Hand painted Tea Container (手绘醒茶罐)

Good tea appreciation is essential. Everyone has their own experience about drinking tea, but for "Awakening tea up", maybe some people are not familiar with this important detail of tea tasting.

 

"Awakening tea up" is to make sleeping or dusty tea wake up through contact with air and water, naturally wash away the magazines on the surface of tea leaves, make the leaves breathe naturally, absorb the air of heaven and earth, and reinvigorate the essence of tea. The awakened tea leaves can rediscover their original flavor when brewing.

 

In the process of tea sealed storage for a long time, because the tea is in a low oxygen, dry, matt environment, the tea material is in a low active state, at this time, the tea soup taste will be very flat, but also produce some odor, such as warehouse flavor, odd smell, will affect the taste of tea. After a period of " Awakening tea up", the tea content will become active again, the consistency and alcohol of the tea soup will be significantly improved, and the taste will be stronger and smoother.

 

When drinking old tea, such as our old white tea, be sure to "Awakening tea up" the tea before brewing.

好茶鉴赏必备，对于喝茶每个人都有自己的体会，但对于“醒茶”，也会有些人不熟悉这个喝茶的细节。

 

“醒茶”是使沉睡或尘封的茶叶通过与空气、水分的接触苏醒过来，自然洗去茶表面的杂志，令叶片自然的呼吸，吸收天地之气，重新焕发出茶叶的本质。苏醒后的茶叶能够在冲泡时重新焕发茶香本味。

 

茶叶在长时间密封存放过程中，由于茶叶处在一个低氧、干燥、无光的环境中，茶叶内含物质处于低活跃状态，这时候冲泡出来的茶汤滋味会很平淡，也会产生一些异味，比如仓味、陈味等，会影响茶叶的口感。经过一段时间的“醒茶”以后，茶叶内含物质会重新变得活跃，冲泡出来的茶汤粘稠度、醇度都会明显提高，滋味感会更强更顺滑。

 

喝陈年老茶，如我们的老白茶，冲泡之前一定要“醒茶”。
