Drinking directly from a zisha Teapot, that's how my grandfather did it when I was a child. That small zisha teapot was his exclusive item; he would sip slowly and leisurely.

But many people haven't carefully considered this question: Can you really drink directly from a zisha teapot?

Firstly, everyone knows that zisha Teapots have adsorptive properties. If you drink directly from the spout for a long time, it will become tainted with saliva and salts, which is actually unhygienic.

Secondly, another pleasure of Drinking Tea from a zisha teapot is nurturing the pot. Watching your favorite pot become increasingly lustrous over time is a very satisfying experience.

However, if you drink directly from the spout for a long time, that area of the pot will become unevenly polished.

Due to the tainting by saliva and salts, that part of the spout becomes discolored, which is a great pity for a cherished teapot.

Furthermore, drinking directly from the spout can easily cause burns.

If you pour the tea into a cup, you can sip it carefully with your lips.

If you drink directly from the spout, a moment of inattention could result in scalding hot tea entering your mouth.

Indeed, in the past, many people drank directly from the spout, but most of them had old habits and used the teapot primarily for drinking, without much concern for nurturing the pot, so there was nothing wrong with that.

However, we do not recommend doing this, as even if the teapot is for personal use, if it is not cleaned regularly, it remains unhygienic.

Some teapot enthusiasts might think, “I just like drinking freely, I enjoy drinking directly from the spout. Is there so much fuss about drinking tea?”

That's right, whether or not you drink directly from the spout boils down to one word: Etiquette.

Playing with a teapot and drinking tea are activities that should be done freely and spontaneously, but they should not be careless or haphazard. Some etiquette is necessary.

If you really must drink directly from the spout, then you must remember to clean it thoroughly after use. This is for the sake of hygiene when drinking tea. However, it can be foreseen that the pot will certainly become discolored.

So we suggest that if you still have this habit, you should change it as soon as possible.

Life requires a sense of ceremony, and the process of brewing tea at the tea table is also conducive to cultivating the mind and spirit. Friends who enjoy drinking directly from the spout might want to give this a try.
