The reason your tea doesn’t taste good might be here
Many tea enthusiasts have this problem: why, using the same tea leaves, the same teaware, and the same water, does your tea not taste as good as someone else's? Assuming there are no issues with the quality of the tea leaves, to make a good cup of tea, the main factors lie in the teaware, the amount of tea used, and the steeping time. Teaware: The appearance of a gaiwan or teapot is secondary; what matters is its capacity, which has a direct relationship with the tea-to-water ratio and steeping time that follow. For example, rock tea is typically packaged in 8g portions. If you use a 100cc gaiwan versus a 130cc one, the amount of water added will differ. With the same steeping time, the resulting flavors will also be different, with the former being relatively stronger. Amount of Tea Used: Maintain a 1:50 tea-to-water ratio; the general amounts are: green tea 3 grams, black tea 4 grams, wulong tea 7-8 grams, dark tea and Pu'er tea 8-10 grams. If you're unsure about the amount of tea to use, try brewing with an appropriate amount first, then adjust based on the actual results. Steeping Time: This is adjusted according… -

Why Can’t You Brew Tea Like Others?
Many tea enthusiasts have this dilemma: why does my tea not taste as good as others', even when using the same tea leaves, the same teaware, and the same water? Note Three Aspects Assuming there are no issues with the quality of the tea, brewing a great cup primarily depends on three factors: teaware, amount of tea used, and steeping time. These elements are interrelated. Teaware: The appearance of a gaiwan or teapot is secondary; what matters is its capacity, which directly affects the amount of tea used, the volume of water added, and steeping time. For example, a packet of rock tea contains 8 grams, and when brewed in a 100cc and a 130cc gaiwan, the volumes of water added will differ. With the same steeping time, the resulting flavors will vary, with the former being more concentrated. Amount of Tea Used: If you're brewing pre-packaged teas, it's convenient as rock tea is typically 8 grams per pack and black tea is 5 grams. For loose-leaf tea, if you're unsure how much to use, start by experimenting with an appropriate amount. If it's too weak or too strong, you'll know how to adjust for the next brewing session. Steeping… -

Enjoying Spring Tea: Here’s What You Need to Know
Before we know it, the season for spring tea has arrived again. Early teas in places like Yibin are already freshly available on the market, ready for people to enjoy. People often say, "Tea should be fresh, wine should be aged." Is this really true? Is spring tea safe? Is new tea better than aged tea? How should tea leaves be stored properly? What kind of water is best for brewing new tea? These questions often perplex us. Today, let's explore these questions together and clarify them one by one. Spring Teas Have Fewer Pests and Diseases With severe smog and air pollution nowadays, some people doubt that drinking tea can still be considered safe and reliable. Pesticide residues, heavy metals, and harmful microorganisms are the primary safety concerns in tea. It is understood that at present, pyrethroid pesticides are mainly used for pest control in tea gardens in China. These pesticides are difficult to dissolve in water, so very little of them dissolve into the tea infusion, less than 10% of what is detected in dry tea. Furthermore, in many tea-growing regions in China, especially those known for high-quality green teas, pests and diseases occur less frequently during the… -

Discussion on Sub-Health from the Perspective of “All Diseases Arise from Internal Injuries to the Spleen and Stomach”
With the development of the social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, people's understanding of health has gradually deepened. More and more people are paying attention to sub-health and actively preventing and treating it. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon states, "Man relies on water and grains as his foundation," indicating that humans depend on water and grains for survival. When water and grains enter the stomach, they undergo rotting and digestion in the stomach, and then the spleen transforms and transports them to distribute their essence throughout the body, nourishing all the zang-fu organs. This idea of "man relying on stomach qi as his foundation" is significant for the prevention of diseases. The renowned physician Li Dongyuan of the Jin-Yuan era proposed the academic thought that "all diseases arise from internal injuries to the spleen and stomach," highlighting the extremely important position of the spleen and stomach in the human body, with their health directly affecting the health of the body. Physiological Functions of the Spleen and Stomach In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the "spleen and stomach" refers to a functional concept that goes far beyond the anatomical scope of the spleen and stomach, encompassing the functions of… -

For a healthy fall: Sleep more, drink more water and stay warm
TCM recommends getting one more hour of sleep, drinking more water and eating moistening foods to maintain health and keep your body's energy in sync with cosmic energy.Chu Shu on the Chinese lunar calendar usually falls around August 23. Temperatures usually remain high for around 18 days before it starts to cool off south of the Yangtze River, according to Qing Jia Lu by Gu Tieqing in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). The book describes the culture and customs in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and nearby areas.At this time of year, the yang energy in the universe begins to descend from its peak while yin energy starts to grow. Accordingly, the yang energy in the human body also starts to decline. Thus, at least another hour of sleep is recommended.Though ancient Chinese wisdom calls for taking a nap whenever you feel sleepy after Chu Shu, in these times it's not possible to just nod off when you feel like it. A nap of up to an hour at midday is recommended, if you can manage.Getting good quality sleep at zi (11pm-1am) and wu (11am-1pm) is important for health.The yin and yang energy in the human body will shift along with energy changes in the… -
How to Store Loose Leaf Tea
If you are an avid tea drinker, there is a possibility that you are also an avid tea buyer. You may have an extensive collection of different types of teas, which may or may not be in a proper container. But what exactly is the proper way to store loose leaf tea? Are some containers better than others? First, you should know the things to consider when storing loose leaf tea. Things to Consider When Storing Loose Leaf Tea There are five things you should consider when storing your favorite loose leaf tea if you want to keep your tea fresh. Moisture The words “tea” and “moisture” cannot be good friends because tea’s flavor becomes weaker when exposed to moisture. Or worse, your tea can get moldy! As a rule of thumb, you would only want moisture to meet your tea when you are brewing it before drinking (a.k.a. when tea meets water). Other than that, you have to store your loose leaf tea away from moisture! But it is not as simple as keeping it away from water or dampness. Because tea is hygroscopic, which means that it absorbs moisture from the air, you should also block the moisture…- 10

Emphasize Mental Adjustment in Spring
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says, "During the three months of spring, old things are replaced with new. Heaven and Earth come to life, and all things flourish." Su Shi also vividly portrays the vitality and dynamism of spring with "Beyond the bamboo, a few peach blossoms bloom; the ducks in the spring river are the first to know that the water has warmed." According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is when liver energy is most active. The liver governs free flow and prefers a state of smoothness while resisting depression. Therefore, special attention should be given to mental adjustment in spring to maintain a positive outlook and an open mind. This helps ensure the free flow of liver energy and harmonizes the blood and qi, achieving the purpose of preventing illness and maintaining health. One: Restraint The Book of Lü says, "Desire has emotion, and emotion has limits. Sages cultivate limits to restrain desire, so they do not overindulge their emotions." Emphasizing spiritual cultivation starts with restraining one's desires and emotions to maintain psychological harmony and balance. In daily work and life, if faced with something anger-inducing, consider the potential negative consequences. This can help you… -
Is Drinking 8 Glasses of Water a Day Really Healthy?
Water is the most fundamental and important component of the human body, the source of life. In a healthy adult, 50% to 70% of body weight is water, and all life and metabolic activities depend on water. Therefore, we often hear people say drink more water when you have a cold, drink more water when you have a cough, drink more water for constipation, or just drink more water in general...
