Episode 8: Tea and Tea Utensils

Guest: Leung Guohong (Senior teaware collector)

Content: The poet Lu Tong of the Tang Dynasty described a poem about the artistic conception of tea tasting: "One bowl moistens the throat and kisses, and the second bowl breaks the loneliness. Scatter to the pores. Five bowls of muscle and bone clearing, six bowls of Tongxianling. Seven bowls can’t be eaten, but the two armpits feel the breeze.” China has a tea-tasting culture since ancient times. If you want to make a good cup of tea, you need to pay attention to some skills . When the water is boiled, the nature of the tea is stronger than that of the water. Make good use of utensils, utensils are the father of tea. Grasping the ratio of tea and water, correct water temperature, and suitable utensils are the keys to making a good cup of tea.
