Tea not only pays attention to sensory enjoyment such as color, aroma and taste, but also pays more attention to the cultural connotation of tea. For example, in Yangzhou, the "Red Teahouse" adapted from the famous novel A Dream of Red Mansions was launched in the "Riyueming Teahouse", with a wide range of products, including 25 varieties such as pine nuts and goose oil rolls, crab roe, and Ruyisuo tablets. There are rich cultural connotations behind each variety, so that customers can know little-known production methods and story allusions while tasting. For example, in the forty-first episode of Plum Blossom Snow in the Tea Garden, it was written that the dim sum that the Lady Dowager told everyone to "eat whatever they want" was: "After the banquet in the Jingu Pavilion was over, the maids sent two boxes of dim sum, one was steamed with pine nuts and the other was Osmanthus Jelly with lotus root starch ..." In the sixty-second episode, another sentence was added, "On Baoyu's birthday, the official handed me lunch. Among them, the cream pine nut roll crisp also appeared in the "red tea house" launched this time.

Another example: The 41st time in A Dream of Red Mansions describes the cakes and snacks of the Jia family. Rice flour is made into more than 40 flower shapes such as chrysanthemum, plum blossom and water chestnut by special silver molding, and each flower shape is only the size of a bean. No wonder grandma Liu saw small fruits (snacks) when she was eating, and she wanted to eat them, but she was reluctant to eat them. She deliberately chose a peony-shaped flower and said that she would take it back to make flowers for rural women. The regionality of refreshments mainly stems from the eating habits of one party. For example, the northern part of Jiangxi is rich in tea, especially the cloud tea of Lushan Mountain in Jiujiang. Local residents live with local tea products as their characteristics, and have developed classic teas such as jiujiang tea cake, Crispy Sugar, Ciba and Amigo. Most of these refreshments are made of local products, with exquisite appearance and unique taste. They complement the fragrance of Wuyun tea. As the saying goes, it is a great pleasure in life to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lushan Mountain, taste fragrant cloud tea and eat Jiujiang famous spots.

There are many people who like to drink kungfu tea in Minnan, Fujian and Chaoshan, Guangdong. Kung fu tea is very strong and fragrant, so it should be accompanied by snacks. These snacks are exquisite, not only delicious, but also elegant in appearance. From big to small moon cakes, there are mainly mung bean paste pie, coconut cake and mung bean cake, as well as "taro jujube" with southern Fujian characteristics, as well as various puffed foods and candied fruit. Usually, family and friends drink tea and taste it together, which makes them feel happy. Cantonese call morning tea "one cup and two pieces", that is, a cup of tea and two snacks. Tea is a clear drink, and the seasoning is prepared separately, which can not only satisfy the stomach, but also keep the taste of tea.

For another example, there are many teahouses in old Beijing, which are different from those in the south. There are few teahouses in old Beijing, but book teahouses are very popular. Tea tasting is only an aid, and listening to storytelling is the main thing. Therefore, refreshments are mostly snacks such as melon seeds, which is very casual. However, there is a teahouse in Beijing called "Honglu Pavilion", which is full of Manchu dim sum, small and exquisite, with eight large pieces and eight small pieces, mainly including Aiwowo, bee cakes, forks, pot cakes and sesame cakes in Beijing. Customers can enjoy tea at the same time. The development of refreshments should be timely and reflect the characteristics of the times. With the development of tea-making technology, tea has become an important raw material for many specialty refreshments. These refreshments add a little interest and fun to the process of drinking tea. For example, green tea melon seeds are carefully made from top-grade pumpkin seeds and green tea powder. The meat is thick, crisp and delicious, and can be peeled off and eaten, or it can be contained in the mouth as a whole. Because of the addition of green tea powder, it contains a variety of tea elements and does not get angry. It is a healthy tea food in leisure. Another example: tea fudge, which is refined from high-grade steamed green tea and high-calcium and low-fat milk powder. The taste is delicate and smooth, and it does not stick to teeth after eating. It is a green tea food with high calcium, low fat and low calorie. In addition, there are tea jelly and so on, which have injected many fashion elements into the ever-changing refreshment market.

For another example, due to the influence of western food culture, there are many kinds of baked snacks in Guangdong, such as frankincense egg cake, truffle cake, crispy pineapple bag and Lingnan chicken egg tart. There are other kinds of egg tarts, milk tarts, crisp tarts, sago tarts and crisp horns with Lingnan flavor, all of which are excellent products for baking refreshments. Because the baked dim sum pays great attention to the selection of materials, the collocation of portions, the shape and the baking temperature and time, the produced dim sum will be beautiful and delicious, and the shape is very innovative from taste to taste, which is the perfect combination of Cantonese dim sum technology and fashion creativity.

