National Day small long holiday, rare holiday, always go out to see around.
Distant such as the landscape scenery in the cape of the world.
Close to the park in the city where the local area is located.
Climbing high, swimming in the lake, and walking to the beach are all outdated ways of celebrating the holidays.
Meng Haoran wrote a poem.
The first two sentences are, August Lake level, han virtual mix too clear.
The scene of water and sky meeting is spectacular.
The August month written in the poem refers to the lunar calendar.
Correspondingly, it is September and April of the current new calendar.
At this time, the wind is light and cloudy, the sky is high and cloudy, and it is slightly cool in the morning and evening.
The long shadow of the sun is cast on the water, which is like a beautiful autumn water scene.
However, travel during the long holiday to drink tea.
How do I take tea with me? Is the thermos suitable for making white tea? Can I buy tea from tourist attractions?
The various problems are taken into account and are very exquisite.

How to bring tea when you are away from home?
Before a friend came to drive from Quanzhou to Fuzhou, said that he brought a bubble of very top cinnamon, and specially came to share.
However, just when everyone was looking forward to the rock tea that was comparable in price to the cinnamon of the bullpen pit, an embarrassing scene appeared.
It turned out that friends were sloppy when they went out.
The cinnamon in the long bubble bag is stuffed directly into the bag and the tea is taken out.
I didn't think that under the pressure of squeezing and squeezing along the way, the bubble cinnamon was completely shattered into slag!
From the dry tea phase, a big loss of points.
Moreover, the rock tea that is crushed into slag foam is more troublesome to brew.
Although the cinnamon bubble is located in the core mountain field, the soup is fragrant, the soup is thick and smooth, and the sweetness is rapid.
But unfortunately, because the cord is too broken, the taste of the brewed tea is still stronger!
It can be seen that for a high-priced Zhengyan good tea, it cannot be too sloppy when taking tea out.
Anti-squeeze measures must be taken.
For example, tea leaves packaged in separate bubble bags are packed into cardboard boxes, plastic boxes, and iron boxes.
For example, around the bubble bag, wrap a soft cloth and sponge pad.
For example, before putting tea leaves in a suitcase or backpack, it is best to fix it. Otherwise, when checked in the suitcase, the tea leaves will swing back and forth and will definitely be crushed.

Small long holiday out, suitable for bringing what tea?
Bring tea out, mainly consider two points.
One is the taste of personal tea drinking.
One is portability.
Tea leaves packed in separate bubble bags, one pack at a time, are not many, suitable for taking out.
However, when carrying bubble bags of Wuyi rock tea (cinnamon, daffodil, Da Hong Pao), Zhengshan small seeds, Tieguanyin, and white tea, you should refer to the experience above.
Loose tea is dry and fragile, and anti-extrusion measures should be achieved.
Judging from the usual business experience, taking tea out is suitable for bringing more samples and light loading.
Otherwise, directly bring a cake of 7 two old shoumei.
It not only increases the baggage burden, but also has many inconveniences.
When you need to drink tea on the way, you must not only pry the tea, but also worry about how to keep the remaining tea cakes.
In contrast, it is still a little self-packaged biscuit tea, which is more worry-free.
Thin and does not take up space.
And compared with the fluffy loose tea, biscuit tea is not easy to break, suitable for travel families, but also suitable for the National Day small holiday travel.
In this way, even if you go to a foreign country to play.
In an unfamiliar inn, you can also enjoy a familiar cup of tea with peace of mind!

Traveling out to make tea, how to choose the water to make tea?
There are many friends who love to drink tea, and they have a fixed preference for making tea.
The local water quality in Fuzhou is sweet, and many "old Fuzhou" will use the water of the North Peak specifically when making tea.
On Mount Taimu, Master S said that the mountain spring water he received by his family was delicious no matter what kind of tea he brewed.
As for a place like Wuyi Mountain, which is full of scenery, the water quality is not to mention, and good water can make the style of good tea more colorful!
But when you go out, making tea and fetching water is a very troublesome thing.
Once when I went out in a hurry, I took the high-speed rail to Shanghai, and received hot water on the car to soak white peonies.
After the bubble comes out, unscrew the bottle cap, a smell wafts up, and the elegant floral fragrance of the white peony disappears.
Taste in the mouth, the taste is even more astringent.
I can't drink it at all, I can only waste good tea in vain, and directly buy a bottle of pure water to quench my thirst.
After arriving at the hotel, I boiled a certain brand of mineral water provided by the hotel in the national chain, and planned to make tea to drink.
But once I drank it, I found that the taste that usually came out of Fuzhou was far from the same.
What is even more strange is that this same brand of mineral water has been used before, and this situation has not occurred.
What's going on?
Later, I learned that even if it is the same brand of mineral water, the water intake point is different in different places, the water quality is different, and the degree of softness and hardness of the water body is different.
If the trace mineral content is too high and the water quality is too hard.
Used to make tea, it will also make good tea lose points.
After that experience, I completely understood a truth.
On making tea, high-quality mountain spring water, access inconvenience.
Whether it's at home on a daily basis or when you're away from home.
If you want to drink a cup of pure and original tea, choosing pure water is the most worry-free choice!

