Recently, the order of tea is very hot.

No matter which platform is opened, you will see articles and videos about tea ordering.

The young ladies and sisters who dressed up were sitting in front of the tea table, learning the ancients, and the steps of ordering tea.

The elegant appearance looks like a fabrication of light and lightness and no disturbance.

Presumably, everyone has read "Menghua Record" recently

Liu Yifei, who played the heroine, appeared as a boss, showing Duan Cha art performance, which really shocked the audience.

At the same time, everyone was interested in the tea of ​​the Song Dynasty.

In the concept of Village Aunt Chen, there is no dynasty. Like the Song Dynasty, life, culture, and etiquette can be regarded as the highest level of pursuit.

It was also my most wanted to cross the past, all kinds of elegant things, and to live in life.

Wu Zimu once mentioned in "Mengliang Lu", "burning incense, tea, hanging paintings, flower arrangement, all kinds of idleness, should not be tired."

This is the daily life in the ordinary life of Song Renping, but his temperament is extraordinary.

Among them, the most elegant and most lived thing is to order tea.

The literati stems from the people.

Simply put, ordering tea is a way to eat tea.

Prior to the Song Dynasty, the tea cooking method was prevailing in the Tang Dynasty, and sometimes salt and other ingredients were added to season.

Later, on this basis, a tea method was derived.

The biggest difference is that tea is no longer put into the pot to cook, but rush into the tea cup with boiling water.

From this point of view, is it a bit a bit of the prototype of our modern tea method?

And many people are curious about: Why do we rarely see tea in modern times?

The most direct reason is that it is too troublesome.

There are two categories in the Song Dynasty, one is group tea, which is steamed into pieces, also known as sliced ​​tea; the other is loose tea.

The tea used in tea is the tea, which is similar to today's steamed green tea.

It is mainly divided into six steps, namely tea, crushing, Luo tea, waiting for soup, 熁 主要, or ordering tea.

Not only that, in order to order tea, the Song people also needed to be very particular about the quality, water quality, heat, and tea sets of water.

In modern times, if it had not reached the freedom of wealth, who would have tea every day?

Not to mention, it takes time.

If you want to drink a cup of tea, you have to start with roasting tea step by step.

In the fast -paced modern life, the free time is not sufficient, and it is naturally difficult for order to order tea.

Going to the simplification is the king.

In fact, since the Ming Dynasty, simple tea drinking has been popular.

Zhu Chong Bayi ordered that "Xing San Tea, Waste Tea" caused the steamed youth group tea to fall, and the steamed green loose tea began to prevail.

At that time, the production of group tea was very complicated. It took a lot of manpower and material resources, and the civilian class could not afford it. It could only satisfy a few people enjoying it.

Even the suspicion of exploiting civilians for the nobility of the palace.

After being reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, he slowly faded out of everyone's sight.

Xing San tea, waste group tea, also started.

To this day, most of the tea that everyone sees in the market exists in the form of loose tea, and there are only a small number of tea in cake tea.

In ancient times, there were ancient tea drinking methods.

Understanding history is conducive to us to better explore tea culture, but at the same time, we must also use the development of development to see problems.

If it is unchanged, it is obviously incorrect to make tea hundreds of years ago.

What's more, the tea used at that time was different from today.

First of all, the poverty of tea in the Song Dynasty is extremely coincident. It takes fine sprouts and leaves as the raw material. It pays attention to the ultimate tenderness. The flavor after ordering tea cannot be restored one by one.

Secondly, the order of tea is green tea, and we drink it now, there are six major tea.

In the end, the tea was ordered to drink the tea, drinking the tea soup and leaves into the stomach, but we only drink tea soup now.

After listing the differences, it must be a certain understanding of the officer.

So, what is the way to drink tea for our modern people?

It can be roughly divided into three categories: cup brewing method, bowl brewing, and tea.

Cup brewing method is more suitable for making green tea.

Although green tea, as our earliest tea variety, has been linked to cups, kettles, and bowls after thousands of years. There is no glass.

But to modern times, making green tea with glass seems to have become a consensus.

The middle reason may be because everyone can look at the fresh green through the transparent cup when they are longing for spring.

And, there is no need to do.

Whether you are at home or in the office, you can get a cup of fragrant tea soup.

In addition to green tea, such as new white tea, black tea, etc., you can also make time with glass to save time.

It should be noted that the amount of tea must be controlled.

Otherwise, the brewed tea soup is too strong and too hard, but it will not be delicious.

Compared with the glass, it is slightly cumbersome to built a bowl of tea.

Not only does it need to be appropriate, but also can be placed in tea sets such as bowls, fair cups, and cups, but also requires enough time.

However, in the tea circle, the cover bowl has the title of "universal tea set".

Its everything is that almost all tea can be brewed.

Of course, it also includes green tea.

I believe that at this time, a tea friend asked, "Well, don't you say that green tea is soaked with glass cups?" It is true, but it does not mean that green tea cannot be soaked with a bowl.

In fact, as long as you control any tea, as long as you control the proportion of tea, water temperature, water quality, soup time and other factors, you can get a good flavor.

The appropriate tea set plays an bonus.

Most new tea friends have an impression of covering bowls, not easy to use, too hot.

With fear, it will be rejected.

For the tea itself, there are many advantages of covering bowls. For example, the original flavor of the tea soup can be made, it is not easy to bubble, the proportion of fast tea is easy to drain, and it is convenient to clean ...

Therefore, people who love tea must have a bowl on the tea table.

You know how to choose tea and drink tea. You can buy good tea when you know how to drink tea.

You see, this is a benign cycle.

Conversely, if you choose inappropriate tea sets, such as using purple sand pots to make all tea, it affects the flavor, which is not conducive to distinguishing the quality of tea.

It is difficult to distinguish the inferior tea, and it will not pay more attention to the selection of tea set in the future.

Therefore, it depends on whether a person will drink tea and understand whether to drink tea. Go to his tea table first.

Use a purple sand pot or a bowl? What kind of bowl is used? Is the tea set looking at the face value or heavy practical?

These details can reflect a lot of problems.

As for cooking tea, we often use it as a supplement to make tea.

That is to say, when a brewed tea was soaked in a bowl, the taste was slowly weaker, and at this time, I was reluctant to throw it away.

Good tea is not easy. Put the bottom of the leaves into a cooked tea pot, heat it at high temperature, and continue to squeeze the nutrients.

In this way, we can do not waste and use it.

However, if it is winter and the indoor temperature is low, you will also choose to cook old white tea directly.

Smelling the fragrance of tea and feeling the warm atmosphere, I can instantly understand why the ancients like to cook tea so much.

Cooking tea is a matter of elegance, no matter how many dynasties separated, it remains unchanged.

Ordering tea is a happy thing for the Song people.

Song Huizong talked very clearly that when you order tea, he had to see milk flowers, just like modern people drinking Cabchino to pull flowers.

Pay attention to visual aesthetics, and has not changed since ancient times.

It's just that modern people can no longer focus on tea like the Song people.

There are too many interference in the outside world, and we are stuck in us.

From time to time, a job phone or important thing, the action of drinking tea on your hand must be stopped immediately.

It is a pity that people are cold and cool.

Drinking tea is part of life, and you don't have to be so harsh.

It is the key to drink comfortably.

It is not easy to create. If you think this article is helpful to you, please like it.
