The Origin of Tea
China’s tea drinking culture has a long history and is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. Tea is not only a drink, but also a way of life and spiritual pursuit.
The origin of tea can be traced back to 2737 BC. According to legend, Shennong discovered tea trees in the wild and tasted their leaves and found that tea had the effect of detoxification and refreshing. Since then, tea has gradually become a part of people’s daily life.
Tea Ceremony and Tea Art
The tea ceremony is the core of tea drinking culture, emphasizing the pursuit of harmony and tranquility of body and mind in the process of tea tasting. The tea ceremony includes a series of steps such as selecting tea, brewing tea, and tasting tea, and each step has its own unique sense of ritual. The tea art is the skill and art of brewing tea, which pays attention to details such as water temperature, teaware, and brewing time, with the purpose of maximizing the color, aroma and taste of tea.
Tea Set
Chinese tea culture has a long history. Along with the inheritance of tea, there are many kinds of Chinese tea sets, including purple clay teapots, porcelain, pottery, glassware, etc. Different tea sets are suitable for different kinds of tea.
Adapt to the tea: From ancient times to the present, people who pay attention to the interest of tea tasting pay attention to the charm of tea tasting, advocate elegant artistic conception, and emphasize that “teapots add to the interest of tea tasting, and tea increases the value of teapot art”. They believe that good tea and good teapots are like red flowers and green leaves, which complement each other. For a tea lover, it is not only necessary to choose good tea, but also to choose good tea sets.
