Articles about tea and tea ware

We immediately apologize for the scandalous title of the article - but this is how the question asked by many users to all-knowing Google is posed. So - Puer pret, sausage, pins, well, everything else - is this true?

Suppliers of tea modestly lower their eyes when they are asked - which Puer is the most pruschee? This is an uncomfortable question, and an uncomfortable one precisely because it cannot be answered clearly.

A variety of puers simply amazing. This is a set of tastes, delicious flavors and tea conditions.

Tie Guan Yin is a tea legend, the king among Chinese oolongs. This tea can be called a visiting card of China.

Initially, this wonderful tea was grown only in Fujian province, Anxi county. They started to grow tea in the VII-IX centuries, during the rule of the Tang dynasty. Today, Te Guang Yin, grown in many provinces of China and Taiwan, enters the tea market. But the quality standard is still considered to be Tie Guan Yin, gathered on fertile South Fudjanian plantations.

Why did this tea deserve such popularity among tea gourmets of the whole world?

We all heard and read a lot about the benefits of tea. Still, among such a variety of tea, represented on the tea market today, I want to choose the most useful one. By what criteria to choose?

Which tea is more useful - black or green? Healthier is that fresh? Or vice versa, aged for years? And maybe the more expensive, the more useful?

Let's try to figure it out.

Firstly, it is necessary to immediately determine what we want to get from tea.

Tea is, first of all, a pleasant-to-taste and fragrant drink that can improve mood and emotional state. The beneficial properties of tea are rather secondary. Yes, tea can serve as a prevention for many diseases, strengthen the immune system, with regular use, improve overall health. But do not treat it as a cure.

Milk Oolong is one of the most popular Chinese teas. Moreover, when they say the word “oolong”, many of them are the Milk Oolong, and they do not even mean that oolongs are a whole large group that includes tea of ​​various tastes and aromas.

But it so happened that it was from Milk Oolong that they often begin to get acquainted with Chinese teas. After that, starting to delve into and explore the immense world of Chinese tea, we begin to distinguish the subtle flavors of white, the piercing freshness of green, the mysterious walnut woody notes in puerh, the fruity floral bouquets in the flavors of oolongs and other varieties of flavors and tastes.

In our time of stress and constant tension, we all try to relax somehow. Everyone has his own ways - we take anti-depressants, smoke, drink alcohol - anything can happen. And, often, our “relaxation” methods cause irreparable harm to our health.

Let's see, why is alcohol so attractive?

It causes a state of euphoria in a person, improves mood, eliminates stress, reduces the subjective assessment of obsessive thoughts, negative experiences, fears.

Talk about puerh can be infinite. The point is not only that this is the most "tea", the most Chinese and the most ancient tea. The point is the very essence of this tea.

Why so many mysteries and legends around this tea? It is the same as the other tea, collected from tea bushes or trees ... by the way, do you know why there is the expression "tea bush" and there is - "tea tree"?

Because the tea plant, like others, is growing. And sometimes this “bush” grows up to 20 meters high. A scrub to call a plant the size of a 7-storey house is already complicated.

Oolong tea  or zing cha (turquoise tea) got its name not because of the turquoise color of the finished infusion.

The hieroglyph zing cha is translated as turquoise or blue-green. In addition, the same hieroglyph denotes the state of flowering, the peak of vital forces.

And it is not in vain - because the oolongs embody all the jewels of the tea world - the bright fresh aroma of green tea and the dense rich flavor of black (red) tea.

Red tea in China is called tea, which we Europeans consider black.

Sometimes we call red tea made from sudan rose petals (karkade). Karkade drink is not quite correct to call tea, because it has nothing to do with the tea bush (Camellia sinensis).

So - red or black? Looking at the color of the dry tea leaf, completely fermented, we determine that it is dark brown or almost black.

Ginseng, ginseng root... Men in ancient times were looking for different recipes for stimulants of sexual desire and sexual activity.

There are many natural aphrodisiacs that can support the sexual health of men. A special place among them is occupied by ginseng root.

Tea with ginseng is considered a real natural treasure that can restore the sexual functions of men.

Jasmine tea is a classic combination of Chinese green tea with the fragrant aroma of jasmine flowers.

Elite jasmine tea does not aromatize with essential oils.

A charming aroma is produced by the joint storage of freshly picked green tea and jasmine flowers for a hundred days. Every week the flowers are changed to fresh. At the end of the process of joint storage, flowers are manually picked, leaving only tea leaves filled with wonderful jasmine aroma.

Bi Luo Chun is translated as "Emerald spirals of spring". Sometimes the name is translated as "Emerald Snail" or "Green Snail".

Indeed, the twisted tea leaves and buds are shaped like small snails.

Tea is grown and produced in Jiangsu Province (China), on the slopes of the Dongting Mountains, a truly unique and amazing place. To date, the area of production of Bi Lo Chun has expanded far beyond these two slopes, but the best tea is collected from these plantations.

Green tea... there are literally legends about its benefits. Not surprisingly, the upper leaves and unopened buds, collected manually in early spring, contain all the strength and energy of the plant that awoke after a winter sleep.

Tea bush, giving the first young shoots under the gentle sunshine, gives all the vitality that slept in it in the winter.

It is the youngest, upper, tender leaves and buds that serve as raw materials for the production of high-quality green tea.

White tea. Many of you wondered why tea is called white?

Because the color of the infusion is colorless? Not really.

White tea can give the color of the infusion from almost colorless, like water, to saturated amber.

“Bai Hao!” Shouted traders in the markets of ancient China, inviting buyers. This meant that the proposed product is of the highest quality and is assembled from unblown tea buds covered with a white, silver cannon.
