Cultural Tea Infusion: New Landscapes in China’s Top Tea County
"It is said that half of the world’s mountains are green in Guizhou." In his poem "Presenting Tung, Prefect of Guizhou, Wang Zhongcheng," Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao extolled the verdant hills of Guizhou. This "green" owes much to tea.

The Important Active Substance in Dark Tea —— Tea Pigments!
Since the legendary “Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and encountered seventy-two poisons, which were cured by tea” 4,700 years ago, the magical effects of tea have been admired and puzzled over by generations. The Herbal Supplement marvels: “All medicines are specific for certain diseases, but tea is a medicine for all ailments.” Why does tea have such miraculous value? What mysterious substances does it contain? Modern high technology has finally deciphered this age-old mystery: scientists have discovered that the main components of tea are catechins and tea pigments. Among these, tea pigments are the jewel in the crown, the crystallization of tea culture, the dream of tea medicine, and the pinnacle of tea science. 1. What Are Tea Pigments? Tea pigments (Teapigments) refer to water-soluble pigment mixtures generated through the oxidation and polymerization of polyphenols, primarily catechins, during tea processing. They mainly include theaflavins (TFs), thearubigins (TRs), and theabrownins (TBs). The molecular structure of tea pigments still retains the basic characteristics of catechins, but they are more valuable, safer, and more stable than catechins. Theabrownins in tea pigments are the most stable and have the largest molecular weight. Tea pigments are weakly alkaline, and their weak alkalinity is one of… -

When brewing tea, using corresponding tea ware can make the taste much better than ordinary ones. Many people enjoy drinking Pu'er tea, so what kind of tea ware is best to brew this type of tea? Additionally, some people are not clear about how to use tea ware. Let's look at the details below. What Kind of Tea Ware Should Be Used for Pu'er Tea 1. Yixing (Purple Clay) Tea Ware Pu'er tea is a type of tea worth savoring. When brewing Pu'er tea, the selection of tea ware cannot be overlooked; otherwise, it would be a waste of such good Pu'er tea.

Which is Better, Pre-Qingming Tea or Pre-Grain Rain Tea?
Spring, the season of rejuvenation and renewal, is also a highly anticipated time for tea enthusiasts. Spring tea, known for its unique aroma and flavor, is considered the pinnacle among teas. Among spring teas, Pre-Qingming Tea and Pre-Grain Rain Tea stand out particularly. They not only represent two different picking times in Chinese tea culture but also carry rich cultural significance and appreciation value. Today, let's discuss the differences between these two types of tea and their unique charms. Pre-Qingming Tea: Pre-Qingming Tea, as the name suggests, refers to tea picked before the Qingming Festival. Because it is harvested earlier, the tea accumulates more nutrients, and thus Pre-Qingming Tea is renowned for its freshness, clear fragrance, and rich flavor. The picking standards are usually high, often consisting of one bud with one leaf or one bud with two leaves. The tea has a delicate appearance and a bright green color, making it a premium variety. Pre-Grain Rain Tea: Pre-Grain Rain Tea refers to tea picked before the Grain Rain Festival. Compared to Pre-Qingming Tea, Pre-Grain Rain Tea has a longer growth period, and the content of polyphenols in the tea is higher, resulting in a richer flavor and more lasting… -

Jian Ware and Tea Culture in the Song Dynasty
The term “zhan,” seldom mentioned these days, is much like the object it represents, no longer used in everyday life. According to the dictionary: a zhan is a small, shallow bowl. So what is Jian ware? Jian ware specifically refers to porcelain tea bowls produced in the kilns of Jianyang, Fujian Province. Generally speaking, these bowls have wide mouths and narrow feet, with thick, coarse bodies. The exterior lower part of the bowl and the foot are unglazed, exposing the body of the bowl. The clay and glaze for Jian ware come from its place of origin, Jianyang. Due to their high iron content and the thickness of the clay, the exposed body appears grayish-black, commonly referred to as an iron body. The glaze colors range from deep black, dark blue-black, to purple. At the high temperature of 1350 degrees Celsius reached in the kiln during firing, iron ions precipitate out and flow across the glaze surface, forming unique and beautiful patterns known as "hare's fur," making the Jian ware bowls more widely recognized by this name. The Chinese civilization is the only ancient culture that has been continuously passed down in an orderly manner and remains vibrant to this…- 0

