Learning tea is deeper than you think
Learning tea is not that
difficult, you just make yourself a cup of tea and besides teas are all coming
from Camellia sinensis, right?
Indeed, tea is very simple healthy drink that everyone can learn easily
but how to deepen the learning will be another story. First of all, there are lots of varieties of tea trees under the family
of Camellia sinensis. Even the same type
of tea tree shares the same DNA but the flavor and taste could be different. Tea trees absorb the nutrition from the earth
and underground water and any micro variance can make a difference: 1. Growing from different
area
2. Tea plantations situating
on different latitude or in different continent
3. Growing in different
seasons
4. Using different
processing techniques.
So there are lots of things to learn about how to select tea. What about how to prepare a cup of tea?
Well, I think the following questions probably will give you an idea
about what you must learn to ask:1. Teas that you choose are
nature and authentic quality or aromatic teas?
2. Do you know what and how
to select water?
3. How to manage the water
temperature?
4. How much quantity of tea
to use?
5. How to match water with
tea?
6. How to match tea with tea
ware?
7. How to manage the
infusion time?
8. Last but at least, how
much are you aware about the essence of being flexible? Getting stress already? Relax, don’t worry.
Actually learning tea is not that difficult as you think as well. It all starts from brewing a cup of tea with
a respectful and peaceful mind. Let the
journey lead without being pushing too much. So, what in your cup today?
