蓋碗和普洱茶

Gaiwan and Pu'er tea

When brewing newly bought Pu'er tea, what kind of tea set will you use to enjoy your first tea tasting? We recommend using jars with porcelain lids.


This tea set is made of porcelain and is produced in Jingdezhen, located in Jiangxi Province in northeastern China. The material of this kind of porcelain is quite dense and will neither absorb nor increase the aroma of tea. It is the tea brewing vessel that best displays the true flavor of tea, which is why many people like to use a porcelain tureen to test their first cup of Pu'er tea.


When using a porcelain tureen, the tea must be poured quickly because the difference in pouring time will have a great impact on the flavor of the tea. Additionally, using a porcelain tureen allows you to observe the tea leaves and how they open up after each brew.


There are also other tea-making vessels available, such as Yixing teapots and Ru kiln covered jars. However, compared to porcelain tureens, these tea set alternatives are made of airy materials that can cause changes in tea flavor. When brewing newly bought Pu'er tea, it is not recommended to use Yixing teapots and Ru kiln covered teapots.


Not only is it important to know about good tea, but it is equally important to know the best tea sets for making tea.
