The piano accompanies the moon before the court, and the tea is evenly distributed.
Washing tea before drinking tea is a Xi that many tea lovers have, washing tea can remove dust, wake up tea, moisten tea, and make the tea soup cleaner and pureer, but many tea lovers do not know that washing tea pays attention to "tea conditions".
The production process of the six major types of tea is different, and the way of washing tea is also different, some teas can be washed without tea, some teas need to be washed quickly, and some teas need to be washed "slowly".
1. Drinking white tea can be done without washing tea
Good quality Fuding white tea does not need to be washed. Fuding white tea is mostly grown at a higher altitude of 500/600 meters above sea level, far away from highways and residential areas, with excellent production environment, high vegetation coverage, fresh and clean air.
The production process of white tea is simple, no frying or kneading, no too much artificial participation, high-quality white tea has a standardized tea-making process, 70 cm above the ground when withering, the whole process is hygienic and meticulously dried.
The old white tea in white tea does not need to be washed no matter how long it is stored, and the storage standard of white tea is
The old white tea stored in such an environment is hygienic and very clean, even if you don't wash the tea, you can drink it with confidence.
If tea lovers are really worried, they can also wash tea. Loose tea is soaked in boiling water for 30 seconds, and cake tea is soaked for 45 seconds and then poured out of the tea soup, so that the tea soup will be smoother, the tea is fragrant, and there is no miscellaneous smell when smelling.
2. Green tea and yellow tea do not need to be washed
The tea-making process of green tea and yellow tea is similar, but yellow tea has an additional dull yellow process, so their tea attributes and tea soup flavor are also similar.
Yellow tea and green tea do not need to be washed when brewing, the reason behind it is very simple, green tea and yellow tea both advocate simple brewing in a glass.
Boil water, throw tea, pour water, a few simple steps, you can brew a cup of refreshing and sweet tea soup. And when making tea in a glass, the essence of the tea leaves is concentrated in the first tea soup, and it would be a pity if it was poured out.
In particular, green tea and yellow tea are "fresh" teas, and after a cup of tea is brewed, you can taste it while it is hot, and you can taste the ultimate fresh and full spring tea!
3. It is not recommended to wash tea when drinking black tea
Among the six major tea categories, black tea belongs to fully fermented tea, but in essence, black tea is not 100% fully fermented, and the actual degree of tea fermentation varies from 20% to 80%.
And, the fermentation of black tea is different from that of black tea. There are no specific mushrooms involved in the fermentation process of black tea, so there is no need to worry about miscellaneous bacteria mixing into it.
When making tea, the vast majority of black tea is not recommended to wash tea, in the process of black tea processing, there will be a lot of tea flavor substances attached to the surface of the dry tea strips, and the boiling water will be flushed, and the tea fragrance and tea flavor will come out.
Fourth, modern rock tea, no need to wash tea
According to the older generation, most of the time, the first child is a good thing. When the first tea soup is brewed, the tea flavor substances inside the dry tea are abnormally abundant, without any loss, and the first tea soup has a large number of amino acids, soluble sugars, pectin substances, etc., and the flavor is sweet and refreshing.
In the past, the production environment, production conditions and transportation conditions of rock tea were not very good, so there would be some health problems in the tea, and the tea needed to be washed to ensure the purity of the tea soup.
However, nowadays, tea enterprises and tea farmers make tea in strict accordance with the standards, and the clarity of tea can also be guaranteed, which is manifested in:
In the past, the ancient hand-made "kneading tea" production process has been slowly transformed into a mechanized and automated process, and basically the whole process is not on the ground.
When the rock tea is finished, the pot temperature can reach more than 200 °C, and the roasting temperature is also more than 100 °C.
Fifth, the first brew of black tea must be washed
This is because black tea has a unique tea-making process, which requires kneading to adjust the shape of the tea leaves, and in the process, tea juice will adhere to the tea leaves. Moreover, black tea is a post-fermented tea, which needs to be fermented in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, and the tea leaves are easy to be contaminated with some sundries.
The time to drink tea and wash the tea does not need to be too long, about 10 seconds, put the appropriate amount of black tea in the tea vessel, then pour in the appropriate amount of boiling water, and then use a stick to stir the tea leaves and water in the tea vessel, and when the tea becomes turbid, you can pour it out.
6. Flower tea is not recommended to wash tea
When drinking flower tea, we generally choose to brew in a glass, put the flower tea into the glass, and pour water into the swirl rush, and the light dry tea is rotating along the direction of the water flow, like tea buds dancing, which is pleasing to the eye.
Almost at the moment when the boiling water rushes in, the clear floral fragrance follows, the glass cup of tea, the first three are the essence, drink one less one, it is not suitable to pour it out.
In the name of washing tea, it is a pity to pour out a cup of fragrant, slippery, and fresh tea soup.
Among the six major tea categories, the vast majority of tea leaves do not need to be specially washed. Only the black tea that has been fermented after being processed by Wodui, the situation is more special, and it is best to wash the tea before drinking.
When drinking tea, whoever makes the tea is in charge, and "washing tea" and "not washing tea" are all up to personal freedom. As long as the boiling water is boiled, there is no miscellaneous smell, the soup color is clear and translucent, and the soup noodles can waft out bursts of good tea fragrance.
