Specific methods and steps of drinking tea in Tang Dynasty
Tea drinking in Tang Dynasty was divided into two steps: boiling tea and drinking tea.

1, tea cooking is divided into three stages, namely "three boiling".

When the water boils, it boils for the first time until bubbles as big as fish's eyes appear and there is a slight sound. This is based on the amount of water to add the right amount of salt to taste, the taste of water, do not add more salt because it is light.

When the water around the pot is like a bead, it boils for the second time. After scooping out a spoonful of boiling water, stir it into a whirlpool with bamboo clips in the water to make the water boil evenly. Measure the tea powder with a teaspoon, put it in the center of the vortex and stir it again.

After a while, the waves on the surface of the water churned up, and when a lot of foam was splashed, it was three boiling.

Pour the original water back, stop boiling water, and produce tea foam. At this point, the mica-like water film formed on the tea foam should be removed because it tastes bad. It is not advisable to continue cooking after "three boiling" because the water is old and can't be drunk any more. You can't add more water to make tea, or the taste will be weak.

2, making tea, that is, using a spoon to scoop soup and divide tea, the basic point is to make each bowl of foam even. The first bowl of tea soup scooped out of the pot is meaningful. It also means the best things. Solid out, put into the ripe Meng, in order to stop boiling and nourish China.

If a liter of water is boiled, it can be divided into five bowls, and the foam in each bowl should be uniform. You should drink fresh and fragrant tea. Besides meaningful tea, the first three bowls of a pot of tea are the best. Boil five more bowls of inferior ones. If there are a few guests, replenish those who don't drink enough with meaningful water.

The reason for drinking tea

1, Sacrifice said: This statement holds that tea and other plants were first used as sacrifices. Later, some people found that it was harmless to eat, so it was "eaten by sacrifices, but eaten by vegetables, but used as medicine" and eventually became a drink.

2. Pharmacology: This view holds that tea "originally entered human society as a medicine." "Shennong Hundred Herbs Classic" wrote: "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and when he encountered seventy-two poisons every day, he was relieved by tea."

3. Eating: "The ancients drank water like grass" and "the people put food first". Eating first conforms to the evolutionary law of human society.

4. Synchronicity: At first, tea may be used as chewing food, baking food, and gradually used as medicine.

The comparison and accumulation of these ways will eventually form the habit of drinking tea.
