For some novice tea lovers, they need to wash the tea leaves before making tea, which casts an unnecessary layer of fog on the process of making tea.
Everyone says that they want to wash tea, but they don't know why they want to wash tea, what is the function of tea washing, and can tea washing really wash off the dirt on the tea leaves?
When drinking tea, some people say that they want to wash the tea, and some people say that they don't need to wash it, and this kind of argument will inevitably make novice tea lovers feel very confused, whether to wash the tea or not?
Why do novice tea lovers think that tea washing is a troublesome thing?
Why do you wash tea.
1. The purpose of tea washing.
Generally speaking, it is mainly used for relatively compact pressed tea, because this involves a rope problem, we generally hear that the individual pressed tea is called coarse tea, in fact, this is a wrong statement.
There are many kinds of pressed tea, not only Pu'er tea, but also oolong northern Fujian black tea, southern Fujian oolong, etc., all belong to this category, and most of them should be washed, because it is not only about the taste and attributes of tea.
Take Tieguanyin as an example, Tieguanyin needs to be brewed twice to drink its best taste, and the second brew is generally called "washing tea", but many people don't understand this meaning, thinking that they want to use this water to wash tea.
In fact, this is because Tieguanyin, a semi-fermented oolong, is no worse than green tea in terms of firmness, so it needs to be boiled from boiling water for two or three minutes when brewing, so that it can exude its unique aroma.
So in fact, there is no washing on the bubbler, mainly because a novice does not understand this, so there is this misunderstanding, in fact, we don't need to wash when brewing ordinary red and green tea.
And even if it's a tight one like Tieguanyin, it's to make it have a better aroma, so it's not to get dirty, so in fact, when drinking tea, whether you want to wash it or not depends entirely on your own preferences, as long as you drink it comfortably.
2. Those are not suitable for washing.
So are there any of those that are not suitable for tea washing? Of course, what we see now is generally a standardized production of modern green tea, such as Biluochun, Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, etc., which have passed the stage of completion when they are made.
The new tea picked before Qingming basically does not ferment, so it is very suitable for drinking after being set directly, but not very suitable for washing.
In fact, before the Qingming Festival, there are still relatively few fresh buds at this time, because the sun is mild and the temperature is hot, these buds slowly open, and the tips of the buds grow taller, forming mature green leaves, and some young shoots.
At this time, most of the new tea picked at this time is mature green leaves, except for a little bud, so it is already done when it is made, so there is no need to waste time there.
And why distinguish by tenderness? Because the tender bubble is more fragrant, awesome! So before that there were only a small amount.
There are also some such as yellow tea and black tea, which generally do not need to be washed, because yellow tea and black tea are generally loose, even if they are formed leaves, they are more absorbent, and they can exude their aroma in a short time.
Therefore, when brewing, it can make it fragrant when brewing with boiling water, and the zodiac says that the buds that have been frozen and stewed with high-temperature water at high temperatures, when the boiling water flows out, the whole person is hot for a while.
Under normal circumstances, the high temperature and the water flow are together, and different grades and different kinds of fresh dried goods. Therefore, after everything is communicated, 20 minutes before the whole mountain master comes out of the pot, and then rinse it with boiling water, and the exquisite fresh dried fruits will become plump and elegant next to the yellow chrysanthemum casserole.
This is simply a "demon mirror"!
What to do after drinking?
1. Should I pour it out after drinking?
Should it be poured out?
Of course not!
I have always believed that the object should be discarded after drinking, and even if it is only a second brew with plain water, etc., the concentration will still increase, so I firmly oppose this behavior.
It should be poured out and left for a period of time before the second bubble is discarded, otherwise it may become hot again and deteriorate due to prolonged interaction with air.
At this time, it will also cause our drinking to be affected, so you can pour it out first, and then let it sit for a while, and then brew a second brew after it has cooled naturally, and if you don't want to use paper towels, you can filter it with a clean cloth.
In order to prevent the substance from flowing out first due to a large bite, but in general, it is a relatively common way to load it in a container for secondary use, and there are many people who oppose the use of this method in tea tasting, because it may cause many experienced people to ruin the source tea experience.
2. Which is better to drink?
Autumn is coming, everyone must really want to taste the red orange pu, and summer is a good time to drink oolong, so what is better for modern people?
As we all know, drinking some milder Hongkang in the summer is also a very good choice.
First of all, I recommend that you try a "Xianwu Fengming" black tea launched by Xuxi Ecological Agriculture Company, which has the characteristics of mellow color and aroma and unique fruit flavor.
Secondly, there is the "White Rooster Comb" oolong, which is different from the general oolong with an astringent or bitter taste, this "White Rooster Comb" will not appear like this, it will bring us a mellow and smooth experience, and will not make people feel thirsty.
Of course, novices want to drink the most authentic taste, and they can also be paired with some sweets, such as some brown sugar in autumn, which will not only not get tired, but also keep a little sweetness in the mouth.
Is it necessary to wash tea after drinking?
Through the above understanding, we know that we should first clarify what kind of tea we drink, if it is pressed by tight-fitting, then it needs to be washed.
But if it is made of natural loose parts, generally speaking, it does not need to be washed, because this is its fresh state, but this is not absolute, and it depends on personal preference.
Because some people will choose to brew when they drink red and green, which is also a habit of theirs, if you think it is more reliable, there is no problem, after all, this is our own hobby and choice!
epilogue
Therefore, whether to wash or not, we still have to base on one of our own feelings and experiences, if you like and convenient, you can also bring some toilet paper in the bag, if you think it is more reliable, there is no problem, after all, this is our own hobby and choice!
