What are the brewing methods and benefits of Tieguanyin?
After all, daily Tieguanyin irrigation is different from tea performance. Many online filling methods of Tieguanyin are reproduced in the process of tea performance, which is neither understandable nor practical. Let me sort out our daily methods of pouring Tieguanyin for the reference of Tieguanyin lovers. The following pictures were taken by myself. 1. First boil the water with tools such as gas stove, instant bubble and induction cooker. If you want to burn it, you will soak it. Because making tea requires high temperature and boiling at 100 degrees, there are two requirements,100 degrees and simultaneous boiling. Because the boiling point of water is+100 degrees Celsius, water contains the highest amount of heat. This is easy to achieve, as long as the water in the pot is always on, you should rush directly into the tea set such as the cover bowl when brewing. If you use the water in the thermos, the effect will be greatly reduced. Many academic articles say that it is best to use 80-degree water to make tea, and it will definitely not taste. No one who knows Tieguanyin will do this. It is suggested to use high-power water boiling equipment to make the water boil quickly, so that the quality of the brewed tea is better. And the water quality of Tieguanyin must be better. Well water, bottled water, mountain spring water or mineral water will do. Never use tap water in the city. The better the water quality, the better the soaking effect. 2. Preparation and selection of tea-making tools. Take Gai Bowl as an example here, because Tieguanyin is basically brewed with Gai Bowl. In Anxi, it can be said that the brewing rate with a covered bowl is above 98%. It is suitable for brewing Tieguanyin in a covered bowl, especially the fragrant Tieguanyin, and should not be soaked for a long time. You can smell more tea. The aroma of Tieguanyin oolong tea mainly means that brewing is the aroma of bowl cover. Regarding the capacity and material of the cover bowl, you can refer to the choice of the cover bowl and the small teacup, which are acceptable. There is also a tea sea (the white porcelain container on the right), a tea filter (the transparent little thing on the spring frame) used in conjunction with the tea sea, and a small clip. Tea clips are used to hold teacups for guests to drink. They are neither hot nor hygienic. High white porcelain tea set can be used as the best reference color for observing tea color, including leaf bottom color and tea soup color. Tea sets, such as purple sand, will absorb part of the aroma because of loose pores, thus weakening the aroma of Tieguanyin, and the fragrant Tieguanyin is not suitable. Luzhou-flavor Tieguanyin is acceptable because its main product is tea soup. Wash these tea sets as soon as the water boils. 3. Put the tea leaves in a covered bowl. Most Tieguanyin bubbles sold now are 7 grams, and a small bag is enough. Now there is another one in 8 grams, in Guangdong, 10 more grams. The capacity of the bowl should be selected according to the number of tea leaves. If it is in bulk, you can master the amount of tea by yourself as needed. There are many people who drink tea. They like strong tea, so you can put more. 4. "Run tea". Rinse it with boiling water. The purpose is to moisten the tea, increase the temperature of the tea, and make the tightly knotted tea slightly open, which is convenient for secondary brewing aroma. Some articles say that this is about paying attention to hygiene and "washing" the tea. This statement is one-sided. In all kinds of Tieguanyin books, there is no such statement. 5. smell. Then pour in boiling water and cover the bowl for a while. You can control your own time. If you don't want to be thicker, wait a little longer. Next, you can open the lid and smell the fragrance. The aroma of cup lid is the most important aspect of tea quality. Some friends feel that they have contact with Tieguanyin, and they always ask me the time of each bubble. Here's an answer. First of all, please don't take making tea too seriously, and have a relaxed and natural mood. Make tea simple and easy. There is no fixed procedure for this. For example, Cantonese people are used to making a lot of tea, but the soaking time is very short. If you really want a brewing time plan, then Zhan tea farmers will take 7 grams of Tieguanyin 1 10ML as an example to illustrate. A general principle of fragrant Tieguanyin is "Don't soak it for a long time", because soaking it for a long time will ripen the aroma of Tieguanyin and mix the aroma and taste. What do you mean by long? Zhan tea farmers think it should not exceed 35 seconds. Of course, it is not absolute. Some tea leaves are loose and come out as soon as they are soaked, while others are tight and take a long time to soak for the first time. Friends can master it by themselves, soaking for about 30 seconds at a time. After the fourth bubble, it can be extended appropriately. You can adjust it according to your own feelings. If the taste is weak, it can be extended appropriately. On the contrary, it can be reduced. 