What are the product features of Puning Guizheng Camellia Leaf Jar?

Guizhengshan tea pottery jars come in various colors and specifications, with the jar body painted with patterns of green grass, mountains and waters, peonies, flowers and birds, etc. The tea pottery jar is in the shape of a standing cone, with a thin bottom, wide shoulders, long neck, and a flat dome lid. It contains a double layered lid with double circular walls inside and outside the lid. The inner ring tightly fits the jar mouth, and the lid is loose but not breathable. It can store tea for ten to thirty years without deterioration, and tea has the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat. It is small and exquisite, with wide toes and shoulders, a long neck and small mouth, and a flat dome lid. There are inner and outer double ring walls in the lid. When the lid is put on, the inner neck wall of the inner ring of the lid is at the can mouth, and the outer ring wall is outside the can mouth neck, commonly known as the lid with a lid. After putting on the cover, with a touch of your hand, the cover will shake and loosen, but it is not sealed. But as long as you open the can you just bought and dry it in the sun, or put a few pieces of charcoal on fire to dry it, then clean it with a dry cloth (avoid washing water), stir fry the tea leaves that do not spoil, fill it up, put the lid on it casually, and place it in a clean place. This way, it can be stored for 10-20 years while maintaining its quality. If you think the lid is loose and leaking air, and seal it tightly with cloth or paper, the effect of storing tea will be counterproductive, and it will soon spoil. The reason why the Guizheng Camellia Leaf Jar has a good storage effect is due to scientific reasons, but the main reason is that the soil here is suitable for making this jar, followed by the traditional handmade art with a long history and the superb firing skills of over 1000 degrees.

How did the history of Puning Guizheng Camellia Leaf Jar come about?

? In the late Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the 20th century, Ji Guohong, a native of Guizhengshan, had no other means of livelihood and went abroad to make a living. Before leaving, he placed three pounds of hand fried tea in a pottery tea jar and placed it on the roof of his home. Time flies by quickly, and the young and old leave home. After more than thirty years, when Lao Ji had the opportunity to return to his hometown, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the tea can in the attic was still there. When he lifted the lid, he found that the three pounds of inferior tea from thirty years ago had a fragrant aroma, even better than before. The Guizhengshan tea jar has since become an excellent tea storage jar for tea lovers. Many tea lovers from other places have been searching for this jar without hesitation.
