What are the eight components of Ningxia Babao tea?
Ningxia eight-treasure tea is made of eight ingredients: tea leaves, red dates, medlar, walnut kernels, longan, sesame seeds, raisins and apple slices.

According to seasonal changes and different people's preferences, rose, hawthorn, walnut, ginseng or cassia seed can be added to form a health tea with unique flavor. The brewing of eight-treasure tea needs to add boiling water, so that the taste of each tea bomb will change slightly when drinking, because each ingredient releases a unique taste at different times.

Babao tea is a traditional tea beverage on the ancient Silk Road, which has the reputation of "the best tea in the world" and is also a traditional tea beverage of Hui and Dongxiang nationalities. Ningxia is the gathering place of the Hui population in China, and the Hui people are hospitable, so guests must make a steaming bowl of eight-treasure tea. Babao tea is not a specific kind of tea, but a health drink made of dozens of raw materials. There may or may not be tea in it, depending on personal preference and reasonable collocation.

Brewing of Babao tea

Usually when brewing Ningxia Babao tea, the prepared red dates should be pitted, cut into small pieces, and longan should be pitted. The outer hard shell should be placed directly in a covered bowl scalded with hot water. Then put the prepared tea raisins, rock sugar and sesame seeds into a covered bowl, take the boiled water and brew it directly, cover the bowl for five minutes, and then drink it after it is cooled. Be sure to pay attention to the amount of tea when brewing, and don't exceed 5 grams at a time.

Pay great attention to drinking Ningxia Babao tea at ordinary times. When drinking, you should hold the saucer in your left hand to avoid burning, and scrape it with your right hand, so that tea material can roll up and down on the surface of the tea, the nutrients can be better integrated into the tea, and the tea can be pushed away for people to taste. In addition, when drinking Ningxia Babao tea, you can't blow the tea with your mouth, and you can't drink it all at once. You have to taste it slowly to truly taste the unique taste of Ningxia Babao tea.
