to make tea in unglazed pots. Yixing pots are available in three characteristic colors: cinnamon red, purplish brown and light buff. Mineral pigments added to zisha clay may sometimes change its color and also the three colors of clay may be mixed to produce new colors. Yixing clay contains iron, mica, and quartz. The intensity of the clay’s color depends on the amount of iron in it.

Earlier, traditional Yixing teapots were extremely tiny as they were designed for individual use in combination with tiny cups. The modern market however offers a great variety of Yixing teapots of different shapes and sizes. Such teapots have close-fitting lids to avoid oxidation and to maintain better flavor of your gourmet teas. If you want to check up the quality of a teapot, consider the color of the tea and levels of tea phenol, caffeine, and aminophylline. As it was already researched, in all of these categories, Yixing teapots surpass all styles of teapots available in the market. Besides, Yixing teapots are real masterpieces and can be used as perfect decorations of your home.

As it was earlier mentioned, Yixing teapots may be used for brewing aged pu-erh, oolong, and black gourmet teas. you can also brew green and white teas in Yixing teapots by cooling the water to 85 degrees Celsius before adding it into the pot. Zisha clay has a 4% water absorption peculiarity, that’s why it retains the flavor and color of the tea for such a long period of time. But remember not to wash a Yixing teapot with soap and water, instead just rinse it out with water and let it air-dry.

Another advantage of Yixing teapots is that drinking tea brewed in them is extremely healthy as it adds to your trace mineral intake. Trace minerals play an important role in a healthy diet. Besides, Yixing teapots have a much longer durability in comparison to other kinds of teapots. Even if a Yixing teapot is fired it creating a strong molecular bond by controlled temperatures.

So, enjoy excellent tea with Yixing teapots for many years of your life.
