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… -
Worried about not being able to sleep after drinking tea? Here are some tips!
On a cold winter night, brewing a pot of fine tea and savoring it slowly is such a wonderful enjoyment, warming both the stomach and the heart! The ancient verse, "When guests visit on a chilly night, tea serves as wine, the bamboo stove's water boils as the fire turns red," paints a beautiful picture of evening tea for many tea lovers. However, many tea enthusiasts refrain from drinking tea in the evening out of fear that it may cause insomnia. In fact, there are methods to enjoy tea at night without suffering from sleeplessness. If these methods don't work initially, you can try them a few more times. 1 First, people often say that they cannot sleep after drinking tea because it contains caffeine. Caffeine is a double-edged sword; it can keep you alert and energetic but can also prevent you from sleeping when it's time to rest. However, it's not accurate to generalize about insomnia caused by tea. For example, some tea enthusiasts mention that they experience insomnia with some teas but not others. Is this due to different caffeine contents in different types of tea? Can we compare the caffeine levels across the six major tea categories?… -
The Ancient Traditional Customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, the second-largest folk festival in the Chinese festival system next to the Spring Festival, has spawned countless legends and poems over the centuries. “明月几时有,把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年?” "How long will the full moon appear? Wine cup in hand, I ask the sky. I do not know what time of the year 'Twould be tonight in the palace on high." In fact, the Mid-Autumn Festival is essentially the "Chinese Ritual Moon Festival", and the worship of the moon by the Chinese people has started since ancient times. "The lonely moon goddess, spreads her ample sleeves, To dance for these loyal souls in infinite space." "Chang'e is dancing in the long sky for ten thousand miles." From Chang'e Flying to the Moon to the lunar exploration program, for more than 2,000 years, people have never paid less attention to the moon. Mid-Autumn Festival was popularized during the Han Dynasty, a period of economic and cultural exchange and integration, when cultural exchanges across the country led to the fusion and spread of festival customs. The term "Zhong Qiu (mid-autumn, 中秋)" was first written down in Han Dynasty literature, and the Zhou Li between the two Han dynasties recorded that during the pre-Qin period,… -
