Tang Lu Yuzhuan in writing "Tea Classic" before, compound of China's ancient history, has been well documented on the tea things
China is the first discovered tea and use tea country. Tang Lu Yuzhuan in writing "Tea Classic" before, compound of China's ancient history, has been well documented on the tea things. For example: the study of history in the tea, often mentioned in ancient times to the Shen Nong: "Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, Japanese case of 72 drugs, get the solution of Tu." Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs is widely circulated in China, affecting a deep ancient legend, which in the "Historical Records • Three Sovereigns of the mind", "Huainanzi • Revised service training" and other books were written. So, what times Shen Nong, what kind of people? According to "Ban Gu" said: Shen Nong Times is "only knew his mother, I do not know his father," the matriarchal clan society, mankind has entered a new stone was the heyday of the original animal husbandry and agriculture has become more developed, this is the legend times in the Shen Nong. Shen Nong is representative of this period the ancestors. "Shen Nong Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, case of 72 day drug ... ..." is really a legend, but if it sums up the life of primitive people long experience of struggle, but the deification of a credit concentration in the Shen Nong, and blameless. As the primitive society tea detoxification, is consistent with prevailing social reality, and even to people today, we think there are some scientific basis. If the corollary: In China, the discovery and use of tea started in the original matriarchal society, so far, five or six thousand years of history.
Chinese tea varieties are numerous, almost all the world over a cup of tea types in China. The name of the tea very much, there will be thousands of these statistics down, but it is difficult to complete. Most of the tea is very nice name, just read there is the desire to drink.

Will be tea, does not mean that will enjoy the tea, but will enjoy the tea to drink tea, can only detect their Jia Miao, and thus to the highest realm of tea. enjoy the tea, from the present perspective, consider tea to be a name or two to see shape and color of tea three trial aroma and taste. tea shape and color performance, can infect human visual cells produced a rich association. "Tea", saying: "drink a thick tea, loose tea, tea late, those tea cakes" Note the shape of the ancient tea, there are many, and now the shape of the tea is full of strange things. on the loose tea made with flat, the needle-shaped, curled shape, particle-shaped, circular, powdery, flower shape, etc., made on the pressed tea, there are cylindrical, circular, bowl shaped, square and so on. different shapes of tea have the same color, there are different color, from the appearance of tea look, with yellow, black, green, red, and so on. Therefore, some called white tea, black tea and some name, some called green tea, black tea, etc. Some call. tea brewing, the shape changes, almost restored Tea raw materials natural state, especially tea, tender, fine processing, shoots into flowers, the tea in the slim, graceful, even worse, because Yatou fat, tea leaf tea in a few in a few Shen floating, like swords and guns everywhere. the color of tea in tea movement slowly develop color, Deep and many of the tea form 1000 Yen million colors: red, green, yellow ... ... the same tea, because of different levels, producing different , tea-picking season varies, processing of small differences, and even used tea, water quality differences will affect the color of tea. and sniff products Flavored tea is the essence of tea appreciation. tea taste good or bad, mainly depends on the quality of tea high and low, and quality of different varieties of tea taste different. enjoy the taste of tea, mainly by the tongue, so to enjoy the taste of good tea should make full use of the tongue senses, especially the use of the most sensitive part of the tongue, that tongue, to enjoy natural nature of tea.

Once bought a fake so-called gourmet tea, buy tea were taken in the angry feelings can be imagined. Therefore, when you want to buy the highest grade of tea, be sure to carefully considered, must not lightly.
Need tea use and similar shape to sell so-called tea, no more than two practices.
