Whether tofu brain is sweet or salty, whether zongzi wants meat dumplings or sweet dumplings, whether to eat dumplings or glutinous rice balls on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the "orthodox" dispute between the north and the south over the taste of home-cooked food has always been a hot topic. Seven things to open the door "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea", in addition to diet, Chinese people are inseparable from drinking tea every day.
In fact, the huge difference between the north and the south hidden in the tea circle is in the regional preference of tea ware, because this generation of young people has not yet become the main force of tea drinking, and the war has not yet been affected. That belongs to the ultimate competition in the tea circle, whether to use a big pot or a small pot to drink tea?
North: Drink tea in a big teapot
If you go to the northerners' homes for the Chinese New Year, you will find that especially the older people, they are using a large teapot to make tea to entertain guests, not only the teapot is large, the teacup is also large, and often there is a handle not to worry about hot hands, even if seven or eight people drink tea at the same time, they can also drink tea in a big gulp.
In the winter in the north, the weather is cold and frozen, the climate is dry, a cup of black tea can quench your thirst in the stomach, and you can also warm your heart and lungs.
South: Tea tastes in a small teapot
As soon as the picture turns, when you come to the Fujian region of Guangdong, which is rich in tea, the birthplace of Zhengshan Xiaozhong and Dahongpao, you will find that every family prefers to use exquisite teapots, and the teacups are also more exquisite. Whether it is a special treat or a daily self-drink, it is all in the form of kung fu tea.
Most of the favorite tea sets are small teapots or covered bowls, and there will be exquisite tea sets with a set of "troublesome" processes. More detailed, the tea table directly replaces the coffee table, and it is equipped with tea rules, tea clips, tea needles and other tea ceremony accessories, which is very thoughtful.
In the eyes of southerners, it is a pity to use a large pot to brew Zhengyan tea and waste tea leaves. The small teapot with a capacity of 120 ml may not be enough for one person to drink, but for the southerners who pay attention to the amount of rock tea, it is just right.
In the Chaoshan area, only three cups are generally used to drink tea, which happens to be a "product" word. Three or two people sit around, a pot of tea to come out just three cups, a cup is a mouthful, a small teacup to drink several rounds to have a sense of satisfaction, after three meals a day, go to the neighbor's house, will drink tea, this tea is a day, this is also an unimaginable scene in the north.
Drinking tea, how comfortable how to come
Now there is a saying that "tea in the south is drunk in the north", and the Fujian Wuyi rock tea and Yunnan Pu'er tea, which were rarely known in the north in the past, have slowly entered the tea drinking life of the northerners. Perhaps also due to some influence from Japan, the tea ceremony also began to revivenation, causing many people to drink tea at a loss, buy a bunch of tea sets and put them there as decorations, usually do not use them.
Drinking tea is also different from tea to tea, the north loves to drink flower tea or black tea, and uses a large teapot to make black tea, and will not worry about not gathering fragrance and simmering tea leaves. If you drink oolong tea such as high-flavored Wuyi rock tea, it is more suitable to make a teapot with a small taste.
In short, there is no standard for drinking tea, just conform to your own tea drinking Xi, and happiness is the true meaning. What kind of teapot do you usually use to drink tea?
