The richness of one cup of Kung Fu tea is worth the aroma of three cups of pearl milk tea! Tea bags, bottled tea, and pearl milk tea are flooding the market. Why do some people still insist on using tureens and purple clay pots to make tea? Is it to look cool, for health, or what? At the Kung Fu Tea banquet, what little wisdom and thoughts are beneficial to you?

Tea drinks must have tea leaves?

Nowadays, many tea drinks make you think that drinking a lot of tea is healthy, but in fact there is no tea in it. Some tea drinks only add tea extract, some may add tea flavor powder, and some may just use broken tea powder and soak it in water. In fact, you have not absorbed the nutrients of tea at all. For example, the black tea bags that many people like to drink are usually made of broken tea and tea powder. Although the color is mellow when brewed, the actual amount of tea is not much, and the taste is only very fragrant for the first 1-2 cups. concentrated.

If you only drink a small amount of tea extract or tea powder, you will not be able to absorb enough tea substances, such as antioxidants, tea polyphenols, vitamins, etc. Maybe you drink a lot of tea bags and milk tea every day, and you think you drink a lot of tea, but it may only be one-tenth of the amount of Gongfu tea that others drink!

To drink tea, drink whole tea leaves

For health reasons and to ensure tea quality, try to choose original tea leaves. Broken tea or tea essence has lost its original shape after processing, and the quality of the tea leaves cannot be tested.

The structure of the original tea leaves is complete. When picking tea, the grades must be consistent. For example, the bud head part has one bud and one leaf, one bud and two leaves, etc. Traditional tea leaves are generally picked by hand, while broken tea is picked by machine. The difference is that machine picking cannot identify the tea green parts after picking, and it is difficult to achieve the same tea grade. In this way, the grade and quality of the original leaves are relatively better than the broken tea, and the grade is higher.

The shape of the original tea leaves is tightly curled, and the tea flavor can slowly release tea substances during brewing, and the brewing resistance is also high. If the quality of the tea is good, it can be brewed 6-8 times continuously, and the tea flavor will be released just right, and the aroma will be more distinct. Unlike broken tea, the tea flavor will be released all at once, making the tea soup too dark, the taste too strong, and even bitter. In addition, broken tea tends to release tea solution too quickly, and the brewing resistance of broken tea is not high. The tea bag will become useless after 2-3 cups at most.

Traditional tea: Drinking tea and drinking essence should not be "cow drinking"

Kung Fu tea generally requires 6-10 grams of tea leaves in a pot. Compared with a 3-gram tea bag, the concentration of tea in a pot must be higher than that in a tea bag. Cantonese people often go to teahouses to drink tea. The tea provided in the teahouses also has a lot of broken tea stems. They drink large pots of tea with constant refills. The ratio of tea to water becomes dilute and dilute. The truth is that they drink more water than tea. Although drinking water is good for your health, the experience of taste and aroma is definitely very different from drinking Kung Fu tea.

A cup of warm Kung Fu tea has a fragrant aroma. Drink it slowly, and a floral fragrance lingers in your mouth, and your throat returns with a sweet and mellow aroma. The rare good tea is even more sweet and lingers in the heart for a long time. Such a cup of Kung Fu tea is the essence, and the drink is also the essence. It cannot be compared with the experience of a large cup of beef drink.

Small cups dissipate heat quickly and avoid tea drunkenness

For Kung Fu tea in Chaoshan, Taiwan and other places, small cups are used to drink tea, which not only dissipates heat quickly, but also prevents excessive drinking, which may lead to tea drunkenness. The design of this small cup is definitely the wisdom of the ancients. It not only allows tea drinkers to quickly enjoy freshly brewed hot tea, but also makes you want to drink cup after cup.

Compared with a large cup, a small cup leaves you wanting more, and also allows you to brew one cup at a time and drink slowly, so that your body can slowly absorb the tea soup without getting drunk. This is also a tea-drinking tool that seems insignificant, but tea drinkers cannot abandon it. Drinking tea from a small cup is not to act cool or special, but it actually has a small purpose.

Learn to enjoy and improve the quality of life 

Tea art and Kung Fu tea are good ways for urbanites to relax and enjoy life. Put aside your busy work and focus on every step of the tea ceremony, such as hot cup, hot pot, warm brewing, etc., one step after another, so that you have to concentrate on making tea.

Focus on enjoying the fragrance of tea and waiting for the tea soup. Making a good pot of tea and the pleasure brought by drinking a cup of hot tea is the purest and simplest enjoyment. It allows you to learn to meditate and enjoy the simple beautiful things in the world. In fact, it is not difficult to get into the art of tea. A tureen, a teapot, and a cup of tea can help you stay away from the hustle and bustle and escape from your worries.
