水质

您品尝得到的水——为完美一杯的过滤与矿物质添加

好茶始于好水。我们的滤水壶、加矿石与测试套件,让您能微调冲泡用水,匹配各种茶类——从清雅的白毫银针到陈年普洱。去除杂质,调校理想的矿物质比例,在每一泡中尽显茶汤的风味与香气。

看不见的茶叶

在每一次茶会中,水是无声的伙伴——一片看不见的茶叶,能将茶提升至璀璨的高峰,或将它压平面为平淡、单调的滋味。数百年来,茶人一直痴迷于水源。陆羽的*《茶经》*(公元780年)将缓流山溪的泉水置于河水及井水之上;他写道,最理想的水是从溪流中央取水,那儿水流过洁净沙石的河床。如今,我们的自来水常远不及那些古老理想,含有氯、重金属,或矿物质比例失衡,与茶的自身特质相抗。

现代泡茶水从两方面着手:去除与添加。设计良好的滤水壶能去除异味与污染物,却不剥离所有赋予水体质感与口感的溶解固形物。目标绝非纯水H₂O——那平淡、饥渴的水会把茶喝掉,而不是为茶服务。相反地,我们保留钙、镁、碳酸氢根的基础,这三者构筑起茶叶单宁、香气与甜味的支架。

加矿石让您微调这个支架。较轻的手法适合温和的绿茶与白茶,保留其细腻的鲜味与花香前调。更丰富的矿物质结构——接近武夷山石灰岩过滤的泉水——则能带出岩茶的烘焙矿物深度,或熟普洱的土质暖意。搭配便携式TDS计使用,这些矿石让您能重复掌控水源的总溶解固形物,因此您可以描绘出最爱的瓶装泉水,并在家重现。

对许多严肃的茶人而言,水质校准是最后一大疆界。一旦您尝到以调校适配其特定需求的水所冲泡的熟悉茶款,差异不言可喻:更清澈的回韵,更悠长的余味,以及您过去只在文本中读到的香气突然呈现于杯中。此类别中的工具不是奢侈品——它们是精密仪器,像音乐家调校乐器般,让您将茶带入完美的和谐。

我们的水质调校工具

从精准过滤到矿物质提升,再到即时测试,这些工具帮助您找到所冲泡任何茶的最佳甜蜜点。

A buyer's note

How to choose and use water tools

了解你的基础水质

Start by testing your tap water with a TDS meter. Note the reading and taste the water cold — any chlorine or metallic notes will carry through into the tea.

过滤,而非去除矿物质

A good tea-dedicated filtration jug removes chlorine and particulates while preserving calcium and magnesium. Look for a model that leaves 50–80 ppm of dissolved solids.

矿物质匹配茶类

Use mineral stones to push your water softer (20–50 ppm) for green and yellow teas, moderate (50–100 ppm) for oolongs, and harder (100–180 ppm) for aged pu-erh or liu bao.

每次泡茶都检测

A portable TDS meter is your compass. Take a reading from the filtered water, then after adding stones. Record the ideal numbers for your favourite teas so you can replicate them.

妥善保存

Filtered and mineralised water should be kept in glass or ceramic vessels, not plastic. Use within 24 hours for the freshest taste, and avoid repeated boiling that concentrates unwanted minerals.

避开蒸馏水的陷阱

Distilled and reverse-osmosis water with near-zero TDS tastes flat and extracts tea aggressively, leading to bitter, hollow brews. Always reintroduce some mineral balance before using such water.

Common questions

Asked, answered.

What TDS level should I aim for with green tea?

For most green teas, a range of 30–60 ppm works best. Too high and the delicate umami can turn metallic; too low and the tea feels thin. Adjust in small steps and trust your palate.

Can I just use bottled spring water instead?

Yes — bottled spring water with a known mineral content is a reliable starting point. However, a filtration jug and mineral stones give you control to fine-tune and reduce plastic waste.

How often should I replace the filter cartridge?

Most jugs specify a cartridge life of 4–6 weeks or 150 litres, whichever comes first. For tea brewing, where water quality is paramount, consider changing a little earlier if you notice any off-odours.

Do the mineral stones expire?

Mineral-adding stones can be reused for many months, but they gradually lose their leaching capacity. Refresh them every 6–8 months with heavy use, or when your TDS meter shows a drop, even after a long soak.

Will a TDS meter tell me if my water tastes good?

Only partly. TDS meters measure total dissolved solids, not specific tastes. They are excellent for consistency and calibration, but you still need your senses — smell, taste, and mouthfeel — to judge the final result.

Is filtered tap water safe for gongfu brewing?

Yes, provided the filter is effective against chlorine, heavy metals, and particulates. Filtered tap water often makes a cleaner foundation than many bottled waters, because you can then dial in the mineral profile yourself.

Can I use the same water for all tea types?

While one water can work for many teas, you’ll miss out on subtle distinctions. Harder water can make delicate whites taste soapy, while soft water flattens rock oolongs. Tuning water to tea type is the refinement that separates a good cup from a great one.
