If you don't drink a cup of tea before tomorrow, you will miss the whole spring

I didn't know how to cherish tea before,

Because the place where I was born is the land of tea.

Daily drinking at home

It is the famous tea.

And then I stayed far away,

I began to miss the taste of tea in my hometown,

Every time I go home, I have to bring some boxes of good tea.

Spring is coming, I think,

Is it time for the tea garden in my hometown to be lively again?

For tea lovers,

There is a hope called spring tea.

After a winter's hibernation,

The tea trees sprouted thousands of buds under the rain,

Green and green, fresh and tender.

Among them, tea before Ming Dynasty is the most expensive.

Tea before the Ming Dynasty refers to the tea harvested before the Qingming Festival,

It is usually green tea, such as picked before the Ming Dynasty

West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng and so on are the best.

It was cold before Qingming,

Tea plants are not infested by pests,

The buds and leaves are delicate, the color is green, the fragrance is quiet, the taste is mellow and the shape is beautiful.

At the same time, due to the low temperature, the number of germination is limited,

The yield that can reach the picking standard is very small,

And because of the high requirements of picking, it has to be done by hand,

Therefore, there is a saying that tea before Ming Dynasty is as expensive as gold.

There are historical records,

The concept of tea before Ming Dynasty became clear in Tang Dynasty,

And become a sacrifice.

With the drizzle of Qingming season,

Make a pot of spring tea,

There are long lost clouds and mountains in the pot,

A poetic spring full moon,

There is also a real pleasure beyond the flashy.

Tea is spring, and spring is in tea.

Drinking green tea in the Song Dynasty,

There is also a very elegant form of tea.

After boiling, crush the tea cake,

Put the finely ground tea powder into the pot,

Add boiling water and make a paste with tea.

Many Japanese monks practiced in Jingshan in the Song Dynasty and were familiar with this technique,

Today's Japanese tea ceremony inherits this practice.

Talking about the joy of tea,

Song people without mobile phones and WiFi,

To have fun with tea matches,

It is also quite interesting.

There was a poem by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty

"In the last spring, we selected Jianxi sprouts and took xiangyunchuang to fight tea.

The point does not honor the character, hold Ou similar than Qionghua. "

This shows the prosperity and popularity of tea in the Song Dynasty.

Art is divided into spring and snow and Liba people,

Tea can also be enjoyed by both refined and popular tastes.

People who love life love tea,

Because it satisfies your imagination and desire for life.

The women who love tea are plain and elegant,

Simple, simple, comfortable and generous,

There is a faint oriental charm in every move,

Like a walking ink painting.

There are fairies in the world, and tea is precious for plants and trees.

Tea is also a taste of life.

Human April Make a cup of fragrant Longjing,

Accompanied by poetic natural fragrance,

The taste of spring is very pleasant,

For a moment of long lost peace.

How to drink spring tea

• It's better not to drink the tea right away

The new tea should be kept for a week or two, and it will taste better. After proper storage, not only the "fire" flavor can be removed, but also the moisture content of dry tea can be reduced. For example, the newly roasted Longjing tea should be dried in a jar with quicklime, and the fire should be removed. [now it can be stored in cold storage directly] after about a week, the Longjing tea can meet the quality requirements of "green color", "clear soup", "high aroma" and "mellow taste".

• Don't use boiling water to make tea before Ming Dynasty

Because the tea before the Ming Dynasty is relatively tender, it is appropriate to use about 80-85 degrees. The more tender and green the tea is, the lower the brewing water temperature is. In this way, the tea soup can be green and bright, the taste is fresh and refreshing, and the nutrients in the tea are less damaged.

• It is better to use glass for brewing

The appearance of Longjing tea should be "flat", "flat" and "straight", and Biluochun dry tea should be "curled into a snail" and "covered with white hair", etc. Watching the beauty of tea is also a kind of enjoyment.
