White handmade Chinese Chaozhou Kettle Engraved Poem Classic Chinese Master Pottery Ceramic Japanese Ceramic Tea Ceremony

This engraved poem white kettle is made by a very experienced craftsman from Chaozhou, China, the kettle is engraved with some poems of Heart Sutra, if you want to perform Gongfu tea ceremony, this kettle would be a great pleasure for you to heat water by a very traditional way and it makes your water softer in the taste.

The performance of a brew of tea is almost determined by how many positions the tea leaves can release in boiling water. Among them, the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved ions in water is the factor that determines the ratio of tea water extracts (theanine, polyphenols, caffeine, etc.). Therefore, Chaozhou kettle multi-porosity and rich combination of ingredients are capable of adsorbing calcium, magnesium and other compounds to purify water and create space for volatilization of tea. That's why we say boiling water after Chaozhou Shadiao will be softer and sweeter.