1. Is a superb tea with dried tea shape similar to the lower level or ordinary tea tea tea selling bogus.
Such as Longjing tea, their predecessors had, "the beauty of tea is planting Zhejiang Longjing" praise, because it is known as "the color green, cooks, sweet, form the United States," called the four great tea, Longjing tea contains more amino acids, polyphenols, chlorophyll, vitamin C and other components, Longjing tea the well-known tea can be described as superb. Real Longjing tea, smooth flat appearance, hidden buds cents, dried green tea color Xianrun, after brewing bud erect, lifelike, bright green of its liquor color, fresh aroma of high long mellow taste of Gan Shuang, left cheek teeth after drinking aromatic and pleasant the heart, is the Longjing tea, and "Lion Peak Dragon", "Mei dock Dragon", "West Lake Longjing" divided into three categories, between categories, but also slightly different. In contrast, Lion Peak Dragon Well the best quality, the tea fragrant and long-lasting, fragrant plum dock slightly behind Lion Peak Longjing Longjing, the West Lake Longjing Longjing dock plum flavor has inferior. The origin of these authentic tea produced outside the "Dragon", its shape and the taste is not true, simply not comparable with the true Dragon, not the old Longjing tea is difficult to distinguish passenger out. Longjing tea is a flat because of its characteristic shape is "flat, flat, straight," while the tea is still flat flag gun, generous tea and so on, but not the quality of two flat and Longjing tea, and shape similar to the use of guns with the flag and generous Longjing most likely bogus. Another example is the highest grade tea, Green Bay Creek fire, produced in Jing County, Anhui Province, Chung Kai Hang cloud claw plate, Ishii eagles nest rock pits and other places. Qing "Eight Eccentrics" nest of poets working in the tasting forest fire Green Bay River, the issue "I do not know Jing Yap mountain cliffs; spring here in Hong Ling Zhuo bud; two stem volume Qiaogua tenuifolia, steaming baked efforts should not be shallow; XuanZhou all this exquisite tea, Fang Xin Chun Shan that Johnson; a bowl whistle scattered light core, quality issues than who Tamagawa child; of the window to the quiet smoke clouds, is Six Hollow Organs are fragrant; sky Ai Ai Xilin late, sparse Rain was smokers forget to return. "admiration. Green Bay Creek fire, the reason why expensive, because the tea granular form cylindrical waist, measured according to a 3335-4500 gram tablets per 5OO, Keke tight, capsules of uniform, dark green oily significant cents, liquor color clear and bright, Hong pure gas rich, mellow taste of heavy and mellow, sweet aftertaste, durable resistance to bubble to the five or six times. The bulk green tea class and tea Gunpowder Green Bay Creek fire are part of its round shape of tea, although Green Bay Creek fire is back round tea, Gunpowder tea is a round bead, at first glance the two similar, so most people is not easy distinguish, often as a tea stall to ordinary Gunpowder Green Tea fire sale in order to deceive those who do not know tea.
There are superb tea Monkey Chief Peace, is a sharp class green tea tea, produced in Anhui Pacific County (now city of Huangshan Taiping District) Xiangtan village among the mountains around monkey pit, as produced in the Pacific County, burly appearance and quality Home tip tea "ringleader" so named after the "Monkey Chief Peace." The tea created in the late nineteenth century, the year in the U.S. 1915 World Expo held in Panama on display, was awarded the first-class gold medal and a certificate can be described as known in the world, the tea into cups and shoots into flowers, floating sink like flamboyant. That green tea soup, fresh fragrance of the aroma, heavy and mellow taste, drink Qinren cardio. Monkey Chief Peace first bubble tea incense high, two foam Sauvignon is even bubble quarto, tea still remain. Because of the Need for Peace Monkey Chief Tea Tea and the general shape similar to the tip, both the spike tea, so put some tea stall "Tikui", "Kui sharp," "special point" even as the peace of ordinary tea tip Monkey Chief sale.
2. Is modeled on the shape of a gourmet tea and even thicker with ordinary old tea leaf to produce. This imitation of the Need for a real gourmet tea and tea quality similar but different, because each Need a specific production process in addition to tea, the tea leaf also requires a certain location, varieties, harvesting time and standards. Where do non-West Lake West Lake Longjing tea, the place to do non-Huangshan Huangshan Mao Feng, a place to do non-Chung Kai Chung Kai fire blue, non-peaceful place to make peace monkey Quebec, where do non-Junshan Junshan Silver Needle, the place of non-Xinyang do Xinyangmaojian is not possible to place its authentic gourmet tea flavor. Although the major form of tea, but decided a key factor in good and bad quality of tea or ER, that is, the aroma and taste. Tea to the pursuit of the ultimate goal requires Wyatt nose and refreshing taste of tea, tea the focus is to meet the needs of smell and taste. Need this kind of imitation tea, you can open tasting soup, usually can identify true and false, because it is really hard with the same taste. Need tea due to the specific environment and the impact of tea varieties, often not yield much, if everywhere selling the same superb tea, then I am afraid all likelihood there is fake stuff. Therefore, Shen Jun purchase Need advise tea, tea Need to be decided, genuine goods real tea, will gain its flavor can be a pure heart.
