The mother of tea for the tea water with good water

Friends often ask me: "When you get this brew tea is very fragrant, ye back on the lukewarm?" Faced with this question, I have to introduce some thin. Tea has a spirit, tea to heart. Steep the tea, in addition to tea and the art, the mood is good or bad, pros and cons of the environment, the choice will affect the tea utensils taste. Of course, affect the taste of tea is the main reason for the choice of the water. Today, Xi Xiang Tea House on friends and readers to talk about tea and water, tea, people in love, I hope to inspire.

Tea with good water

Tea with good water, Ming Da-fu, "Plum Blossom Cottage conversation by writing", he stated: "Bedford tea in water, eight of the tea, the event is water, tea is also very much; eighth of the water, try tea-tenths , tea, only eight. "visible water quality can directly affect the quality of tea. Water quality is not good, can not correctly reflect the tea's color, smell and taste, in particular a greater impact on the taste of tea. Therefore, the history there, "Longjing Tea and Tiger Water," "Dream the top mountain tea, the Yangtze river water," said. Name spring with tea, the United States on Canada-US.

In modern life, high-end home, Dragon, Monkey Quebec, Mao Feng tea, etc., if you do not pay attention to the choice of water will make quality compromised, resulting in a waste on a great pity, because the hard-earned cup of tea.

Not only is the assessment of tea master Lu Yu, the water Tasting is also very accurate. Lake prefectural governor Li Jiqing documented to Weiyang (that is today's Yangzhou) and Lu Yu Encounter. Li Jiqing been dumping Mulu Yu, and Lu Yu said, "You are good at tea, world famous, where the Yangtze Jiang Nanling water they are particularly good, really very rare." Command sergeant holding a water bottle then by boat to the river to fetch water Nanling. Yu, Sergeant water while the time to put a halt all kinds of tea utensils 11. Short while the water arrived. Lu Yu, the water surface of a wooden spoon Young said, "This water Daoshi Yangtze River water, but not Nanling section, as if the Pro shore water." Sergeant said, "I deeply Nanling boat, many people saw, not false." Lu Yu said nothing, put that bottle, tossed away half of the water, then water scoop a look, said: "This is Nanling water." Sergeant was shocked, and hurried confession: "I came back from Nanling water to the shore when the boat sloshing due to Akira out of half a bottle of water, fear not enough, then fill with water from the shore, do not want to scholars in the light of this gods. "

Tea water

Select the "living" and "resigning", "clear", "light"

China since ancient times is very particular about tea brewing techniques, and accumulated rich experience. Lu Yu, the "tea" that summed up: "The water, mountains and rivers, the river, the well water the next."

Tea and water, comes as the spring is better. In natural water, spring water cleaner, less impurity, transparent, less pollution, water quality is best.

Stream, river water and river water flows all year round such as, for tea is also not less.

Well water is groundwater, the suitability of tea, can not be generalized. Some well water, sweet water, tea is good water. A water layer of deep groundwater protection, less pollution, clean water, while the shallow groundwater vulnerable to ground contamination, poor water quality, so good deep than shallow wells. The city's well water, contaminated more and more salty, not tea; and rural well water, less pollution, water quality is good, suitable for drinking.

Rain and snow, the ancients as "Tianquan" Qing Cao Xueqin in the "Dream of Red Mansions", "yu tea cage Green Hut" a Huizhong, is portrayed a resounding success. But with modern industrialization and urbanization, resulting in the worsening pollution, the city, city of rain and snow are not as tea and water.

Water, usually through artificial purification, disinfection treated river or lake. Where drinking water to China's Ministry of Health set health standards for tap water, are suitable for tea. But sometimes using excessive water chloride disinfection, odor heavy, with the tea, seriously affecting the quality. In order to eliminate chlorine, tap water can be stored in the tank, standing one day and night, to be natural escaping chlorine gas can be used to boil the tea, the effect will be quite different.

Select tea water must also be understanding of the water hardness. Natural water can be divided into two kinds of hard water and soft water. Hard water contains more calcium and magnesium ions, and water hardness may affect the solubility of active ingredients of tea. Thus, soft water solubility of active ingredients in tea, hence the tea Sauvignon; while the hard water contains more calcium, magnesium and minerals, tea in the low solubility of active ingredients, so tea and tasteless, and even tea into a dark brown, or even float a layer of "rust oil."

To sum up, tea and water stress "live" and "resigning", "clear", "light" products for the living water that is water, water, sweet taste to the water to clean the water is soft water.

Therefore, the selection of suitable water very particular, but to consider their own economic conditions. In daily life, conditional choice qualified, have tea and mineral water brand. Relatively tight economic conditions, and after treated water is ideal water for tea.

Hot water tea selection, "the second boiling"

Hot water tea, both history and immediate significance. On the water, tea, Lu Yu, who is the first proposed a three-boiling, said: "The boiling, such as fish head for a boiling micro audio; rim such as springs for the two boiling Lianzhu; Teng wave Gulang three boiling." Means that when boiled to the beginning of boiling, the fish emerge as the size of the bubble head, a little micro sound, is a boil; then along the bottom edge of the teapot as the springs emerge as bubbles Lianzhu keep up for two boiling; last pot boiling up the whole surface of the water, such as rolling waves for the three boiling. Cook too far, Tom lost the sex, not drinking. Lu Yu, the process water is divided into three specific stages of the promotion of tea as the Tang Dynasty, on the deepening Song, Ming and Qing dynasty tea Kam-water awareness, the realization of tea to find rhymes, and enhance the artistic conception, rich in culture have played an important role in content, are still famous tea Kam water.

However, in real life, most use electric kettle boils water, the size of their firepower has been configured according to best design, operation ease, but to grasp properly the second time in boiling water, they need to operate carefully. Some aimed for boils water when the "three boiling," Consciousness not strong enough, so the water kept boiling, which is very good habit, so not only reduces the degree Xianshuang of tea, but drinking is not conducive to health. In fact, friends who drink tea regularly have to understand, not boiling water with tea of course not, but with a "big Tao with people," or more complex water burn tea, would become dark tea color, astringency increased. This is because the water produced more nitrite and residual material, long-term consumption of health hazards. So, with particular emphasis on: Hot water to boiling fire emergency, do not slow fire slow cooked with water, "the second boiling" tea best.
