As the saying goes, a mother gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different.
When watching "Dream of Red Mansions", I have a deep understanding.
For example, Jia Huan, the brother of Jia Baoyu's mother -in -law.
He is the nominal three master of Jiafu, but because of his humble origin, he is only known.
In particular, when Baoyu, who was in love with thousands of pets, was dwarfed.
Although Tanchun and Jia Huan, the sisters and sisters were all out.
But the former was raised on Mrs. Wang, and the love of Mother Jia, while the latter was raised by Aunt Zhao.
After receiving different values and education, different lives have been achieved.
Therefore, Tanchun seems to be able to take the sun in a jump, and Jia Huan's world has only endless rainy days.
Jia Huan has no advantage.
At least Cao Lao's description of his appearance was only eight words, and he said it from his father Jia Zheng's mouth.
"The characters are trivial, and the behavior is deserted."
It can be seen that even in the eyes of my father, the child could not get on the table, rude.
It's really amazing.

There are different treatment between people.
Between tea and tea, it will also be treated differently.
For example, when talking about the topic of "washing tea", everyone often discusses which tea needs to be washed, and which kind of tea does not need to be washed.
Some people think that tea with green tea and white tea does not need to be washed;
Some people think that new tea does not need to be washed, old tea needs to be washed;
Some people even proposed that handmade tea should be washed, because it is not clean, and the tea made by the machine can rest assured to drink and drink it with no need to wash tea.
In short, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the wife is reasonable.
But who is more reasonable in the ears of the new tea friend is often blank.
Therefore, the village aunt Chen explained one by one to let everyone understand the above three views today.
First of all, green tea and white tea with low degree of fermentation do not need to wash tea.
Of course not.
The degree of fermentation only represents the process of tea and determines what aroma and taste it can present.
The green tea that is not fermented, the green leaves of the soup; the micro -fermented white tea, fresh and mellow; full fermented black tea, fresh sweet and strong ...
It is precisely because of different processes and different degrees of fermentation that six major tea categories have been evolved.
The level of fermentation is not directly related to the clean degree of tea.
In the final analysis, the purpose of tea washing is due to hygiene requirements.
Everyone thinks that a tea is not clean enough and is not hygienic. Only then can you think of the use of tea to remove impurities and make the tea soup cleaner.
However, the tea is not clean and the tea needs to be washed. In fact, it depends on the quality.
Good quality tea, good production areas, good craftsmanship, and storage. Regardless of the degree of fermentation, it is clean and clean, without impurities and foreign matter.
The brewed tea soup is clean and translucent, and the first tea soup can be used directly.

Secondly, new tea does not need to be washed, old tea should I wash?
In the tea circle, the recognized tea that can be stored for a long time, and the more fragrant tea is white and black tea.
As the year of storage increases, the content of tea in the tea will also be transformed.
However, whether this transformation is benign or malignant, it mainly depends on storage conditions.
Take white tea, for example, storing white tea needs to be sealed, dry, avoid light, cool, and odorless. These five requirements are indispensable.
Because white tea is a kind of tea that is happy and wet, moisture -proof is the top priority.
Some careful tea friends also bought a small wetting machine and placed it next to the carton to keep the room dry.
In addition, strong light will oxidize white tea, and the strong odor in the room will also make white tea flavor.
Therefore, depositing tea is a meticulous work and cannot be sloppy.
Old white tea that is well stored still maintains extremely dry state.
In addition, because of sealing all year round, the external impurities and foreign matter will not invade the inside of the carton, making the tea "dirty".
No matter how high the year of the year, as long as the storage is in place, it will not become dirty.
Of course, if you do n’t usually love your white tea, you often forget to seal, so that the tea is exposed to the air for a long time.
After accumulation, white tea will be stained with dust, and even after the water content is increased, it will deteriorate and deteriorate, and the odor and odor will be born.
Only when this kind of old white tea is reached, can I wash and drink.
However, even if it is washed, it is difficult to ensure cleanness and hygiene.
After all, the inside content has been destroyed and transformed out of bad material.
Washing and drinking is just a psychological comfort.
As for black tea, the process is different from white tea.
In the later storage, some microorganisms or other things may be generated.
For health considerations, some tea friends will wash a tea before drinking black tea and drinking, or moisturize tea. It is understandable.
It can be seen that even if it is old tea, there are different ways to deal with different tea.

Finally, do you have to wash tea by handmade tea?
Not necessarily.
Handmade tea, as the name suggests, refers to the tea made of all artificially, without machine participation.
Before the tea making machinery was invented, all the tea was handmade tea.
The theme of the discussion of today's article is not the concept of handmade tea.
It is that in the production process, there are tea leaves, whether it is necessary to wash tea. Some tea friends are very taboo for "hands".
When I heard this tea processing, I touched my hand and felt that it would be contaminated with bacteria.
Therefore, it will make people feel dirty and drink after washing tea.
If it is made of tea made by the machine, it will be relatively relieved, because it is cleaner than people, you don't need to wash tea.
But this point of view is really unaware.
It is undeniable that there will be bacteria on people's hands.
Is there no floating bacteria in the air? Do we usually live in an absolutely sterile environment?
What do you use to do?
Besides, the tea produced by the whole machine may not be good.
Speaking of tea picking, the efficiency of hand -made tea is not at the same level as mechanical tea collection.
Handmade tea can choose a suitable maturity. According to the old tenderness of the leaves, the leaves are picked, and the tea trees are not damaged.
The machine's tea collection is not flexible enough.
Therefore, for many high -end tea, it is better to collect tea.
Like the tea gardens on the Taiyu Mountain, most of them are built on the mountain. The machine's tea picking is slow, and it is not as fast as artificially.
The tea farmers flipped up between the tea trees, and after a while, they picked a basket.
The preliminary division of different categories also saved a lot of energy for subsequent picking.
I secretly tell everyone one thing, even if it is machine tea, it will inevitably encounter.
Therefore, instead of entangled handmade tea and machine tea, it is better to buy the really good tea.
In this way, there is no need to wash tea nor wasting the nutrients of tea leaves.

For good tea, it is generally reluctant to wash tea.
People are clean and not dyed.
In the first tea soup, it contains rich nutrients, which is a pity to fall off.
Moreover, such as rock tea, black tea, etc., there are twisted tea leaves, which will be thoroughly stretched until the end.
If there is something dirty, it may be wrapped in a roper.
What can I wash away in the second few seconds of tea washing?
Therefore, we should put more minds in the quality of tea.
In addition, we should also believe that there are quality practitioners in the industry.
There are still people who are serious about tea.
It's just to understand that a penny will be carried out, and the pie will not drop the pie in the sky.
Avoid buying Sanwu products, and choosing a reliable, qualified tea is a positive solution.
It is not easy to create. If you think this article is helpful to you, please like it.
