Since ancient times, the tea has been re-appreciated
In the history of tea drinking in China, before the Tang Dynasty, although south of the Yangtze River, tea drinking was more common. However, at that time, tea drinking was relatively extensive, and people were accustomed to adding various spice seasonings to the tea leaves and using decoction to drink.
Therefore, there are no special requirements for the color, aroma, taste and shape of tea. Therefore, the water products of suitable tea have not attracted enough attention from tea people.
Only after entering the Tang Dynasty, tea flourished, and tea drinking became fashionable. In particular, Lu Yu's outstanding contribution to the tea industry in the Tang Dynasty and exquisite tea art, the tea drinkers, ignited the fiery tea drinking culture, showing the golden age of tea drinking that "drinks more than every house".
And with the increasing abundance of tea and the creation of the wind of tea appreciation, so that drinking tea to quench thirst rose to art drinking.