6. After smelling the fragrance, pour the tea soup into the tea sea, put the tea filter on the tea sea, and filter the tea scraps. It is inevitable that there will be more or less debris in the production process of Tieguanyin, and it will take a while. You can also pour it directly into a small cup. 7. Pour the tea soup in the tea sea into a small teacup, and then enjoy the color of the tea soup. 8. Clip the teacups before sending them to the guests. 9. Finally appreciate the smell and taste of tea soup. Taste tea soup. 10, and the next second and third bubbles are brewed according to the above method. The specific brewing depends on the tolerance and personal preference of tea. Generally speaking, the degree of bubble resistance is arranged in this way, according to the type of tea from high to low: Chen tea Tieguanyin >; Luzhou-flavor Tieguanyin > Rhyme-flavor Tieguanyin >: Fen-flavor Tieguanyin is generally graded from high to low according to these principles: heavy fermentation >; Mild fermentation; Fresh and tender leaves > thick and old leaves; Tieguanyin Mountain > Tieguanyin Plain. When exchanging knowledge about Tieguanyin with tea lovers, we often encounter some related problems. Here, we summarize and classify them, hoping to help Tieguanyin lovers.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty, there was a record in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica that "seventy-two poisons were encountered every day, and tea was used to solve them". In the 20th century, scientists discovered that there is a flavonoid mixture in tea, which has the function of sterilization and detoxification. Value 2: Beauty, weight loss and anti-aging. According to the article, medical research shows that Tieguanyin's crude catechin combination has strong anti-chemical activity and can eliminate active oxygen molecules in cells, thus protecting the human body from aging diseases.

Value three: preventing cancer and increasing intelligence. According to relevant scientific research results, Anxi Tieguanyin has a high selenium content, ranking first among the six famous teas. Selenium can stimulate immune proteins and antibodies to resist diseases and inhibit the occurrence and development of cancer cells. At the same time, Anxi Tieguanyin also has the effect of increasing wisdom. It is mentioned in the article that British scientists have found that the pH of human brain fluid is related to IQ. Tea is an alkaline drink, and Tieguanyin in Anxi is obviously alkaline. Regular drinking can adjust the acid-base balance of human body and improve people's IQ. In addition, the article also said that Anxi Tieguanyin is rich in vitamins, caffeine, amino acids, minerals and tea polyphenols. These substances have also been confirmed by scientific research, which are closely related to brain development and have a good influence on improving people's intelligence.

The article also analyzes the social attributes of Anxi Tieguanyin, and holds that Anxi Tieguanyin, as a high-quality tea, has unique effects in hospitality, making friends and personal cultivation. The article said that Anxi Tieguanyin needs brewing, and guests should wash cups. In the process of preparation, the host and guest should be caring and attentive and have a harmonious relationship; The guests catch up with the host while drinking tea, and the process is very harmonious and friendly. Therefore, programmed brewing and drinking can make people feel calm and help nourish their hearts and feelings. Value five: refreshing and good at thinking. Drinking tea can refresh and think. Almost everyone knows it. There are many medical books in China in the past dynasties, and all the literati and monks in the past dynasties waved their wonderful pens and praised the refreshing and beneficial effects of tea. Bai Juyi's poem "To the Thirteen Kings of the East" said: "Chi Pan's moon is hand in hand, and bamboo is blowing. Drive away the sorrow and know the strength of the wine, and break the sleep and see the tea. " This poem clearly mentions the efficacy of tea in refreshing and breaking sleep. Su Dongpo's poem said: "Make thirty cups of tea, regardless of taste, and pack laymen with monks who beat sand people." He said that he would give the tea to Bao Jushi and let him drink it to avoid falling asleep during meditation. Drinking tea can be beneficial to thinking, so it is loved by people, especially some writers, poets and other mental workers. For example, Balzac, a great French writer, Han, a Chinese-American woman writer, and Yao, a famous writer in China, all like drinking tea to help their writing. Tieguanyin can refresh the mind, and its function mainly lies in caffeine in tea. Caffeine can excite the central nervous system, improve thinking and improve efficiency. Therefore, drinking tea can break sleep, refresh and relieve boredom, clear the mind, improve thinking, and significantly improve oral defense ability and mathematical thinking response. At the same time, Tieguanyin contains polyphenols and other compounds, which counteracts the adverse effects of pure caffeine on human body. This is also one of the important reasons for the long history, enduring and continuous development of tea drinking.
