Why is purple sand tea expensive? What are the stresses in ancient times?

The reasons why purple sand tea is expensive are as follows:

First: the stock of purple sand is very small, and things are rare.

In fact, there are not many purple sand raw materials on the market now, and there will always be inheritance in the market? Things are rare? The principle of. As long as it is scarce, its value will be higher. The raw materials of purple sand plummeted, and the number of purple sand pots that can be made was limited. Therefore, the price of teapot on the market is more and more expensive, and there are many fake purple sands on the market.

Second: the teapot has strong water absorption and long tea fragrance.

Purple sand is a kind of material with good water absorption. In the process of making tea, the fragrance of tea will penetrate into the tea body. After a long time, tea rust will form on the pot body. There are many small pores in the internal structure of purple sand, so in the process of making tea, the body of purple sand pot will absorb a lot of fragrance. Tea rust is much more, so you don't need to put tea leaves in the future, and the teapot can release a lot of tea fragrance.

Moreover, due to the existence of small bubbles in purple sand, it also gives the teapot a better sealing effect. Tea leaves are soaked in the teapot to form a natural sealing state, so the teapot has better heat preservation effect than ordinary teapot. Even if you don't have time to drink the tea in the teapot, it won't be cold for a short time, and the tea fragrance can be firmly locked in the teapot.

In ancient times, making tea was also very particular. The tea in the king's house is made of dew. Dew is sweet, but it is troublesome to collect. There are eunuchs in the palace who specialize in dew collection. Every morning, they go to the imperial garden to watch, and then collect all the dew drop by drop. Making a cup of tea for the king may take all morning.

Then you need to wash the tea before making it. Porcelain teacups are generally used in palaces, and the insulation effect is not as good as that of teapots. So in ancient times, if the king didn't have time to drink tea, the eunuch would quickly change a cup of hot tea for the king after the tea was cold, and always pay attention to the temperature of the tea.
