# [Grand]Papa Pot Brewing

## 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 large tea pot brewing methods. Keeper's father would always use the tea pot method of brewing, or asking his children to do the a gaiwan method for him. Thus, the name was locally adjusted to "papa pot", as it is papa's preferred method of tea brewing.

## How it is brewed for Tea Tavern descriptions?

The pots are generally brewed with 2.5g to 3g of tea per 2 liters. Assume the water reaches the maximum temperature, then the tea pot maintains a temperature around 150 degrees Fahrenheit as the "keep warm" setting.
