由 Michael Zhan 在丁蜀采购

走进丁蜀的后巷,这里是宜兴陶艺的历史心脏地带,你会发现数十个家庭作坊,黏土仍然用手揉练,并在龙窑中烧制。在深秋的一次采购行程中,Michael Zhan 花了三天走访五间工作室,用放大镜比较杯壁厚度,并用口袋秤称重——他寻找的是一组35ml的品鉴杯,能够均匀保温而不掩盖茶叶的个性。

他选择的工作室由一位第二代陶手经营,这位陶手专门使用老紫砂——风化超过十年的古旧紫砂泥。每只杯都拉坯成型,杯缘修薄以获得干净的唇感,并以还原烧烧成深茄色。在直射光下,泥料中的铁质会显现出微弱的金属光泽。

Michael 拒绝了之前的两批,因为杯底凹槽太厚,导致冷却不均。最终的20组通过了他的检查:重量相同(±2g)、杯缘微外翻不困住香气,以及圈足小到足以放入120ml的盖碗内,让四只杯可以一起温杯。每组均附上一张手写卡片,记录烧制日期与陶手印款——保证这些杯子只会随着茶油累积形成包浆而越用越好。

The leaf, brewed

How zisha cups shape the tasting experience

dry leaf

The porous clay holds residual heat and absorbs astringent compounds — expect a noticeably rounder mouthfeel even before the first steep.

wet leaf

Pre-warm each cup with boiling water for ten seconds; the walls release stored heat gradually, keeping the final drops warm.

liquor

Deep brown interiors frame the tea’s color, making pale liquors look luminous and dark infusions appear deeper.

aroma

Zisha captures aromatic oils steeping after steeping, gently suppressing sharp high notes while amplifying earthy, roasted layers.

taste

Softens brisk edges, rounds acidity, and pushes sweetness to the front — especially with medium-roast oolongs and aged whites.

finish

A velvety drag on the lips; less drying than porcelain, with a faint mineral whisper from the clay.

Brewing

A method, not a recipe.

仅以热水清洗——勿用肥皂。紫砂无釉,经月使用后会养出光泽,微妙地改变茶汤风味。