Chinese tea culture is the culture of tea production and consumption in China. China is the birthplace of tea, and it is said that Chinese people began to discover and utilize tea during the time of the legendary Shennong, which is no less than 4,700 years ago.

Among the Clouds Over Bingzhongluo
In the morning, mist rises over Bingzhongluo. Houses are scattered across the fields, with wisps of smoke rising from them, and the turbulent river rushes on for miles.

Tea Lovers Must Know: Eight Taboos in Tea Art Performance!
1. Attire should be elegant, not vulgar. Women typically wear brightly colored silk cheongsams or blue printed cotton clothes from the Jiangnan region, which are generally considered graceful and elegant as long as they fit loosely and naturally without being too tight. It is inappropriate to wear revealing tops, sleeveless dresses, or semi-transparent garments. Men can wear suits with ties or traditional Chinese attire. Except for child performers of tea ceremony, it is not appropriate to wear shorts or miniskirts as they detract from the elegance of the performance. 2. Makeup should be light and natural, not heavy and garish. The tea ceremony is neither a stage play nor simply a process of brewing and drinking tea; it is a form of art and culture with a certain cultural connotation. Tea ceremony performers' makeup should adhere to the following principles: (1) Face and hands: The focus should be on showing clear, clean skin. Nails must be trimmed neatly, and nail polish should not be used. Eyebrows and lips can be lightly outlined, but it's best to avoid obvious makeup. Heavy lipstick, thickly drawn eyebrows, false eyelashes, heavily lined eyes, and thick rouge all run counter to the refined and elegant…- 0

Green Tea: How Did It Get Its Name? Unveiling the Story Behind Green Tea
Green tea, a name that sounds fresh and natural. It is not just a beverage but an integral part of China's long-standing tea culture. But have you ever wondered why this type of tea is called "green tea"? Today, let’s delve into the story behind green tea and discover its unique qualities. Definition of Green Tea Green tea, as the name suggests, is a type of tea where green is the dominant color. It is made from the young leaves or buds of tea plants through a series of processes including picking, fixation, rolling, and drying. The characteristic of green tea is that it retains the natural green color of the leaves, along with rich nutritional content and a distinctive aroma.

This unique processing technique ensures that the tea maintains a vibrant green hue even after drying, hence the name. Varieties and Characteristics of Green Tea… -

Exploring Dark Tea: The Secrets of Its Rich Nutrients and Unique Charm
In the colorful world of tea culture, dark tea shines like a brilliant pearl, emitting a unique and captivating glow. Despite its long history, public knowledge about dark tea is relatively limited, and many people still understand it within the framework of their existing knowledge about green and black teas. However, each type of tea has its own distinct characteristics that cannot be generalized. The rich nutritional content of dark tea is due to a series of complex and exquisite processes and principles. Firstly, considering the timing of raw material collection, tea leaves are harvested in two seasons. Those collected around the Qingming Festival are called fine tea, while those gathered during summer and autumn are known as coarse tea. Unlike fine tea, coarse tea contains more abundant trace elements, vitamins, and polysaccharides. This is similar to eating an unripe sour apple versus a ripe one, where the components undergo a significant transformation from quantitative to qualitative changes. Dark tea uses such mature tea leaves as raw materials, laying the foundation for its rich nutritional content. Furthermore, the unique production process of dark tea is key to its rich nutrients. Taking Fu tea as an example, during the prolonged fermentation… -
