Four seasons tea recommendation
1, spring tea-refers to the tea picked from late March to mid-May of that year. The moderate temperature and abundant rainfall in spring, coupled with the recuperation of tea trees for half a year in winter, make spring tea buds full, green in color, soft in leaves and rich in vitamins, especially amino acids. It not only makes the taste of spring tea fragrant, but also has health care function. (such as melon slices)
2. Summer tea-refers to the hot summer weather of tea picked from early May to early July, and the rapid growth of new shoots and leaves of tea trees, which makes the content of water extracts that can dissolve tea soup relatively reduced, especially the reduction of amino acids, making the taste and aroma of tea soup less rich than that of spring tea. Because the contents of bitter anthocyanins, caffeine and tea polyphenols are more than those of spring tea, purple buds and leaves not only add different colors, but also taste bitter. (such as Pu 'er tea)
3. Autumn tea-tea picked after mid-August. The climatic conditions in autumn are between spring and summer. When tea trees grow in spring and summer, the content of new shoots and new buds is relative, which makes the leaves smaller, brittle, yellow in color and more peaceful in taste and aroma. (such as Tieguanyin)
4. Tea picking in winter began on June 38+10/the end of October. Winter tea grows after autumn tea harvest, and the climate gradually turns cold. Because the new shoots and buds of winter tea grow slowly and the content increases gradually, the taste is mellow and the aroma is rich. (such as frozen top oolong)
What's the point of drinking tea?
There are four seasons for drinking tea: scented tea in spring, green tea in summer, green tea in autumn and black tea in winter. The reason is that people who drink scented tea in spring can emit the cold evil accumulated in the human body all winter, and the rich fragrance can promote the occurrence of human yang. In summer, drinking green tea is better. Green tea tastes bitter and cold, which can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, detoxify and quench thirst, and strengthen the heart. In autumn, drinking green tea is better. This kind of tea is neither too hot nor too cold, which can eliminate residual heat in the body and restore body fluid. Drinking black tea in winter is ideal. Black tea is sweet and warm, rich in protein, which can help digestion, tonify the body and strengthen the body.
