1. Fine and famous green tea for selected tea sets can be brewed in a colorless and transparent glass. At the same time of brewing, you can appreciate the posture of tea slowly absorbing water and stretching, and slowly floating and swimming. Te amo? Interest. As for other famous green teas, besides glass brewing, white porcelain cups can also be used for drinking. But no matter what kind of exquisite and famous green tea is brewed, the teacups should be small rather than big. If it is big, there will be a lot of water and heat, which will make the tea soaked and make the tea lose its green color. Will it also weaken or even produce tea fragrance? Cooked soup? .
High-grade scented tea can be brewed in glass or white porcelain cups to show its quality characteristics, or in bowls or cups with lids to prevent the loss of fragrance; Ordinary low-grade scented tea is brewed in a porcelain pot, which can get an ideal tea soup and keep its fragrance.
Brewing high-grade red green tea, such as Kung Fu black tea, plum tea, roasted green tea, Zhu tea, etc., can be brewed directly in porcelain cups because the smell comes first and the appearance is slightly inferior. Low-grade red green tea has a slightly lower aroma and chemical composition. When brewed in a pot, the water is more and more concentrated, which is beneficial to heat preservation. It can fully leach the contents of tea leaves, obtain an ideal tea soup, and maintain the aroma.
Kung fu black tea can be brewed in a porcelain pot or teapot, and then the tea soup is poured into a white porcelain cup for drinking. Red broken tea is small in size, and it is inconvenient to drink when it is brewed in a teacup. It is advisable to brew with a teapot.
Oolong tea should be brewed in a teapot; Teabags can be brewed in white porcelain cups or pots. It's best to drink iced tea in a glass. In addition, it is advisable to brew black tea, green tea, yellow tea and white tea in bowls.
2. Selection of color of tea set The color of tea set refers to the color of making materials and decorative patterns, which can usually be divided into two categories: cool color and warm color. Cool colors include blue, green, cyan, white, gray and black, and warm colors include yellow, orange, red and brown. Tea sets decorated with multiple colors can be divided into main colors. The selection of tea set color refers to the selection and collocation of appearance color, and its principle is to match with tea. The inner wall of the tea set should be white to truly reflect the color and brightness of the tea soup. The main body of tea set should pay attention to the color matching of pot, cup and cup, supplemented by boat, support and cover, so as to achieve a seamless integration. Finally, based on the color of the main tea set, with auxiliary supplies.
(1). Famous green tea: transparent glass with no pattern, colorless and no cover or uncovered white porcelain, celadon and blue and white porcelain. Bulk tea: single utensils, uncovered, patterned or cool glasses can be used in summer and autumn; In spring and winter, you can cover cups with celadon, blue-and-white porcelain and other cool-toned porcelain. For multi-person appliances, pots and cups with cool colors such as celadon, blue-and-white porcelain and white porcelain should be selected.
(2) Yellow tea milky white porcelain, yellow glazed porcelain, colorful pot cups, bowls and cups with yellow and orange as the main colors.
(3) Black tea: purple sand (white glaze on the inner wall of the cup), white porcelain, red porcelain on a white background, and pots, cups and bowls of various red glazed porcelain. Red broken tea: purple sand (white glaze on the inner wall of the cup) and coffee pot, with orange, safflower and various warm porcelain painted on a white background and a yellow background.

(6) Cover bowls, cups and pot cups of celadon, blue-and-white porcelain, bucket color and multicolored with scented tea.
3. Selection of tea set texture Tea set texture mainly refers to density. According to the characteristics of different tea leaves, choose utensils with different textures to complement each other. High-density utensils can be used to brew light tea because of their low porosity and low water absorption. Such as brewing all kinds of famous teas, green teas, scented teas, black teas and fragrant oolong teas. You can use high-density porcelain or silverware, and the tea fragrance is not easy to absorb when making tea, which is particularly refreshing. Transparent glass can be used to brew famous green tea with clear aroma and convenient appearance and color. And those teas with low aroma, such as Tieguanyin, Narcissus and Pu 'er, are often brewed in low-density pottery pots, mainly teapots. Because of its high porosity and high water absorption, tea leaves can smell its fragrance when brewed, which is particularly mellow. When brewing oolong tea, after using the fragrant cup and tasting cup at the same time, the residual tea fragrance in the fragrant cup is not easy to be absorbed, so you can cover it with your hand, and the fragrance at the bottom of the cup will quickly disperse under the action of hand temperature, thus achieving the purpose of smelling the fragrance. The texture of the appliance is also related to whether it is glazed or not. If white glaze is painted on the inner wall of the original loose pottery, it is equivalent to wearing a protective coat and closing the pores, becoming a high-density porcelain tea set, which can also be used to brew fragrant tea. The water absorption of this glazed pottery is also reduced, and there is no residual tea soup and aroma in the pores. After washing, it can be used to brew a variety of tea, and its properties are the same as porcelain and silver. Unglazed pottery absorbs tea soup and aroma in pores, and the same kind of tea will form tea scale after being brewed for a long time. It can't be used to brew other teas, so as to avoid cross-flavor. It should be used exclusively to make the aroma more and more rich.
