When I wrote about the content of the tiger baby drinking tea in this chapter, I also thought it was quite interesting, because it was not the ancient way of drinking tea, that is, modern people use glass cups to make tea!

In fact, the method of brewing is the most common popular way to drink tea in modern times, and it has long entered the lives of ordinary people. It is simple and convenient, just brewing tea with hot water, but it has high requirements for the preparation and preservation process of tea. But in modern times, these are already very simple things.

According to research, the method of brewing and drinking appeared after decoction, soup and cake drinking, but it is closest to the natural and simple state, and it is also the most similar to the original decoction. It benefits from the maturity of tea-making processes such as steaming, stir-frying, fermentation and kneading, which can preserve the freshness or purity of tea, and its quality is better and the soup color and fragrance are pleasant.

The simple cup of tea that modern people drink is quite interesting to return to the basics, but it contains the accumulation of thousands of years of civilization.

I once heard a joke that when tea was first introduced to the West, Westerners in the Middle Ages boiled tea leaves in pots, added salt to the water, and then poured out the tea soup and ate the tea leaves. In fact, don't laugh, this is a way of drinking tea from the transition from the barbaric era to the civilized society, which is in the transition from decoction to soup, but the Xia Shang ancients will not pour out the tea soup.

This book is a fictional chronological background, although it generally alludes to the period of the Five Emperors of the Ancient Dynasty, but it cannot be completely copied and corresponded, and the story in the book is also a fictional interpretation. In the plot of the tiger baby tasting tea, the tea was set to be made by monks, and it was a drink that only monks could enjoy back then, and now, it is the tea that you usually taste.

Nowadays, the so-called three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world, compared with the other two (coffee and cocoa), tea is not so heavy and thick, but it is fragrant and elegant, which can awaken the mind and clear the heart, eliminate food and phlegm, brighten the eyes, dispel diseases and poisons, and can taste all kinds of tastes from ancient and modern times.

There is only one last day left in this month, dear book friends, please see the tea!
