As early as 4,700 years ago in Shennong, people found that fresh tea can detoxify. Therefore, people in China always pay more attention to the medicinal effects of health care and disease prevention when drinking tea. China's earliest tea classics, Tea Classics, recorded that "those who are thirsty, stuffy, headache, dim eyes, weak limbs and uncomfortable knots can talk about four or five small mouths and compete with dew". The 186 tea books that survived during the Republic of China all recorded that "drinking tea is good for health". According to rough statistics, tea * * * has 20 or 30 kinds of health-care effects, including promoting digestion and relieving boredom, reducing fire and improving eyesight, calming the heart and relieving annoyance, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst.

The difference between China tea and English tea

First, the utility is different.

As early as 4,700 years ago in Shennong, people found that fresh tea can detoxify. Therefore, people in China always pay more attention to the medicinal effects of health care and disease prevention when drinking tea. China's earliest tea classics, Tea Classics, recorded that "those who are thirsty, stuffy, headache, dim eyes, weak limbs and uncomfortable knots can talk about four or five small mouths and compete with dew". The 186 tea books that survived during the Republic of China all recorded that "drinking tea is good for health". According to rough statistics, tea * * * has 20 or 30 kinds of health-care effects, including promoting digestion and relieving boredom, reducing fire and improving eyesight, calming the heart and relieving annoyance, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst.

The British emphasize the nutritional value of drinking tea. English breakfast tea has pure and rich taste and obvious refreshing effect. English afternoon tea tastes light and elegant, and can be eaten with bread, biscuits, muffins, scones and chocolate. , you can add more nutrition and calories for the afternoon. ?

Second, the collocation is different.

Tea drinking can be divided into clear drinking, mixed drinking and mixed drinking. Yao Guokun said that in China, people attach great importance to clear drinking, and making tea directly with boiling water can maintain the purity of tea fragrance and the efficacy of tea. On the contrary, the British like to "mix and match" or "mix and match", that is, put different kinds of tea (at least two kinds) in one tea bag. The famous English afternoon tea is a mixture of Darjeeling tea and Ceylon tea. British people also add one or two cubes of sugar and a little cold milk to black tea. ?

Third, the types are different.

Green tea is widely planted in China, which is suitable for most people's tastes, while black tea is mainly used in Britain. Yao Guokun said that in fact, Britain started to drink green tea, but local people like to drink milk, and drinking green tea tastes slightly worse. Therefore, black tea produced in South and Southeast Asian countries such as India has gradually become the national drink. There is a kind of "herbal tea" in Britain, which pays more attention to nutrition and health care, similar to the "health tea" in China. In addition, various fruit teas are mixed with various ingredients to achieve special taste requirements and nutritional effects. ?

Fourth, the time difference.

Yao Guokun emphasized that although you can drink tea at any time, China has formed a unique morning tea culture, and the British are keen on afternoon tea. There is a folk proverb in China: "A cup of tea in the morning will starve to death and sell medicine." In many parts of China, especially in Guangdong, it has become a tradition to go to teahouses for tea in the morning. English people don't pay attention to lunch. They don't eat dinner until after eight o'clock in the evening. The long interval between meals in the morning and evening is prone to hunger and fatigue. Therefore, under the guidance of the British upper class, people will eat snacks and have a cup of tea around four or five in the afternoon.

Chinese and English teas have their own ways to maintain health-People's Health Network-People's Network.
