去哪里买 | Where to Buy

选购要点 | Buying Tips

1. 紫砂壶看"出水"是否流畅，壶盖是否严密 | Check if the zisha pot pours smoothly and the lid seals tight
2. 瓷器看底部是否有窑裂或气泡 | Inspect porcelain bottoms for kiln cracks or bubbles
3. 套装要确认件数齐全（很多套装含6杯）| Verify all pieces are included (many sets come with 6 cups)
4. 让店家示范泡一泡——好壶泡出的茶味道不一样 | Ask the shop to brew a demo — good pots make a noticeable difference

小贴士 | Tips: 如果要带上飞机，茶具属于易碎品，建议放进托运行李并要求泡沫包装。手提行李液体限制不影响空壶。 For flights, pack tea sets in checked luggage with foam wrapping. Empty teapots in carry-on are fine — liquid restrictions only apply to filled containers.
