The Chinese Teapot
With the popularity of the Chinese teapot for brewing tea, the demand for teapots created a growth in the industry and by the 15th century CE, tea was no longer regarded exclusively for medicinal usage, but the Chinese and Japanese were drinking tea for ceremonial purposes. Chinese scholars and intellectuals engaged in the design of teapots. The "cult of tea" in Japan, led by the artist Sen Rikyu (1522-1591), became a driving force for the artistic style and designs of the Chinese teapot. Cha-no-yu, (“hot water for tea”) ceremony was viewed as an art. This ceremony formed the basis for Japanese Buddhist "Teaism" and served as a natural expression and discipline of zazen meditation The Cha-no-yu ceremony: The host kneels at the door of the teahouse. The guests then kneel before the tokonoma, a shelf-like arrangement that serves as a center for the ceremony. The host brings in the simple tea wares and the guests are given food and sometimes saki. The powdered tea is placed in the tea bowl and covered with hot water. The drink is passed to the chief guest who drinks and then passes the bowl to each guest. Sometimes the host will give away the tea ware, but the bowl would be kept and broken to symbolize the end of the ceremony. In earlier times and even today, teapots detailed with themes from nature or sutras and were considered displays of art. Some Chinese teapots became prized as creative works. The emergence and evolution of teapots has spanned over several hundred years. Tea drinking has now spread South through Asia, Taiwan, Thailand, Burma/Myanmar and the islands of Sumatra and Java in Indonesia. The Chinese teapot is the foundation for great tea and you can only find authentic teapots in certain areas. If you are a tea lover and truly enjoy the real flavor of brewed tea, you can find your teapot at thinkbeijing.com.