In short, tea should be accompanied with tea, just like safflower and green leaves complement each other. A pot of good tea, some refreshments and a completely relaxed mood can taste the charm of good tea. A good cup of tea with exquisite snacks is more interesting. 1. Refreshments should be suitable for tea.

The principle of drinking tea in leisure time can be summarized into a small formula, which is "sweet with green, sour with red, melon seeds with oolong". The so-called sweet with green: that is, sweets with green tea to drink, such as using all kinds of cookies, pineapple cake and other green tea; Sour with red: sour food with black tea, such as fruit, lemon slices and candied fruit with black tea; Melon seed oolong: salty food with oolong tea, such as melon seeds, peanuts and olives with oolong tea.

2. refreshments should be decorative

Compared with traditional snacks, refreshments are more exquisite in production, paying attention to the color and shape of refreshments and the appreciation of refreshments. For example, jiaozi, a crystal butterfly, is as crystal as shame. When jiaozi steamed, A auto quickly inserted the "butterfly beard" made of shark fin needle, which was lifelike and wonderful. The vegetarian stuffing is colorful and pleasing to the eye through the transparent thin skin; Another example: the traditional fresh shrimp dumplings for tea are crystal clear in a small and exquisite steamer, and the fresh shrimp is shy pink and faintly visible. The entrance is flexible and elastic. Because the horseshoe mud is added to the stuffing, it keeps crisp and refreshing in the greasy room of shrimp, which seems to be reserved for tea drinkers. On the basis of fresh shrimp dumplings, the innovative "Green White Rabbit Tangyuan" takes lean meat and fresh shrimp as fillings, changes into the shape of a small white rabbit, takes ham as eyes, and puts a plate of coriander at the bottom, just like a group of small white rabbits playing in the grass. ...

3. Tea should be tasty.

Tea tasting focuses on chewing slowly and savoring carefully, so as a tea, it should be very tasty. For example, "Li Hongbubugao" is a kind of refreshment made of litchi black tea soup mixed with horseshoe powder, red and white, layered on top of each other. Firstly, a part of tea soup, horseshoe powder, white sugar and condensed milk are mixed to make milk paste, and the remaining tea soup is boiled with white sugar and milk powder to make tea soup paste. The two pastes are steamed in layers, frozen and carved into various shapes with molds. Chew it carefully, it is cool and smooth, and the elegant aroma of litchi black tea lingers in the mouth, accompanied by a cup of black tea, with a long aftertaste. Another example: durian crisp, its crispy skin is as thin as cicada's wings, the surface is slightly brushed with clear oil, sprinkled with a few sesame seeds, and gently bitten off the thin shell, just like eating a freshly peeled durian. The number of durians is unexpected, and the rich fragrance rises on the tip of the tongue. This durian is the magic of durian crisp. Stir-fried Dragon Ball Fragrant Hemp Roll with Dragon Ball Tea is made by wrapping glutinous rice with stuffing such as lean meat, shrimp and carrot, rolling it into a "Japanese" shape, then sweeping egg yolk, sesame and Dragon Ball Tea, and frying it in a pot until golden brown. The tea leaves are embedded in the outer skin, scattered and crisp, which makes people's lips and teeth fragrant.

4. refreshments should be diversified

There are many kinds of refreshments and flavors in China. As far as local flavors are concerned, there are Beijing-Shandong flavor and northwest flavor in the Yellow River basin, Su Yang flavor and Sichuan-Hunan flavor in the Yangtze River basin, and Guangdong-Fujian flavor in the Pearl River basin. In addition, there are snacks of Northeast China, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei and Henan, and ethnic flavor. There are many snacks to choose from. Under the general policy of "combining thinness with thinness, with diverse tastes", you can choose any number of traditional refreshments such as spring rolls, fried dumpling, jiaozi, Shaoshao, steamed bread, jiaozi, steamed buns, home-cooked cakes and tremella soup, and you can also use innovative refreshments because of different types of tea. For example, tea jelly is made by carefully mixing jelly with four kinds of tea with different flavors (black tea, green tea, jasmine tea and oolong tea), and it has a unique taste without adding pigments and preservatives. It is a pure natural healthy food. In addition, there are tea seeds, tea toffee and so on.
