Boiling tea is already another favorite of tea lovers, especially when the weather is cold, the weather is cold and everything is silent.
Three or five friends, a pot of old tea. The heat is permeated, the fragrance of tea is wafting, and I feel good before I drink it.
Even in the hot summer, it is difficult to stop people's love for making tea, just like some people eat hot pot in summer.
There are two general ways to drink tea: boiled tea and brewed tea, bubble tea has a rich taste, pleasing soup color, and can also make people feel the change of its taste every brew, while boiled tea has a stable taste.

The difference between boiled tea and brewed tea
1. Amount of tea thrown
XIAN XI TANG
In general, 3 grams ~ 6 grams of tea leaves can be put in tea, and black tea and green tea [aged old iron or old rock tea] need to be put more, about 7~10 grams.
The amount of tea to be boiled is reduced to about 1/3 of the usual brewing amount, and the amount of tea should not be too much, in order to achieve the best taste.
The specific proportion can be adjusted according to the difference in tea and water volume, in principle, the amount of tea should be less than more, and too strong will affect the taste.
2. Tea is different
XIAN XI TANG
Brewing tea is generally to choose relatively tender tea leaves for brewing, so that it is easier to taste, when brewing coarse old tea leaves, you need to brew moderately.
For boiling tea, it is generally more suitable to choose a relatively coarse old tea, the relative contents of thick branches and large leaves will be more balanced, the stored sugar content is also relatively high, and it will not be too bitter when boiled, such as old white tea, black tea, aged oolong tea, etc.
3. The taste and aroma are different
XIAN XI TANG
Brewing tea mainly focuses on mastering the amount of tea and the temperature of water, which can make the tea taste better.
Boiling tea can release more of the contents, and the taste of tea soup is richer.
4. The scene is different
XIAN XI TANG
There are many kinds of scenes that are suitable for making tea
1. Relatives and friends come to the house as guests and make a pot of tea to entertain.
2. Go out on an outing with your family and prepare a bottle of tea to quench your thirst on the road.
3. In the office or study, drink tea while working, and drink tea while reading.
And the most suitable scene for boiling tea is in the cold winter, probably nothing can warm our body and mind more than boiling tea.
Brewing tea in summer will definitely make you sweat, which is also a good way to get rid of moisture.
When boiling tea, with gentle music, from boiling water to boiling tea and drinking, the whole rhythm is gentle, comfortable, and full of form, and the stillness of the body drives the stillness of the spirit, which can make people complete emotional relaxation in the process.
XIAN XI TANG
There are three kinds of tea that are better to boil than brew
1. Old white tea
XIAN XI TANG
It is a micro-fermented tea, which is made of delicate buds and leaves with many white hairs on the back of the leaves, and is dried in the sun or at a simmer.
Because the white tea is not kneaded during processing, the leaves are complete and stretched after brewing, the tea is mellow and the soup color is light.
2. Black tea
XIAN XI TANG
Black tea is a post-fermented tea, because the raw materials used are relatively coarse and old, and the processing process requires a long time of accumulation and fermentation, so the aging fragrance is rich, the taste is mellow, and the tea soup is mostly dark brown.
3. Aged oolong tea
XIAN XI TANG
After charcoal roasting and storage for more than five years, the more you brew it, the more you feel it, and then the woody aroma is charming.
To sum up, generally long years, full fermentation or heavy fermentation, tea with strong mellow tea is more suitable for boiling. These teas are either because of the process relationship, or after time processing, the initial green and cold have faded, and the tea tends to be warm.
And this kind of tea is relatively coarse and old, the content is relatively more balanced, and the stored sugar content is relatively high, so it will not be too bitter and difficult to eat after cooking.
