Papa Pot

What is the Papa Pot?

Reason for the Name

Papa pots are large tea pots, in which people put small amounts of tea and leave them to steep for a long period of time. Originally, the Tea Tavern keeper was given the name "grandpa pot", for these types of tea pots, but because the keeper's father would always use the tea pot method of brewing, even asking his children to do the a gaiwan method for him, the name was locally adjusted to "papa pot"; it is papa's preferred method of tea brewing.

How it is brewed for Tea Tavern descriptions?

The image that is provided along with the tea will show the tea pots / kettle pots used.

For grandpa pots, the amount of time the tea is left sitting in warm water is generally indefinite, however for product page purposes, they are left brewing for 30 minutes before a picture is taken.

The pots are generally brewed with 2.5g to 3g of tea per 2 liters. Unless written otherwise, it can be assumed that the water reaches boiling with the tea and the tea pot maintains a warmer temperature, generally around 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
