Talk:Teapot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is extremely biased and POV! When will people learn that Wikipedia is not a vessel for propaganda? This article is even more biased than the Yassir Arafat article. I'm serious. It is an opinion that different types of teas should not be prepared in the same pot (even though that opinion is held by almost everyone, it is still an opinion and should not be presented as a fact).
- It looks fine to me. If you don't agree with the articles, than write down the facts and show it. About the lines that say "different types of teas should not be prepared in the same pot", please state your reasons. I agree with the original author and it is a fact. For common understanding, different types of tea mean tea process in different method, e.g. green tea, white tea, black tea, oolong tea, etc. Mixing this tea is like mixing Cognac with beer and wine.
- By the way, this wiki is not complete. English teapot should be included. Sltan 17 Feb 2005.
I didn't write the above unsigned comment. This article definitely needs work though.
I think what the author was trying to get across was that different types of tea (black, green, white) all require different brewing temperatures to achieve the best results. I assume the reason that iron, silver or pewter is used for black tea is because of the need for higher temperatures. Those types of materials conduct the heat much more quickly.
There should be a discussion of the various types of tea pots available. Some people do buy special pots, like Yixing in order to brew tea. Sometimes a Yixing pot is limited to brewing one specific type of tea because the pot picks up the flavour of the tea. Overtime this can actually add to the enjoyment of the tea brewed in the pot.

[edit] Why Shouldn't One Wash a Teapot?
Re: washing teapots
What's the source of the advice not to wash a teapot? Does the original author or someone else have a reference to this?
re:
That depends on the kind of teapot which you are using.
If you use Yixing purple-sand (ZiSha "紫砂") teapot to brew your green tea or oo-long tea, it's strongly suggested that you should not wash your teapot too carefully. Because the Yixing purle-sand teapot is quite good at absorbing the flavour of tea leaves.

[edit] teapot in the movies
There is a movie, unfortunately I can't remember which, where a sidekick or a confused character suddenly puts his hand to his head and the other arm to form the spout and exclaims "and I'm just a teapot". Does anybody know? RobiBuecheler 15:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