5, brewing tea
Related to the brewing of tea: one, tea water; two containers; 3, the three elements of tea.
Everyone cup of tea, but was tasty brew, brewing tea is very demanding, the same quality of tea, such as water mixed with different or technology, bubble tea out have different effects. Good to soak a pot of tea or a cup of tea, to pay attention to practical, scientific and artistic.
(1) the so-called "practical"; is based on actual demand, the glass may be brewing, "served in big bowls," but also brew a pot of tea noble.
(2) scientific; is to understand the characteristics of various types of tea, brewed scientific way, so that the quality of tea can be fully demonstrated.
(3) artistic; choose the right brewing utensils and beautiful process.
1, tea and water
The quality of the water quality can directly affect the color of tea, smell and taste, in particular a greater impact on the taste of tea. The ancients paid great attention to the choice of tea water.
(1) to Gan and clean water;
(2) live and refreshing tea recorded) ( classics recorded "peak spring clean and light, clear mountain springs and heavy"
(3) to well-water; container to clean, avoid the sun drying.
Modern technology, health drinking water quality standards and scientific
(1) sensory indicators: color can not exceed 15 degrees, turbidity can not exceed 5 degrees, can not have odor, different color and visible objects.
(2) Chemical indicators: normal PH value 6.5 ~ 8.5, total hardness not higher than 25 degrees.
(3) Fluoride can not exceed 1.0 mg / l, cyanide can not exceed 0.05 mg / liter.
(4) The total number of bacteria in 1 ml of water shall not exceed 100 E. coli in 1 liter of water not more than 3.
Tea and water, natural water are usually used. The sources of mountain spring water, streams, wells, etc. Best!
Tea and water on
Lu Yu had In "
In general, natural water, spring water is more pure, impurity less transparent, less pollution, water quality is best. However, because of water and flow through different channels, so the solute, salt content and hardness are very different, so not all springs are high quality. China's five famous spring called; Zhenjiang in Cold Spring, Wuxi Hui spring, spring Guanyin Suzhou, Hangzhou and Jinan Baotu Spring Tiger Spring.
Select tea water, must understand the water quality of the relationship between hardness and tea. Natural water can be divided into hard water and soft water; contain higher amounts of calcium ﹑ magnesium ions of water as hard water; not or only small amounts of calcium with magnesium ions in water ﹑ called soft water. If hard water is caused by calcium bicarbonate or magnesium bicarbonate, called temporary hard water. After being boiled hard water, containing bicarbonate on the decomposition of carbonate into the not so hard water into soft water. Usually aluminum pot boil, Hudi the white precipitate is carbonate.
(A) hardness of the water will affect the PH value of water (pH), while the PH value will affect the color of tea. When the PH is greater than 5, the tea color deepened, PH value reached 7 theaflavins loss will auto-oxidation.
(B) will affect the hardness of the water solubility of active ingredients of tea. Soft water contains less of other solute solubility of active ingredients of tea, hence the tea Sauvignon; the hard water contains higher amounts of calcium and magnesium ions, the low solubility of active ingredients of tea, so tea and tasteless. Iron ion content of water, tea will become dark brown tea polyphenols is the result of iron. So tea water to soft water, hard water is better for the time being.
In natural water, rain and snow is soft water, river water, spring water ﹑ ﹑ stream temporary hard water, some water is hard water, distilled water processed from the artificial soft water.
2, the choice of tea utensils
Brewing of tea, in addition to good tea, good water, but also good containers. Brewed tea, tea commonly used large pots, then pour into cups for drinking. Roasted green tea or green tea, more tea cups with a lid. Oolong tea should Yixing. West Lake Longjing, Junshan Silver Needle, Dongting Biluochun are advised to use a colorless glass of the best. Tea green tea class, whatever the cup, are advised to small not big. While with a large cup of water and more heat, easy to make tea boiled, affect the color, the smell of tea. Office workers used mug tea, this cup of bubble tea or black tea is only appropriate for bubble tea.
Tea of supporting the following:
Tea boat: put the teapot for use with plate-type and bowl type, a protection of their functional teapot, two containing insulation and for hot cup of hot water.
Teapots: also known as tea sea, in full bloom tea purposes.
Dutch tea: tea containing tea utensils reward.
Tea towels: to dry the teapot and cup of tea ﹑ tea overseas.
Tsp: scoop of tea.
Cup holder: Place the cup.
Tea utensils used in the assessment:
Review site: also known as like tea tray, tea looks specifically for the assessment.
