5, sanitary ware
Add water to the pot, bring it to a boil, and then pour it into each tea set for ironing. This step is called washing utensils, that is, washing tea sets and moistening utensils.
Three, novice tea must pay attention to a few things.
(1) Making tea in a thermos cup: it is advisable to use ceramic pots and cups for making tea, but not thermos cups. Because the tea leaves are soaked in the thermos cup, the tea leaves keep high temperature for a long time, and some aromatic oils in the tea leaves escape, which reduces the fragrance; The extracted tannic acid and theophylline are too much and bitter, so some nutrients are also lost.
(2) Making tea with boiling water: Making tea with boiling water will destroy many nutrients. Such as vitamins c, p, etc. When the water temperature exceeds 80℃, it will be destroyed, and it is easy to dissolve out too much tannic acid and other substances, making tea bitter. Therefore, the water temperature of tea is generally controlled at 70℃-80℃. Green tea, in particular, will lose its original fragrance and cool taste if the temperature is too high and the tea leaves become black tea after soaking.
(3) It takes too long to make tea: it is best to soak for 4-6 minutes before drinking tea. So 80% of caffeine and 60% of other soluble substances are soaked out. If it takes too long, the tea will be bitter. Tea cooked in thermos bottles or stoves for a long time is prone to chemical changes and should not be drunk again.
(4) Pour out the brewed tea: Most people pour out the used tea after making tea. In fact, this is not economical. Tea should be chewed slowly, because tea contains more nutrients such as carotene and crude fiber.
(5) Habit of making strong tea: To make a cup of tea with moderate concentration, you generally need about 10g of tea. Some people like to make strong tea. Chata strong, too much caffeine and tannic acid leaching, too much stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract. After making a cup of tea, you can add water and make 3-4 cups.
Fourth, how to choose good tea?
1, tenderness: tenderness is the basic factor that determines quality. The so-called "dry appearance, wet ass" means tenderness. Generally, tea with good tenderness is easy to meet the appearance requirements of this kind of tea (such as "light, flat, flat and straight" in Longjing). In addition, it can also be identified from the presence or absence of tea seedlings. Good pre-seedlings and white hair shows show that they are tender and well-made.
2. Cord: Cord is a certain shape and specification of various tea sets, such as fried green ribbon, round pearl tea, flat longjing tea, granular red broken tea and so on. Generally, long strip tea is elastic, straight, strong, thin, round, flat, light and heavy; Round tea depends on the elasticity, uniformity, weight and ethereal degree of particles; Flat tea to see if it is smooth and meets the specifications.
3. Color: The color of tea is closely related to the tenderness of raw materials and processing technology. All kinds of tea have certain color requirements, such as black tea, green tea, oolong tea and black tea. However, no matter what kind of tea, good tea requires consistent color, bright luster, oily and fresh. If the colors are different, the shades are different and dull, it means that the raw materials are old and tender, the workmanship is poor and the quality is poor.
4. Whole crushing: Whole crushing refers to the shape and crushing degree of tea, with flattening as the best and crushing as the second. The standard tea tasting is to put the tea in a plate (usually made of wood), so that the tea can be layered in turn according to its shape, size, weight, thickness and crushing degree under the action of rotating force. Among them, the thick ones are at the top, the tight ones are concentrated in the middle, and the broken ones are deposited at the bottom. All kinds of tea, medium-grade tea is the best. The upper layer is generally thick and old leaves, with light taste and light water color; There are many broken teas at the lower level, and the taste is often too strong after brewing, and the soup is darker.
5. Cleanliness: mainly depends on whether the tea leaves are mixed with camellia seeds. , tea stems, tea powder and tea seeds, and the amount of inclusions such as bamboo chips, sawdust, lime and sand mixed in the production process. Tea with good purity does not contain any inclusions. In addition, it can also be identified by the dry aroma of tea. No matter what kind of tea, there must be no peculiar smell. Every kind of tea has a specific aroma, and the dry aroma and wet aroma are also different, depending on the specific situation. Green gas, burnt smoke and cooked stuffy smell are not desirable. It is the taste, aroma and color of the brewed tea soup that is the easiest to judge the quality of tea. So if you can, try making tea.
Five, fresh tea preservation methods
(1) stored in a drying oven: Because the temperature of the drying oven is stable and isolated from the air, the tea stored in the drying oven will not be affected by moisture or oxidized.
(2) Refrigerator storage: To keep the fresh fragrance of tea, it is best to keep it at low temperature, especially the delicate tea such as Longjing, Biluochun and Huangshan Mao Feng. It must be noted that the refrigerator for storing tea leaves must be sanitary, clean and tasteless, and nothing other than tea leaves can be stored.
(3) Storage in a thermos bottle: clean the thermos bottle, then pour the tea to be stored into the thermos bottle, and plug it for storage.
(4) jar storage: first, put a small amount of tea in a small jar for easy access at any time, and store the rest in a sealed jar. It is best not to use glass jars, porcelain jars, wooden boxes or medicine jars, because these containers have the disadvantages of light transmission, moisture resistance and fragility. The canned materials suitable for preservation are: tin cans or tin cans, which are most suitable for opaque materials. Before packaging, the cans should be padded with a layer of tissue paper or kraft paper. The cans must be kept clean, dry and tasteless. Tin can: It is best to use a double cover. Before packaging, the cans should be padded with a layer of tissue paper or kraft paper, and the gap of the lid can be sealed with adhesive tape. Sealed cans: Sealed cans sold in the market are generally light-transmitting. When in use, it is best to pack the tea leaves in aluminum foil bags and then put them in sealed cans. In addition, desiccant can be added to strengthen the moisture-proof function.
