"In my spare time, I brewed a new cup of tea for myself, and in the transparent glass, the leaves were green and fresh, like washed emeralds, accompanied by the light rise of the water mist, and the quiet tea fragrance also filled with ethereal, as if there were none. If you deliberately smell it, it is looming without leaving a trace, inadvertently, but it is pleasant and refreshing. ——Lin Qingxuan, "The Taste of Tea"
Tea drinkers, more or less, will care about the taste of tea, tea taste bitter and sweet, covering the world. People who love tea either like tea because of the taste of tea, or like tea because of the state of tea. In any case, tea does bring us a lot of different feelings. As far as the taste that tea brings to us, when the tea is just introduced, the taste is a little bitter, but when it slowly penetrates into the throat, it will feel a fragrant aftertaste, sweet, and smell very fragrant. If someone makes a pot of tea, it won't be long before the aroma fills the room.
The aroma and taste of tea is the key factor that determines the quality of a tea, and a high-quality tea should achieve a good balance in aroma and taste, and cannot be abandoned. The taste of tea can be divided into three categories: strong and stimulating, mellow and soft, fresh and elegant, and each category is divided into several sub-categories.
Intense stimulation: strong type, strong type, strong alcohol type, thick type;
Mellow and soft: mellow type, chen alcohol type, fresh and concentrated type, sweet alcohol type, mellow type;
Fresh and elegant: fresh type, fresh light type, fresh alcohol type, mellow type, peaceful type.
Although the taste of tea is many, it should not be desired, and the unique drinker knows its taste.
Tea brings us not only the taste experience, but also the spiritual experience and perception. The taste of tea is also like the taste of our life, a little bitter, a little sweet. The aroma of tea needs to be tasted slowly, and life needs a process of precipitation. Everyone will always experience some suffering in their lives, but that is only for a while, and it will not be bitter for a lifetime. Each of us is tasting the tea of life, and our feelings are different, and it grows with our life experience and life realm. Those who understand the joy of life and realize the cultivation of life, their tea taste is infinite, and the meaning should be lofty.
"The taste of tea is thought-provoking, indeed, the taste of life is fully manifested in tea, and tasting tea is also a sense of the taste of life." Tea is like life, life is like tea.
