The Chinese tea culture is broad and profound, among which the purple clay pot occupies a pivotal position. It is not only a simple tool for making tea, but also a symbol of the spirit of the tea ceremony. The purple clay pot can fully reflect the aroma and taste of tea, and is a must-have appliance for every tea person. Before we start making tea, we have to prepare a complete set of tea making tools. This set includes purple clay pots, tea trays, tea cups, tea cans, kettles, water bowls, etc. Among them, the material of the purple clay pot has good air permeability, which can effectively retain the aroma of tea leaves, and is the first choice for making tea. Water is the mother of tea, and choosing the right source is crucial. The ancients said: "On the mountain, in the river, under the well." The best source of water should be mountain spring water, followed by river water, and then well water. In addition, tap water should be avoided for tea brewing, because tap water contains chlorine and other substances, which will affect the taste of tea. 
Before making tea, you first need to warm the purple clay pot. This step not only helps to increase the temperature of the pot, but also allows the tea to better diffuse its aroma. When warming the kettle, pour hot water over the body of the pot repeatedly until the kettle is slightly warm. Throwing tea is a crucial part of the tea making process. The amount of tea to be served depends on the size of the pot and personal taste. Usually, the amount of tea in a pot is 3-5 grams, which can be increased or decreased according to personal preference. When throwing tea, use a teaspoon to gently dial the tea leaves into the pot, and do not use too much force to avoid the tea breaking. Water injection is a technically demanding part of the tea making process. When pouring water, the waterline should be stable, and try to slowly inject water along the perimeter of the pot, so as not to affect the tumbling of tea leaves and the spread of aroma. At the same time, depending on the type of tea, controlling the water temperature is also key. Generally speaking, green tea needs a water temperature of 80-85 and black tea needs a water temperature of 90-100. 
Tea division is a detail in the process of making tea. When dividing tea, it is necessary to pour the tea soup evenly into each cup to show fairness and respect. At the same time, it is also a part of showing tea art skills. When dividing tea, keep the movements smooth and elegant, and try to avoid pouring tea leaves into the cup, which will affect the drinking experience. Tea tasting is the last step in the process of making tea in a purple clay pot, and it is also the most anticipated part. When tasting tea, you must first look at its color, smell its fragrance, and then taste its taste. The process of tasting tea requires the heart to experience the mellow taste and aroma brought by the tea, and feel the tranquility and harmony. 
Through the above seven steps, we can fully appreciate the charm of making tea in purple clay pots. This is not only a display of skill, but also a love and respect for life. In the busy life, you might as well calm down, make a pot of good tea with a purple clay pot, and enjoy the rare tranquility and comfort. In this way, ending the fatigue and hustle and bustle of the day is also a way to enjoy a high quality of life.