Accreditation Cup: to tea with the aroma of tea with the assessment. Review use of tea and taste.
Like tea scale: tower cranes.
Timer: Measurement of tea brewing to time.
3, the three elements of tea
Bubble tea to drink out of, addition to a good tea, good water, good tea, good tea but also technical.
Tea technology includes three elements:
(1) Tea consumption:
A drink to bubble tea, tea consumption to master. The number of each dosage, there is no uniform standard, mainly based on tea type, tea size, consumer drinking habits. The amount of tea consumption, the key master, tea and water ratio, less tea and more water, Sauvignon; less water and more tea, tasteless.
(2) Water temperature:
Tea kettle, rapid boil to the fire, do not slow fire slow cooking. To just boiling bubble is appropriate, use soft water boiling tea, tea flavor better! Boiling water for too long, that the ancients called the "old water." At this time, evaporation of carbon dioxide dissolved in water and exhausted, the fresh taste of tea is disqualified.
Tea and water temperature control, mainly determined by bubble tea which. Green tea, usually can not be brewed in boiling water 100 ℃, 80 ℃ ~ 90 ℃ application is appropriate (water to boiling point, then cooled to the desired temperature). The more vivid green tea, brewing temperature lower, so will tea, fresh and bright, refreshing taste, vitamin C and less damaged. At high temperatures, darker tea, vitamin C a lot of damage more bitter taste (easy to extract caffeine tea) that the tea "boiled" up.
(3) Time:
Tea brewing time and the number of very different, and the tea type, water temperature, tea consumption, tea drinking habits are involved. According to tests, brewed for the first time, the soluble substances can leach from 50% to 55%; the second time to extract about 30%; the third time to leach 10%; the fourth time is running out. So, as we often say; "tea! Three ports, that the product, a tea can be washed three times."
The high and low water temperature and the amount of tea consumption, and also affect the length of brewing time. High water temperature, tea and more, shorter brewing time; vice versa longer brewing time. However, the most important thing is to fit the tastes of consumers mainly.
6, the error in the daily tea
Loved by so many people drink tea, but tea in daily life, there are some mistakes in regard to tea and improper. This article in the press from time to time to remind. From the perspective of the tea ceremony, these mistakes are completely out of step with the principles of the tea ceremony, and we should quit the attention.
"一". Cup of tea with the heat. Although able to heat insulation glass, but the tea leaves in a variety of vitamins and aromatic oil for a long time at high temperature or constant temperature water loss, tea reduces the effectiveness and taste. Good tea should devaluation pottery class, with some ventilation in the winter heat, summer is not rancid, not any chemical reaction. Yixing teapot so renowned.
<2>. With boiling. Some people like to just getting the water brewing tea, in fact it is very harmful. Just boil the water temperature is high, can not heat the nutrients in tea (such as vitamin C, etc.) a lot of damage, and make tea fragrance to disappear soon. Tea by tea and old should the water temperature, tender to points of tea can be used directly into the water at 95 ℃; tender tea should be somewhat lower, 80 ℃ or so is more suitable.
"三". First time drinking tea. Some people think that the first time tea strong, refreshing, so fond of tea the first time. As everyone knows, tea cultivation and processing in the course of pollution by pesticides, tea, the total surface of some pesticide residues, corresponding to head over the tea pesticides and other harmful substances in high concentrations. So head over the tea should be allowed to play "tea wash" effect, discard drink. 4. Excessive drinking. Some people prefer tea too, too believe that the role of refreshing tea, so tea without limits. In fact, some of the substances in excess of tea on the human body is undesirable, such as a large number of tea drinking can increase the absorption of aluminum element, damage to the brain, Alzheimer's Disease.
"四". Meal is tea. Many people like to drink tea immediately after a meal, that can help digestion. In fact, this is a bad habit. Tea contains a lot of tannin, tannic acid can react with iron in food to produce the material is difficult to dissolve, so gastrointestinal mucosa can not be absorbed by the body over time can lead to iron deficiency, iron deficiency anemia or even induced. In addition, tannic acid and protein synthesis Meat eater in the convergence of tannic acid protein, making bowel movements slow down, thus prolonging the digestion of food and faeces in the gut retention time, not only likely to cause constipation, but also increased the toxic substances and cause cancer, the possibility of material to be absorbed by the body, harmful to human health. Correct approach is one and a half hour after meals and then tea.