Climbing the mountain, is it suitable for making tea with a thermos cup?
Long story short, thermos cups can be used to brew tea directly.
However, be careful, you have to buy food grade stainless steel thermos cups/thermos pots.
In addition, when making tea in a thermos cup, the tea leaves will always be smouldering in a high temperature environment.
In order to avoid the bitter taste of tea, just throw a small amount of tea, and the amount of tea should not be too much.
Finally, under the long-term high temperature and smouldering, the fresh, flexible and elegant tea aroma of good tea will definitely be damaged.
For this point, we must make certain psychological expectations.
That is, drinking the tea from the thermos cup will taste inferior to the tea brewed in the lid bowl.
Of course, instead of directly brewing tea with a thermos cup, village girl Chen recommends using a thermos cup to pack tea out.
Before going out, you can make tea with a lid bowl.
First punch, second punch, third punch, fourth punch...
Brew several times in a row until the thermos and thermos cup are filled.
Alternatively, boil a pot of hot tea and put it in the thermos.
In this way, during the National Day holiday, when climbing, outinging and walking around the city.
Anytime, anywhere, you can drink a good tea with a suitable and sweet tea taste!

Can I buy farmhouse tea and handmade tea at tourist attractions?
During the long holidays, travel is always a hot topic.
But when it comes to traveling, whether it is with a group or a self-driving car, if you want to buy tea locally, you need to pay more attention.
After all, there are many pits in this.
Previously, a Beijing tea friend shared that when he was traveling in a certain place, there were many vendors at the foot of the mountain selling local specialty tea.
Out of curiosity, the tea friend came forward to inquire.
The vendors enthusiastically said that this is the homemade tea made by the surrounding farmers themselves with the earth, pure handmade, no additives.
After a little inquiry, I found that this so-called "handmade tea" is not expensive, and a can only sells for more than 100 yuan.
So the tea friend brought a few cans of tea as a souvenir.
But after going home, I opened a can to drink it, and found that the tea taste was very thin and bitter, and I couldn't drink it at all!
Originally planned to give gifts, in the end did not have the good sense to give hands.
What is incomprehensible is that how can the taste of this handmade tea be so bad?
In fact, handmade tea is not the same as good tea.
Handmade things are not necessarily better than machines.
On the contrary, the local characteristic soil tea processed by farmers and individual farmers in accordance with the soil method is uneven in quality.
In terms of professionalism, it cannot be compared with professional tea makers.
In addition, due to the lack of standard norms and regulations, as well as the relevant regulatory oversight gaps.
Such handmade homemade tea is likely to be the hardest hit area for random processing and shoddy manufacturing.
All in all, such homemade tea, the risk of buying is too high.
When buying tea in tourist attractions, it is more prone to many problems of uneven quality and inflated prices.
When you are away from home and want to buy tea as a souvenir, it is recommended not to consume impulsively.
Do more homework beforehand, or ask your local knowledgeable friends to find out, it's not too late to start again!

Small long holiday out to enjoy the scenery.
The options are plentiful.
Ascend to the far horizon, relax on the seashore, circle along the lake, feed the pigeons in the square, feed the fish in the park koi pond, enjoy the sunset by the river, and inhale oxygen on the mountain...
No matter far or near, as long as you observe carefully, the beauty is at hand.
But October has arrived, and mid-autumn is gradually transitioning to late autumn.
The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, if you go to a city to the north, or to the mountains, you need to add clothes to protect yourself from the cold.
In addition, when you go out, prepare hot water and hot tea.
Enjoy the scenery during your trip, you will be more relaxed and comfortable!
