Tea is light and fragrant, not as spicy as beer, nor as sweet as juice. Just a small cup can exude a pleasant and fresh tea aroma. Below I have collected essays about tea for everyone to read. Chapter 1: Tea
Tea is the quintessence of China. It started in the Qin and Han Dynasties and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Chaoshan Tea Ceremony, also known as Chaoshan Kung Fu Tea, is the essence of our country’s traditional culture and one of the most representative tea ceremonies in our country’s ancient tea culture.
Chaoshan Kung Fu Tea is famous all over the world. You may have heard of or even tasted its tea charm, but have you ever tasted the deep nostalgia it contains?
People in coastal areas love tea, and Chaoshan is probably the best among them. It seems that God has given every Chaoshan person the talent and interest in tea tasting. Almost every Chaoshan person, no matter where they are, is keen on drinking tea and has developed the habit of tea tasting since childhood. For Chaoshan people, not drinking tea for a day is like not eating for a day, making them feel uncomfortable and depressed.
As a person from the Chaoshan area, I have followed my grandfather since I was babbling. I walked to a small stone pavilion a few miles away, listened to the guzheng, sipped fragrant tea, and was taught step by step by my grandfather. Learning from "Guan Gong patrolling the city" and "Han Xin ordering troops" has an elegant ancient charm. Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by. In the blink of an eye, I grow from a child to a teenager in the strong fragrance of tea. Now, when I think about the awkward tea-making techniques back then, I deeply feel the beauty of my childhood.
It can be said that every generation of Chaoshan people grew up with the charm of tea...
Is Chaoshan Kung Fu Tea really just a tea ceremony and an art? Perhaps, the answer is yes for you, but for thousands of Chaoshan people, it is definitely no!
For Chaoshan people who have grown up with the aroma of tea, Chaoshan Kung Fu Tea has long been buried in the deepest part of their souls. It represents the homeland, the hometown, and the place where our ancestors have lived for generations. No matter how the years change, no matter how time passes, no matter where you are, no matter how rich or poor you are, no matter the vicissitudes of life and the dogs in white clothes, it will never change the innocence of Chaoshan people, nor the sincere and strong love of Chaoshan people for their homeland.
In this world, wherever there is tea charm, there are hipsters, where there are hipsters there is nostalgia, and where there is nostalgia, it is hometown!
This is the tea charm of fashionable people.
This is the nostalgia of fashionable people.
This is the eternal and unchangeable innocent sentiment of fashionable people... Chapter 2: Tea
A few days ago I went to my aunt’s house to visit my cousin’s lovely little son. My cousin said there was a bottle of Paris Champs flower fruit tea was given to me as a gift brought back by one of her relatives from a trip to Hong Kong. Have you ever seen flower tea and drank it? Flower and fruit tea? This is the first time I've seen it, haha, maybe it's just my ignorance.
There are many kinds of dried fruit pulp in the flower and fruit tea, as well as rose petals. Make a cup and try it. The tea is bright red in color and tastes sour and sweet, which is quite good. So I searched online for flower and fruit tea products, and there were quite a few on the web. I immediately ordered one of them, a 500-gram flower and fruit tea.
Tea ranks last among the seven things people do every day. No wonder it is a luxury item in ordinary people's homes. When I was a child, I heard from the able people in the village who came back from business trips inland that the most polite way for city people to entertain guests is to make you a cup of tea. And this tea is also divided into three, six or nine grades, and people of different status drink different teas. Darling, there is so much knowledge about drinking tea.
In the island fishing villages, people do not know the knowledge of this tea, and it is rare to see anyone with tea. When we were thirsty, we scooped up well water from the water tank and drank happily. If any child in the family is sick and needs medicine and runs out of water, the older child is sent to a neighbor’s house who has a thermos bottle to beg for some boiled water. Only when the children are very angry, grandma will take out some honeysuckle vines that grandpa picked from the cliff and make a big pot of herbal tea, and let everyone drink a bowl to relieve the heat. Tasting tea is unknown to the backward fishermen.
When I grew up, I drank tea made from different kinds of tea leaves. Green tea, Tieguanyin, Pu'er tea, various flower teas, and even today's flower and fruit tea, I even drank tea with the masters in the temple while discussing Buddhism and life. I also occasionally drank tea with my classmates in the teahouse and chatted about their respective current affairs. As my country's long-standing tea culture, tea is no longer a high-end product that is unknown to people.
In an exam last year, the teacher asked a true or false question: The three major beverages in the world are tea, coffee, and cocoa. There is obviously a trap in this question given by the teacher, and many candidates chose the correct answer. Yes, the world's three major drinks, but there is an extra word "leaf". I chose no, but I felt uneasy. I went home and checked the information online, and I was sure that I was right, and I felt secretly happy.
Also last year, in a Chinese studies class at Zhongputuo Miaofa Hall, Professor Pan, an eighty-year-old professor from Baoshan, Yunnan, used his humorous language and clear thinking to teach everyone about tea. Cultural class. The teacher said that tea is the product of people absorbing the essence of the sun and moon among the plants and trees. The old man made great contributions to the marriage of natural science and biological science, and was the first person to lay the foundation for my country to become the source of tea.
Tea culture has a long history in our country, and this is a topic that many people discuss. Today I have the courage to write such immature words after receiving the express delivery of flower and fruit tea to show my respect for tea. Picking tea, drinking tea, tasting tea, grinding tea, I just want to be a country woman as elegant as tea. Chapter 3: Tea
Life is like a cup of tea. It will not be bitter for a lifetime, but it will be bitter for a while.
——Inscription
I don’t know when I fell in love with tea. I like the light bitterness that flows from the tip of my tongue and flows into my heart. It feels refreshing and a little sweet.
I like, in the evening, sitting alone on a wicker chair, quietly looking at the sky, looking for the old times. Go drink tea in this mood. The heart will gradually calm down, and all the prosperity and loneliness, all the fleeting scenery, will be peacefully silent at this time.
I like green tea, the bitterness with a little sweetness. When you are alone, make a cup of green tea, watch the green tea leaves dancing in the water, play a piece of soothing music in a quiet corner with a leisurely mood, and your soul will blend into the beautiful scenery with each intoxicating note. In the melody, the faint fragrance of tea comes, faintly and gently, thinking about the fragrance of tea filling my world.
With a cup of green tea, your inner mood is dancing in the rhythm and melody of music. It clears the soul and cleanses the mind. I like this kind of peace and quiet, and the air is filled with an intoxicating smell. Sometimes, a ray of sunshine, a cup of green tea, and a piece of music are the most beautiful moments in life.
In fact, life is like the fragrance of tea. It is not so rich and fragrant, but it exudes a faint fragrance, which is refreshing. A road with twists and turns can lead you further; a friendship that is neither far nor near can only last a lifetime. Time, the shades are harmonious; people's hearts, far and near, are at peace. The beauty of life lies in peace.
In fact, many people don’t understand. They like a turbulent life, thrilling adventures, and performing themselves in a chaotic world. Even if their energy is exhausted, they still enjoy it.
