Tea is a common drink in our lives. As everyone pays more attention to health, more and more people drink tea, because tea is one of the most recognized natural drinks in the world.
Moreover, tea is not a consumable product. You can drink a can for a long time, so it is relatively economical and affordable compared with other drinks. A cup of green tea has an elegant aroma and fresh taste, refreshing you; a cup of black tea has a fragrant and pleasant taste, a sweet and mellow taste, and gives you infinite warmth and comfort.
Drinking tea is a good thing, but many people don’t know how to drink it. When making tea, they don’t have any skills. Moreover, no matter what kind of tea, they just pour boiling water directly to brew it. To be honest, this is very amateurish! And it is difficult to drink the best taste of tea.
So how do you make tea that tastes good? Expert: Learn these 3 tea-making skills, and no matter what kind of tea you make in the future, the tea will be mellow and delicious. If you have tea at home, you must learn it!
Tips 1. Wake up the tea before making tea
Many people have no concept of "waking up the tea". When making tea, they just pour boiling water directly. In fact, for some teas, it is very necessary to wake up the tea.
For example, we often drink Pu'er tea and old white tea . This type of tea is often stored for a long time, so before making tea, you need to wake up the tea leaves and wash the tea with hot water, so that the leaves can stretch out and the tea flavor can be brewed later.
As for tea leaves such as green tea, black tea and oolong tea, if the tea leaves are not too old, there is no need to wash them. Just scald the tea set with hot water, and then add the tea to brew. Use the residual temperature on the cup to wake up the tea, so as not to waste the essence of the first tea.
Tip 2. The water temperature used for different teas is different
There has always been controversy about the water temperature for making tea. Some people think that good tea does not need to be scalded by boiling water, and only boiling water can bring out the flavor. In fact, this depends on the type of tea. The water temperature used for tea with different characteristics is also different.
For example, green tea and yellow tea are mostly fresh buds and leaves that are not resistant to brewing. The best taste is brewed with a water temperature of about 85 degrees. If the temperature is too high, the tea leaves will be easily scalded and the tea will taste astringent.
Black tea and oolong tea are both fermented teas, and the substances in the tea are easier to separate out. It is enough to brew them with water temperature above 90 degrees.
And black tea, old white tea are relatively thick and old, and have been aged for a long time. It is better to brew them directly with boiling water to maximize the essence.
Tip 3. Pay attention to the tea brewing time
If you want to drink good tea soup, you must control the soaking time of tea leaves and separate the tea water in time.
If tea leaves are soaked in water for too long, the tea soup will be too strong, bitter and astringent, not only unpleasant to drink, but also burdensome to the body.
Therefore, it is best to make the soup within 30 seconds for the first few teas, and the time can be appropriately extended later.
Has everyone learned the above tea-making skills? You can use it when making tea in the future. I believe it will definitely make your tea taste better than before. However, if you want tea to taste good, the quality of the tea must pass the standard. If inferior tea contains insufficient tea, it will be useless no matter how good your tea-making technique is.
Many people have no idea about the quality of tea. Next, I will take these two local teas as examples to show you the characteristics of high-quality tea.
Xianwu Fengming
This is a high mountain black tea produced in Sichuan. It is a national geographical indication protected product . It has excellent quality and affordable price. It is a fine black tea that ordinary people can afford.
First of all, its place of origin has absolute advantages.Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "high mountain clouds produce good tea." This tea is produced in the high mountain tea garden in Yibin, Sichuan. The high mountains and excellent environment here are the best place for tea trees to grow.
Secondly, its raw materials are very high quality. Due to the large temperature difference in the mountains, the tea tree growth cycle will be longer, which also gives the tea leaves time to absorb nutrients. The tea will grow thick and tender, rich in nutrients, so it has the characteristics of "high fragrance, strong flavor".
Then, the craftsmanship is very sophisticated. In order to retain the nutrients in the fresh leaves, the tea-making technique of the country's "intangible cultural heritage" is selected, giving this tea a unique "tangerine sugar aroma" and a refreshing taste when drinking.
Looking at the dry tea, the appearance is clean and free of impurities, the roots are clear, firm and shiny, the golden hair is exposed, and has a light fragrance;

Just like Rizhao Green Tea, it is a new star in the domestic green tea industry. It has a unique style and is not inferior to southern tea.
