In the vast tea culture, making tea is not only a ritual of life, but also the understanding and respect of tea tasters. Different tea leaves have different brewing times, and each brewing is like unlocking a secret of tea, bringing us a different taste and experience. As the mantra that circulates among tea lovers says: "Black tea and green tea are only three, the first and second are fresh, the black tea can be brewed four or five, the second and third are delicious, and the white tea is at least seven or eight times, and it is very sweet from beginning to end." The ten Pu'er paths are very stable, the three bubbles are beginning to enter the good realm, the oolong seven bubbles have a lingering fragrance, and the rock tea head is a soul soup. ”
Black tea and green tea, as the two most common teas in our daily life, are generally brewed no more than three times. The first and second tea soups, like the spring springs in spring, gently glide over the tip of the tongue with the initial fresh fragrance of tea leaves, bringing people a fresh and natural experience. Because of its special production process, black tea is more abundant in the content of tea, so it can be brewed four or five times, and in the first.
In the second and third courses, the taste of the tea soup is the most mellow, bringing people a deep aftertaste.
White tea, as a lightly fermented tea, has a slower release of the contents of the tea leaves, so it can be brewed at least seven or eight times. From beginning to end, the tea soup of white tea maintains a kind of sweetness, like a stream in the mountains, stretching endlessly.
Pu'er tea, known as a "drinkable antique", can even reach more than ten brewing times. The charm of Pu'er tea lies in its aged aroma and taste, starting from the third brew, the tea soup of Pu'er tea gradually enters the best state, the taste becomes more mellow, and the aroma is more durable.
Oolong tea and rock tea, as representatives of semi-fermented tea, are generally brewed about seven times. The tea soup of oolong tea has a unique fruity and floral aroma that lingers even after seven brews. The first tea soup of rock tea, because of its special production process and rock rhyme, is affectionately called "soul soup" by tea lovers, and its deep charm can be seen.
In general, different teas have their own unique brewing times and tastes due to their different production processes and contents. By understanding and mastering these characteristics, we can better taste and appreciate the charm of tea and feel the profound heritage of tea culture.
