As major enterprises have begun to work, the Spring Festival holiday has passed.
However, in the hearts of the older generation, it is still past the Lantern Festival, and this year is over.
Although the taste of the year has gradually faded, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers has gradually become sparse and distant.
However, in my heart, I still have endless nostalgia for the festive atmosphere.
After all, in the hearts of Chinese, the Spring Festival can be called the most important festival.
It is also reasonable to attach great importance to it.
In this beautiful season, it is inevitable to drink some good tea, drinking tea can not only bring spiritual pleasure, but also bring benefits to the body.
Immerse yourself in the rich aroma of tea and the thick and slippery soup water, only to feel physically and mentally comfortable, and you can't stop.
Moreover, high-quality white tea is rich in theanine, and the appropriate intake of it can soothe the spirit and replenish the vitality of the body.
In order to ensure that there can be a positive effect when drinking tea, then when brewing, there are four "necessary" to talk to everyone.
If a step goes wrong, then there will be a negative impact on the feeling of drinking tea.
《2》
To prepare the tea, choosing a tea set is the first step.
What tea set is used to make tea determines the mood of the tea brewing process and the taste of the tea soup brewed.
If the choice is not right, then the brewed tea soup will not taste satisfactory.
For example, choose a purple clay pot to brew.
Because the purple sand pot has a small spout, it is impossible to produce water quickly, which is the disadvantage of using a teapot to make tea.
Fast water, simply put, is the step to quickly realize the separation of tea, only in this way can we ensure that the number of flavor substances released in the soup water is relatively balanced, so that a cup of tea soup tastes just right.
If you can't get out of the water quickly, it will cause stuffiness.
In the process of smouldering, the tea leaves are in contact with the water for a long time, and the taste substances will be released in excess in the soup water, resulting in the tea soup taste thick and bitter, and it is not good to enter.
Moreover, most purple sand pots on the market will have a filtration design at the bottom of the spout.
This filter is easily blocked by the open leaves, which only lengthens the time of smouldering and makes the taste more bitter.
In addition, the purple sand pot also has a hard wound, that is, it has the ability to absorb incense and taste.
Wuyi, it is made of special mud sintering, the surface has a fine small pore, can absorb part of the aroma of the tea, so used to make tea, the aroma will have an impact.
In order to avoid the risks in this regard, let's still use a white porcelain lid bowl to make tea.
The lid and bowl of the white porcelain lid bowl are separated, and the size of the water outlet can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and the water outlet is perfectly achieved.
In this way, the flavor substances released in the soup water can be well controlled, making the soup fragrant and sweet, fresh and mellow.
In addition, the white porcelain lid bowl has a simple texture, glazed on the surface, and does not have the effect of absorbing incense and absorbing taste, which can fully display the style of good tea.

In addition to the choice of lid bowl, the proportion of tea is also the key to controlling the taste of the soup.
If the proportion of tea and water is not correct, it is difficult to brew a cup of tea soup with just the right taste.
To brew white tea, the recommended tea ratio is 5 grams of tea and 100-110 ml of water.
To brew black tea, the recommended tea ratio is 5 grams of tea and 100-110 ml of water.
To brew rock tea, the recommended tea ratio is 8 grams of tea and 100-110 ml of water.
Like black tea and rock tea is easy to do, most of the market is in bubble bags to share with everyone, tea cabinet has helped you weigh the weight, you can save the step of weighing tea.
Directly use the tea scissors to cut the bubble bag, put the dry tea into the standard lid bowl, and directly inject water to brew.
As for white tea, there are still relatively few bags, and it is still necessary to weigh the tea before brewing tea.
Some tea friends hate that the step of calling tea is too troublesome, and it is simpler to take a handful of tea.
However, it is difficult to control the amount of tea thrown by hand.
Although some tea lovers believe that they have rich experience in drinking tea, they can judge the weight of tea leaves according to the feel.
However, people are not machines, can not be so accurate, or there will be a certain deviation.
If brewed with a standard-sized lid bowl, there is too little tea and the taste is light.
And if you throw too much tea, the taste is too strong, too bitter, there is no good tea drinking experience.
In order to drink a good tea taste, the proportion of tea to water is very critical.
《4》
When brewing, the water temperature used is also the focus.
If the water temperature of the brewing tea is not selected properly, it will only waste a good tea.
How much degree of water temperature is used to brew high-quality tea?
Needless to say, boiling water is the best.
Any tea leaf contains a wealth of aromatic substances, and the boiling points of these substances are different, some high, some low.
Aromatic substances with high boiling points need to be stimulated by boiling water to be released, thus creating a cup of fragrant and richly layered tea soup.
If you make tea with warm water, you will only brew a cup of tea soup with unremarkable performance.
In addition, boiling water has the effect of disinfection and sterilization.
Nowadays, under the influence of the general environment, everyone attaches great importance to the aspect of health.
Therefore, when drinking tea, brewing with boiling water can make you feel more at ease and more at ease when drinking tea.
When entertaining guests, guests are also ironed in their hearts.
In addition, only boiling water can release the deep taste substances of good tea.
Take the Taimu Mountain Alpine Pekoe Silver Needle as an example.
Taimushan Alpine Tea Garden, because of the high altitude, the temperature will be relatively low.
At the appropriate low temperature, in order to resist the cold, the tea plant will continue to produce thick pekoe, which has a certain waterproof effect.
Only by brewing with boiling water can it be infiltrated and infiltrated into the inside, so that the deep taste substances can be released and a rich tea soup can be created.
In this way, good tea will not be wasted.

When making tea, the water can not be forgotten.
As mentioned earlier, in order to be able to get out of the water quickly, it is necessary to use this as a basis when choosing a tea set.
Therefore, the rapid realization of tea separation is the key point of tea brewing.
So what is fast water, and how fast is it?
The so-called fast water, in fact, from the injection of water to most of the tea soup pouring time is controlled within 7-8 seconds.
In this way, the flavor substances can be released evenly in the soup water, so that the soup tastes just right.
If the soup is too slow, it will cause smouldering.
When brewing, the tea leaves are in contact with water for a long time, and the taste substances will be released in excess.
The flavor substances in tea are mainly three categories, namely caffeine, tea polyphenols and theanine.
Caffeine and tea polyphenols provide a bitter taste, and theanine provides a sweet and refreshing taste.
When smouldering, caffeine and tea polyphenols are released faster, while theanine is slightly slower.
So the smouldering tea soup is thick and bitter.
Everything is too much to pay attention to.
Excessive intake of caffeine, as well as tea polyphenols, can adversely affect our body.
Some tea friends with a delicate stomach and intestines will have gastrointestinal discomfort if they over-consume tea polyphenols.
In order to avoid this situation, it is better to get out of the water quickly.

In the matter of drinking tea, the details determine success or failure.
If there is a problem with the amount of tea when brewing, then the flavor of the tea soup is affected.
In order to ensure that there is no problem with the flavor of the tea soup, the amount of tea needs to be paid more attention.
Precise weighing is required with a gram scale.
In this way, you can brew a good tea flavor.
In addition, the time of soup and the speed of soup are the key.
Making tea is a delicate job, if you want to drink the most beautiful style of a good tea, then be sure to pay attention to details.
Otherwise, it will only fail to live up to the good tea.
