Introduction: Is Washing tea "washing off" the gravel inside? Do all the tea need to be washed? After reading the long knowledge
As we all know, many times, there will be a step of washing tea before drinking tea. What is tea washing? Is it just washing away the gravel and dust inside? Do all the tea need to be washed?
There are many tricks in tea culture, let alone washing tea. When washing tea, it seems like just looking at the name, it is simply rinsing the gravel, but it is not.
Tea leaves will go through multiple processes during the production process, including finishing, rolling and stuffing, etc. The aroma of the tea leaves is locked in it, and the prepared tea leaves are waiting for an opportunity to restart the tea fragrance. And the warm water used to make tea is the so-called opportunity.
1. For green tea, it is a tea with less impurities and does not require washing tea. In addition, green tea is relatively elegant. After washing tea, the tea polyphenols and nutrients of green tea are prone to be lost too much. Therefore, it is not suitable for washing tea, but is better to brew it directly.
2. For oolong tea, some need to wash tea, such as Tieguanyin . It is necessary to wash tea to increase the leaf temperature of to stimulate the aroma of tea. Take Tieguanyin as an example.
Tieguanyin
First, wash the cup with boiling water. It requires the temperature and water temperature of the container to be very high in order to fully exert its internal quality and taste. Then take an appropriate amount of Tieguanyin and pour it into in , and then rinse it quickly with 80 degrees Celsius warm water for two seconds. The choice of water is very important, and it is best to get mountain spring water. After all, good water produces good tea.
Appreciation of the soup color of tea, especially Tieguanyin, should not and should not rush to enter. The most important thing to do is to watch the color of tea. The soup color of the truly high-quality Tieguanyin is clear and golden, bright, pleasing to the eye and extremely comfortable. A good Tieguanyin has a certain acidity, and the acidity will slowly drop over time. When you smell it carefully, you will find that there are scents of faint fragrance, and all kinds of flower fragrances dance on your nose, full of pleasure.
I don’t know if you have heard of the fragrance of cheek teeth. Tea lovers who have tasted Tieguanyin will have more feelings. Take a sip while it is hot. The charm is long and sweet and astringent. It is like a breeze blowing on your face. It is a good product to relieve heat and cool down, so it is especially suitable for summer drinking.
As a type of oolong tea, Tieguanyin is particularly unbearable to soaking. Every time after soaking, all the tea must be poured out. Otherwise, the tea will be soaked in the water for a long time, and the bitter taste will continue to expand until the original flavor of Tieguanyin is lost, and the tea will be occupied by all bitterness.
3. For black tea, it has a milder nature. The first tea brewed can be used as a washing tea or retained, and the tea taste is relatively strong. If it is used as a tea washing, it takes 2-3 seconds to quickly rinse. If the fragrance and nutrients in the tea are easily lost, the tea taste will become lighter.
The tea leaves of black tea are relatively gentle and tender. The first brew tastes very strong, and the tea juice adheres to the surface of the tea leaves. After kneading and cutting black tea or red crumbled tea , the first brew becomes more intense, it is not resistant to brewing, and it is even less suitable for washing tea.
4. For black tea, it is a post-fermented tea. The raw materials are mostly rough and older, and they are mainly pressed tea . My neighbor, a senior tea friend, told me that black tea is recommended to moisten tea properly. On the one hand, it awakens the sleeping tea leaves, lets it stretch, stretch its body, and begins to show its charm. On the other hand, it can also reduce the uncomfortable smell and taste of tea due to long-term storage, so that its true cooked charm can be displayed.
5. Guess whether you need to wash tea for flower tea? The answer is of course no. Flower tea itself has its own fragrance of flowers. Washing tea will remove the fragrance of flowers, which greatly reduces the effect of flower tea. Take Chrysanthemum Tea as an example.
Selenium General Huangju
Flower tea from the hometown of longevity, big Huangju can't help but remind people of the Forbidden City hundreds of years ago, it is elegant and luxurious, with its own fragrance, attracting many attention.
Such a beautiful chrysanthemum, watered with warm water, the shriveled figure becomes rich again. Just a single soak can stimulate its beauty and fragrance to the greatest extent. The steps for washing tea are completely unnecessary, and they will also break the luxury of the emperor chrysanthemum.
The huge and plump flower shape, the long and lasting chrysanthemum fragrance, every step of making chrysanthemum tea is done by hand, and the hard work of farmers is mixed with the gifts of nature. This emperor chrysanthemum is no longer just a kind of flower tea, but the result of the efforts of nature and the result of harmonious coexistence between man and nature!
The transparent glass teapot reflects the beauty of chrysanthemums, as if letting the world see its arrogant posture. Submit this high mountain flower, we are always on the road.
In short, tea washing is also a great science. We cannot think of the text as a matter of meaning. Washing tea not only washes away impurities such as sand and gravel, but also to maximize the taste of the tea itself. So practice well, calm down, and slowly study our profound tea culture!
