Also we can drink different teas with same Jian Zhan tea cup. We only need to wash it with hot water before we drink another tea. Jian Zhan is fired in a very high temperature, and for the glazed surface, it is difficult to absorb the tea taste and will not influence other teas’ taste. On the contrary, different teas have different trace elements, which is good for forming bright colors.
