Tea has been an important part of Chinese culture since ancient times. There is a folk proverb: "Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea", which shows its importance. Tea is not only our favorite beverage, but also known as the mysterious oriental leaf in the Western world.
The origins of tea have a long history, dating back thousands of years to China. According to legend, tea was first discovered by the ancient Chinese farming god Shennong. Shennong, who was the discoverer of the drug, experimented with the leaves of the tea tree and found that these boiled leaves had the magical effect of refreshing and refreshing the mind. Since then, tea has gradually integrated into the daily life of Chinese.
In China, tea is widely used, not just for beverages. It is said that the Chinese believe that tea has the effect of health preservation. Tea can not only refresh the mind, but also clear the mouth, promote digestion, and relieve greasy fat.
The appeal of tea is not limited to the territory of China, it also attracts people from all over the globe. As one of China's precious export commodities, many countries have great interest in Chinese tea. Tea is called the magic oriental leaf because of its rich nutrients and health value.
In our country, there are many types of tea, but the most common ones we drink are black tea and green tea. Black tea is a type of tea that has been fermented, with a reddish-brown tea broth, a rich aroma, and a mellow taste. The production process of black tea involves many steps, such as picking, withering, rolling, fermentation and roasting, each step of which needs to be carefully operated. When drinking black tea, you can pay attention to the shape of the leaves and the brightness of the soup color, and slowly savor its deep aroma and rich flavor.
In contrast, green tea is not fermented and is known for its fresh aroma, clear soup color and sweet taste. The common process of making green tea, which involves finishing, rolling and drying, is simpler than black tea, but it also requires delicate operations. Green tea is not only popular in China, but it is also loved by tea lovers around the world. Whether it's reminiscing about old times or spending time with friends, a cup of green tea can bring a fresh touch to life.
So do you know what kind of tea you should drink after the beginning of spring?
Taste is the main difference between black tea and green tea. Black tea has a mellow taste, dark color, high concentration, a hint of bitterness and sweet aroma, which is suitable for enjoying with desserts, candies and other sweets. Green tea, on the other hand, has a refreshing taste, is light and refreshing, and is suitable for eating with fruits, light foods, and other foods. Each tea has a specific aroma and taste, which can be chosen according to one's taste and preference.
In addition, the nutrient content of black tea and green tea is also different. Black tea is rich in tea polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants, while green tea contains a variety of beneficial substances such as catechins and vitamin C, which have a certain effect on antioxidants, promote metabolism, and maintain oral health.
After the beginning of spring, the pace of spring is gradually approaching, and the weather is beginning to change. However, the differences in climate between regions make it questionable to choose the right tea. For the south, the temperature is relatively high and the air humidity is high, so drinking green tea is a good choice. In the north, the spring is cold, the temperature is still below zero, and the air is drier and colder, so it is more appropriate to drink black tea at this time.
The temperature in the south is high, the amount of moisture in the air is also large, the air is humid, and drinking green tea can be refreshing and refreshing. The tea polyphenols and vitamin C content in green tea is high, which has a certain diuretic effect, which can effectively eliminate moisture in the body and maintain the health of the body.
Spring in the north is still cold and dry, and drinking black tea is a better choice at this time. Black tea has a warming effect on the body and is high in caffeine and tea polyphenols, which can lift the mind and help digestion. Black tea is also rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals that help boost immunity.
Therefore, the choice of drinking tea after the beginning of spring should be decided according to the local climate characteristics. Areas with higher temperatures and high humidity in the south are suitable for drinking green tea; The cold and dry regions of the north are suitable for drinking black tea.
