The Three Fortresses originated in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the tea-drinking custom of the Han nationality in Sichuan was introduced to the northwest, and it was combined with the tea-drinking custom of the local minority Muslims to form tea products with unique local characteristics. The tea set is exquisitely made and consists of three parts: tea cover, tea bowl and tea tray, so it is called "three-bubble table" or covered bowl of tea. Sanbaotai takes fine chrysanthemum, Fujian longan, Xinjiang raisin, Gansu Linze jujube, dried litchi and high-quality rock sugar as raw materials. The fragrance is not clear, but it is bitter tea, which is not sweet. Only fresh, fresh and lively tea is the best.
brief introduction
A tea boat, also known as a tea boat, is a saucer that carries a tea bowl. According to legend, it was invented in Chengdu by the daughter of Cui Ning, our timekeeper, during the middle age of Tang Dezong Construction (780-783). Cui Ning's son cleverly invented a wooden board to support the teacup, because the original teacup had no substrate and often burned his fingers. In order to prevent the cup from falling off easily when drinking tea, she tried to circle the center of the wooden plate with wax to make the cup easy to fix. This is the earliest tea boat. Later, the tea boat was changed to a lacquer ring instead of a wax ring, which was convenient for everyone. In later generations, the ring bottom became more and more novel and varied in shape, like a ring bottom cup. A unique tea boat culture was born in Chengdu, also called Gaiwan tea culture. This unique way of drinking tea gradually developed from Bashu to the surrounding areas, and later spread throughout the south.
Hui people build bowls also called Sanbao. Because the cover bowl for holding water consists of a tray, a bell-shaped tea bowl and a tea cover, it is called a cover bowl or three batteries. Gaiwancha has different tea names due to different ingredients, such as brown sugar brick tea, white sugar tea and rock sugar Wo Wo tea. Brew with boiling water. Serve tea to the guests before eating. When pouring tea, uncover the lid of the bowl in front of the guests, put it into the tea material, then cover it with boiling water and hold it in both hands to show respect for the guests.
Drinking pattern
Hui people pay attention to making tea and think it is best to make tea with snow water and spring water. Drinking method: When drinking a bowl of tea from Sanpaotai, take the bowl in one hand and the lid in the other, scrape it from the inside out with the lid to thicken it, then cover it slightly obliquely and suck it with your mouth. This can scrape off the floating objects on the surface of tea soup; Second, the juice of tea can be blended with additives. You can't take off the lid to blow the tea floating on it, you can't swallow it one by one, you should drink it slowly. In this way, while sipping, add boiling water until the sugar is light. When you want to drink a cup, leave some water at the bottom of the bowl. Don't drink it dry.
