Tea and water

If you want to drink good tea, you not only need the quality of tea, but also need to find good water. The influence of water is very great, which not only affects the taste, but also affects the development of tea itself, and even affects the health of tea drinkers. Ancient people once because drink a good tea, thousands of miles to find good water!

The ancient tea

First of all, the water for tea must be clean and healthy. Some tea friends in order to pursue the real mountain spring water, look for famous mountains and rivers everywhere, take the essence of heaven and earth, use mountain spring water to boil tea, although there is no pollution but must not ignore the microorganisms in the water, no matter what water needs to be heated to drink.

In addition, another important indicator to measure the sweetness of spring water is whether it has sweetness, which is not as obvious as eating sugar, but just like the sweetness of maltose in eating steamed bread. This is mainly because of the mineral-rich taste of mountain spring water. Sweet mountain spring water must be mineral-rich water.

We often hear that some well water is very good, also have sweet taste, in fact, in the ranking of water, well water is the lowest water, followed by river water, the best to number the mountain water. Lu Yu, a tea sage in the Tang Dynasty, made a detailed study and taste of all kinds of water, and recorded it in detail in the Book of Tea.

Among all the springs, the Guyan Spring in Lushan Mountain is the most suitable for making tea, and the Huishan Stone Spring in Wuxi, Jiangsu ranks the second. It is said that the emperor of the capital sent his eunuchs all the way to Jiangsu to fetch the spring. It is estimated that the first spring in the world had not been discovered at that time.

Hubei Lanxi stone water ranked third, it is said that when Wang Anshi arranged Su Dongpo to take the spring, Su Dongpo with river water instead, Wang Anshi saw through.

The water quality of Luyu Spring in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province was also very good, and was named the fourth best spring in the world by Lu Yu. Then the question arises, why did Lu Yu name the fourth best spring in the world after himself? In fact, the ranking between the springs is not according to the sweet Chengdu points, strictly according to the discovery of the sooner or later to points, although the water quality is good or bad, but more join the feeling that.

In today's society, some tea people like to collect good tea and famous tea, but in my opinion, they should collect the world's high-quality spring water. Although it is more difficult to collect spring water, the pursuit of water can be regarded as the real pursuit of tea culture, and only in this way can they achieve the perfection.

Understand the essence of tea, each taste of different tea flavor

As we all know, tea culture has been circulated in China for thousands of years. The specific data is located in the Shennong period more than 4,000 years ago. China is the birthplace of tea culture, and it reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty and was highly respected. But for many people these days, is it really tea? How many steps does it take to drink tea?

Sitting with friends and drinking tea, discussing the sales of tea culture, here, or sad, because as a beverage industry, other sales like cola, milk, etc. far exceed tea, which may also depend on the special form of tea drinking. However, tea drinking can enter every household and become an indispensable part of life.

Said that drinking tea habit, most people is follow one's inclinations, think how to drink how to drink, but usually only suitable for free time more retired people, for those of us busy with work, my rule is three cups of tea a day, this three cups of tea a cup of can't be little: get up a cup, noon meal a cup, a cup before sleep.

I have studied the habits of tea drinkers carefully. If I see others drinking tea, or see teacups and tea leaves, I will feel uncomfortable without making a pot. This addiction to tea is the same as the addiction to alcohol. People addicted to drinking tea generally master the correct order of drinking tea. Only by grasping the way of drinking tea can they taste the flavor of tea.

When it comes to how to taste tea, I compare it to a word "taste". The key points of tea tasting are in these three mouths.

The first one

The tea starts to drink the first sip, which needs a small sip. From the point of view of physics, first of all, you need to understand the temperature of the tea in the cup. If the first sip is too big, won't it be all spit out? Once you burn your tongue, the next few cups of tea won't taste very good.

Grasp the temperature of the first bite, but also to the water temperature control, brewing water degree, how long to wait, what is the temperature of the entrance, this is exquisite. In addition to the water temperature, the first sip of tea can fully taste the quality of tea, about the taste in the first sip is the most clear, is also the most unforgettable.

The second article

It is no longer necessary to observe the color of the tea soup. Instead, it is mainly about the aroma of the tea and the sweetness of the tea soup. This process is usually carried out in the middle part of a cup of tea, which is also the time when the quality of tea is most tested.

The third article

This is the last stage of tea tasting, we should drink it all, let the aroma of the tea in the mouth all spread, and refreshing, good tea usually can bring us a refreshing after effect, not only can quench our thirst, the most important is not to let people forget it. This product is the finishing touch, this product carries the hope of tea people for a cup of tea, but also carries all the missions of a cup of tea.

Learning to taste tea is not so complicated as imagined. The important thing is to follow one's will, and then the meaning of tea ceremony can be tasted for my use.
