Celadon tea sets are suitable for drinking green tea, clear tea, fragrant tea, and pekoe bird dragon. They are all suitable for brewing in pots with higher density. Celadon tea sets are better! In addition to having many advantages of porcelain tea sets, this kind of tea set is also more beneficial to the beauty of the color of the soup when used to brew green tea because of its green color. However, if you use it to brew black tea, white tea, yellow tea, and dark tea, the tea soup will easily lose its original appearance. When using tea utensils, you should mainly appreciate the color, feel and unique cultural connotation of the tea utensils.
Among them, celadon tea sets are most suitable for making green tea. Celadon is better in glaze color, which can highlight the color of tea soup. When brewing green tea, choose clear flower porcelain with a white and thin body, which is conducive to observing the color of the tea soup and dissipating heat. If green tea is not soaked in boiling water for a long time, the soup will appear cooked and the taste will change. Therefore, making green tea requires the tea set to be white and thin to facilitate heat dissipation, and the water temperature should not be too high.
