I believe that tea set is familiar to everyone. Tea set is a tool for drinking tea. Tea set is a part of tea ceremony culture. So how much do you know about tea sets? Today, I will introduce you to the knowledge of using tea sets and tell you what tea sets are needed to make oolong tea and how to make oolong tea. Interested friends come and have a look.

First, the use of tea sets.

Many people's concept of tea set is teacup and teapot, but it is not. Today, I will take oolong tea as an example to tell you that in the process of making tea, oolong tea will use other auxiliary tea sets besides teapot.

Second, the tea boat and tea tray

First, you need a tea boat and a tea tray to make tea. The tea boat is disc-shaped and bowl-shaped, and the teapot is placed inside. When holding hot water, it can be used to heat the pot, iron the cup and carry the pot. Tea trays are used to put teapots and teacups. What is commonly used now is a combination of the two, that is, putting a tea tray with holes on a tea boat. This kind of tea tray is produced because of the complicated brewing process of oolong tea. From the beginning, the cup is hot, and then every time you brew, you need hot water to pour the pot. The double-deck tea boat can let the water flow to the lower level without polluting the desktop. Tea trays have different textures, such as purple sand and bamboo ware.

tea

An open teapot shaped like a handle. Because the brewing time of oolong tea is very particular, even a few seconds or even longer will greatly change the quality of tea soup. Therefore, even if the tea soup has just been out of the pot for more than ten seconds, the depth of the tea soup at the beginning and the end is very different. In order to avoid uneven shade, first pour all the tea soup into the sea of tea, and then divide the cups. At the same time, tea residue and tea powder can be precipitated. Nowadays, stainless steel filters are also commonly used, which are placed on the tea sea to let the tea soup flow into the tea sea from the filter and filter out the tea residue.

Tea lotus

Mostly hemispherical, made of porcelain or bamboo, with a mouth. They are used to hold dry tea, enjoy it and put it in the teapot. A good porcelain, tea, lotus flower itself is a handicraft.

Wenxiangbei

Used to smell incense, slender, unique to oolong tea. Taiwan Province Province is mostly used for brewing oolong tea with high aroma. Matching with drinking cups, the texture is the same, and adding a saucer is a set of scented cups.

teaspoon

Most of them are bamboo, and now there is boxwood, one end of which is bent, which is used to throw tea leaves into the pot and take tea dregs out of the pot.

In addition, there are auxiliary tea sets, such as teapots, tea clips, Chaze and tea ware. There are so many kinds that you don't have to use them when making tea.

Third, the soaking method of oolong tea

The raw materials of oolong tea are picked late, and the slightly branched buds are harvested and processed together with two or three tender leaves after the newly-grown buds of tea trees are branched, so the appearance of dry tea is thick, thick and compact, and the tea leaves are rich in various nutrients. After brewing, the aroma is high and lasting, the taste is strong and fresh, and the sweetness is fast and strong. There are four main points in its brewing.

One is that the choice of equipment is very particular.

If you want to appreciate the true fragrance and rhyme of oolong tea, you must have an elegant tea set. When entertaining guests, it is best to choose Yixing teapot or small bowl (Sancai Cup) as the brewing vessel. It is best to use a very delicate white porcelain cup (also called Ruochen cup) or a pair of cups consisting of a fragrant cup and a teacup. When choosing pots, you should choose according to the number of people, and the old Yixing pot is the best.

The second is that the temperature and water temperature of the heater should be high.

Only in this way can we give full play to the inherent beauty of oolong tea. Before boiling, pour boiling water on the pot, iron the cup and let the container warm up.

The third is to remove the brewed water.

But you can't? Too old? . Lu Yu of Cha Sheng in Tang Dynasty divided boiled water into three boiling points:? It boils like a fish eye, with a slight sound, that is, boiling; The edge is like a spring bead, which is two boiling points; Make waves and drum waves, let three people boil. ? The boiled water is still too tender and the brewed oolong tea is not strong enough, so the aroma of the brewed tea is incomplete. The boiling water is too old, the dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide gas in the water have evaporated, and the tea soup is not fresh enough. Only boiled water can bring the beauty of tea to the extreme.

The fourth is oolong tea. Swish, rush, drink? That is, brewing while drinking.

Soak for too long (commonly known as sitting in a cup), tea will cook, and soup will be tasteless and bitter. If the soup is served too fast, the color will be weak and the taste will be weak. When brewing oolong tea, we should master the time of making soup according to its variety, room temperature, guest's taste and the pot used. The first time you contact oolong tea, the first soaking time after warm soaking can be about 15 seconds, and the length of time after that can be determined according to the depth of its tea soup. When the best time of soup is determined, from the fourth bubble, each brewing is delayed by about 10 second compared with the previous bubble. Ok oolong tea? Seven soaks of incense, nine soaks without losing the true taste of tea? .

Drinking oolong tea can keep the content of vitamin C in blood at a high level and reduce the excretion of vitamin C, because vitamin C has antioxidant effect. Oolong tea can enhance the anti-aging ability of human body.
