In spring, everything comes back to life. At this time, we drink more green tea. In addition to the usual accessories, we will also add some roses, Elaeagnus angustifolia flowers and acacia flowers, which are the main flowers, which is the original intention of the liver. Like roses, it soothes the liver, relieves depression, removes blood stasis and dissipates stagnation. The summer climate is hot, so cool green tea is supplemented with rock sugar, raisins and dried sour apricots. It can quench thirst, relieve summer heat and protect vaginal fluid. In autumn, the climate is dry, and we will drink green tea, supplemented by honey, walnuts and sesame seeds, which will help to moisturize and prevent autumn dryness from hurting the lungs and causing cough in winter. In winter, the weather is cold. At this time, drinking tea should be based on nourishing the heart and protecting the kidney. Drink more hot black tea, supplemented by medlar, round meat, red dates and brown sugar to fry ginger juice to warm the heart and benefit the kidney.

Tea ceremony pays attention to water quality and the use of mountain spring water. The water quality is soft, free of impurities, clear and sweet, and the brewed tea is bright and thorough. However, it is difficult for urban residents to drink mountain spring water now. Tap water used in daily life is mostly hard water, which contains a lot of bleaching powder for disinfection. The quality of the brewed tea is naturally not much better. How can I drink good tea? Hui families, who like cleanliness, usually store tap water in tanks or put it in aluminum pot for overnight, which will make chlorine in bleaching powder emit and prolong boiling time to disperse residual chlorine. Making tea with treated water can better keep the color, fragrance and taste of tea, and it is also very refreshing.

Generally speaking, the folk custom of drinking tea in Hui nationality has the following two characteristics:

First, we attach great importance to the health care function of drinking tea. In the long-term life practice, we Hui people have learned, absorbed and developed, and summed up the way of drinking tea for health with our own national characteristics. According to the survey, one of the secrets of longevity of some centenarians of the Hui nationality is to pay great attention to the preparation of different teas to drink. For example, Babao tea attaches great importance to scientific formula and is the best health tea for Hui people.

Secondly, I like drinking sugar tea very much, which is a remarkable feature of our Hui tea drinking custom. Whether drinking tea or entertaining guests, we Hui people will add white sugar or brown sugar, rock sugar, sugar cubes and so on.
