As a treasure of traditional Chinese tea culture, the purple sand cup carries a profound historical heritage and cultural charm. Opening the cup, as the first step in using the purple sand cup, is not only related to the subsequent experience of tea tasting, but also a kind of respect and inheritance of the purple sand culture. Next, let's walk into the opening journey of the purple sand cup.
1. Preparations.
First of all, we need to prepare some tools, including a clean soft cloth, tea tongs, teaspoons, and tea leaves. At the same time, make sure that your hands are clean so as not to cause contamination to the purple clay cup. In addition, choosing a spacious, bright and clean environment for opening the cup will help us better appreciate and feel the charm of the purple sand cup.
2. Check the purple sand cup.
Before the official opening of the cup, we need to conduct a detailed inspection of the purple sand cup. Observe whether its shape is correct, whether there are defects such as damage and cracks. At the same time, gently tap the body of the cup to determine the degree of sintering by the sound. A high-quality purple clay cup has a crisp and pleasant sound, while a cup that is under-sintered or over-sintered has a dull sound.
3. Clean the purple clay cup.
Cleaning the purple clay cup is one of the important steps in opening the cup. First of all, rinse the inside and outside of the purple clay cup with clean water to remove dust and impurities on the surface. Be careful not to use soap or any detergent so as not to affect the breathability of the purple clay cup and the taste of the subsequent tea soup. Then, wipe the cup with a clean, soft cloth to keep it dry.
4. Inject hot water.
Next, we need to pour hot water into the purple clay cup. The purpose of this step is to allow the purple clay cup to fully absorb water, which is conducive to its air permeability. At the same time, hot water can also play a role in cleaning and disinfecting. Note that the water temperature should not be too high to avoid burning your hands or damaging the purple clay cup.
5. Warm and moisten the tea leaves.
While pouring hot water, we can put the right amount of tea leaves into the cup. When the tea leaves are soaked in hot water, they release an attractive aroma. By warming the tea leaves, it can not only enhance the experience of tea tasting, but also help the purple clay cup to better absorb the tea aroma and form a unique charm.
6. Pour out the tea soup.
After warming the tea leaves, we need to pour out the tea soup. The purpose of this step is to remove impurities and odors from the tea leaves and prepare them for subsequent tasting. Note that the poured tea soup can be used to pour over the purple sand cup body to enhance its moisturizing effect.
7. Repeated operation.
After the above steps are completed, we can repeat the operation of pouring hot water, warming the tea leaves and pouring out the tea soup several times. In this way, the purple clay cup can more fully absorb water and tea aroma, improve its quality and use effect.
8. Dry naturally.
Finally, let the purple clay cup dry naturally. In the process of drying, the purple clay cup will further absorb the moisture and oxygen in the air, which is conducive to its air permeability and the subsequent improvement of the quality of the tea soup. At the same time, avoid direct sunlight and high-temperature baking to avoid damaging the purple clay cup.
At this point, the opening process of the purple sand cup has been completed. Through this series of steps, we can not only make the purple clay cup better exert its air permeability and heat preservation, but also inject a unique tea flavor into it. In the process of tasting tea in the future, this carefully opened purple sand cup will become a mentor and friend for us to taste life and understand nature.
It is worth noting that opening the cup is only the beginning of the use of the purple sand cup. During use, we also need to pay attention to maintenance and cleaning. Wash and dry in time after each use to avoid prolonged soaking and high-temperature sterilization. At the same time, regularly pour and wipe the cup with tea soup to keep it moisturized and shiny. In this way, our purple sand cup can be used better and better, and accompany us to spend one beautiful tea tasting time after another.
