Hi, friends, do you know? China has a very special culture, that is tea culture. Tea is not just a drink, it also contains a lot of interesting stories and knowledge! ✨
Today, let’s embark on a wonderful journey of Chinese tea ceremony together!
First, let’s talk about tea leaves.
Tea leaves are tender leaves from tea trees🍃, which, after a series of processing, become the tea we drink. There are many types of tea leaves, such as green tea, black tea, oolong tea, etc.
Each type of tea has its own unique taste and aroma🌸,
just like each of our children has his or her own unique personality.
So, how to make tea?
Making tea is an art!
It mainly has six main steps:
Step 1: Warm the cup
This step is like giving the tea cup a hot bath🛀, we use boiling water to scald the tea cup.
This not only cleans the tea cup🍵, but also makes the tea cup warm, which can better stimulate the aroma of the tea.
Step 2: Add tea
Next, we need to put the tea leaves into the teacup.
When adding tea, you can decide how much tea leaves to put in according to the size of the teacup.
If you put too much tea leaves, the tea will be very strong;
If you put too little, the tea will be very weak.
So, it is important to add the tea just right!
Step 3: Moisten the tea
Moisten the tea is like giving the tea leaves a bath.
We pour a little hot water into the teacup, let the tea leaves and the water come into contact for a while, and then pour the water out. This will help the tea leaves to expand better and release its aroma and flavor.
Step 4: Brewing tea
Now, we are going to brew tea!
Slowly pour hot water into the teacup and let the tea slowly release its aroma and flavor in the hot water. 🥢Different teas require different brewing times, so decide how long to brew according to the type of tea!
Step 5: Draining the tea
After brewing the tea, pour the tea soup into another container. This process is called draining the tea. Be careful not to pour out the tea leaves when draining the tea soup!
Step 6: Divide the tea
The last step is to divide the tea🥣, that is, divide the brewed tea into each person’s cup.
In this way, everyone can taste the delicious👄 tea together!
When drinking tea, we should taste it slowly and feel the taste and aroma of the tea. Drinking tea can not only quench thirst, but also has many benefits! 👀For example, tea can help us digest food, refresh our minds, and make us feel better.
Friends, now you know the charm of Chinese tea culture, right?
Next time you drink tea with your family and friends, you can try to make and drink tea according to what you learned today,
and feel the wonder of Chinese tea ceremony!
