Three things you can’t skip when drinking tea (Three ways to drink tea)
When drinking tea, the first thing not to omit is “enjoy the tea”.
From the perspective of the tea brewer, he depends on the information obtained from the tea viewer to decide what material pot to use, what temperature of water to use, what proportion of tea water to use (that is, the amount of tea), and what soaking time to use.
From the perspective of tea drinkers, we know the degree of fermentation, kneading, aging, roasting, piling and aging of tea from tea tasting. When drinking tea soup, we will have a deeper understanding of tea (recommended reading: Ceylon tea, learn tea knowledge, please pay attention to: www.lhecha.coM) soup.
Therefore, it is best to look at the tea leaves before making it yourself or anyone else. Use the tea lotus to hold about a pot of tea, each tea and tea tasting person appreciate one by one, then do not touch the tea, if you want to smell the tea, do not breathe next to the tea.
Looking at tea leaves before making tea, why should it be called “appreciating tea”?
In order to avoid turning “looking at tea leaves” into “examining tea leaves”, the next viewing color, smell, taste, and look at the bottom of the leaves are all with the atmosphere of “evaluating tea”.
In addition to tea making, review, and procurement, tea is appreciated and enjoyed, otherwise why bother spending money to buy tea but also to diagnose it all the way?
In the tea brewing stage, we will be called “tea”, because the tea maker must see the various conditions of the tea at this time, in order to decide what means to take tea.
However, the next tea drinker will look at tea with an attitude of “appreciation” and engage in the preparation before drinking tea, which is called “tea appreciation”.
The second item that should not be omitted from drinking tea is to look at the leaf base, that is, to appreciate the tea leaves that have been soaked.
At this time, the tea has been sufficiently infiltrated, if not completely stretched, it is enough to see the true face of the tea after being made. If the fire is not too heavy, the pile is too sufficient, resulting in the carbonization of the tea, after a long soak still can not stretch open, otherwise the tea after brewing is always spread out for everyone to watch.
At this time, tea brewers and tea drinkers can see clearly from the bottom of the stretched leaves the degree of fermentation, rolling, roasting, piling, aging, the characteristics of the variety, the condition of the tea green being picked, the degree of damage between packaging and transportation, and even the quality of brewing technology can be displayed.
The project of “leaf appreciation” is not fully applied in the tea ceremony industry, after brewing tea, everyone feels that they have drunk tea, and if the tea residue is thrown into the trash can at this time, the tea is really not a bit of love.
“Leaf appreciation” on the one hand, tea makers and tea drinkers can understand the past and present life of tea from the unfolded leaf bottom, which is a major way to recognize tea and appreciate tea; On the other hand, tea has contributed to the soul of life, and those who drink tea should be cherished and thanked.
After admiring the bottom of the leaf, pour it into the dregs, and when the tea party is over, pour it over the earth to restore it to the basic elements of the earth.
The third item that should not be omitted from drinking tea is “tea food”.
Tea is a small food dotted with tea, not the meaning of drinking tea and sunflower seeds, nor the meaning of drinking tea and eating snacks, but after drinking tea for a while, to change the taste of the mouth, but also to adjust the mood.
Under such a plan, the tea should be small, a mouthful is good, do not chew for a long time, but also spit slag, but also stick to the teeth, but to be delicate, not to rob the aroma and taste of the tea.
After eating the tea, clean up the utensils and restore the appearance of the original tea. Tea tasting in front of only teacup, paper and pen, knife and fork, face paper and other sundry can not be placed on the tea mat, otherwise after drinking tea, the cup of Wolf, do not know is in tea or eating.
Since it is called tea, it should be based on drinking tea, eating tea is just an ornament, just a rest, and then continue to be the main theme of tea.
Some opinions are that tea does not eat tea, emphasizing not to interfere with the appreciation of tea, emphasizing pure tea. Therefore, the tea ceremony industry rarely talks about how to apply tea to the tea table, and therefore tea is not formal enough when it is applied, and it does not have its own rules, but tea often plays an embellishment and humorous effect in the process of drinking tea, and can also give taste and smell a rest.
