A Brief IntroductionThe tea art is a traditional cultural form that embodies the essence of Chinese tea culture. It originated in the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 1000 years. The tea art is mainly divided into two categories: the art of tea preparation and the art of tea appreciation. The former focuses on the preparation process of tea, including the selection of tea leaves, the choice of tea utensils and tea craftsmanship, while the latter emphasizes the appreciation of tea taste, tea scenery and tea culture.The Art of Tea PreparationThe art of tea preparation begins with the selection of tea leaves. The high-quality tea leaves are selected from different regions, with different moisture content, color, shape and aroma. Then, the tea leaves are processed by a series of steps, including rolling, fermentation, kiln drying, shaping, roasting, and polishing. The processing technology has been continuously improved over time, making the tea leaves more and more exquisite.Next, the tea utensils are carefully chosen. The tea cups and tea pots should be made of non-toxic, wear-resistant and easy-to-clean materials. In addition, different shapes and sizes of tea cups should be chosen according to different types and amounts of tea leaves. The tea kettle should be made of heat-resistant material, with a water-holding capacity suitable for brewing tea. In addition, the water filter and water purifier are also necessary to ensure the quality of water.Finally, the tea craftsmanship is a very important part of the art of tea preparation. It requires a high level of skill and experience to brew good tea. The brewing time, water temperature and brewing method will all affect the taste and aroma of the tea. In addition, the tea craftsmanship also includes storing tea and handling the remains of tea leaves after brewing. These are very important skills that can affect the quality of tea.The Art of Tea AppreciationThe art of tea appreciation is a very important part of Chinese tea culture. It includes not only the taste and aroma of tea itself, but also the scenery and atmosphere created by drinking tea. The art of tea appreciation requires people to have a good knowledge of tea culture and a high aesthetic taste.Firstly, we need to know how to taste tea correctly. We should taste the tea slowly, observe its color, fragrance and taste in details. When tasting, we should rotate the cup slowly, feeling its weight and texture. In addition, we should pay attention to the temperature and time of drinking tea, so as to fully appreciate its taste and aroma.Secondly, we need to understand how to appreciate the scenery and atmosphere created by drinking tea. In the process of drinking tea, we can enjoy the harmonious relationship between people and objects. For example, we can appreciate the beauty of the tea cup and tea pot; we can also appreciate the elegance of drinking posture and way; we can also appreciate the pleasure brought by the process of making friends during drinking tea. All these make us feel that drinking tea is not only a way to quench thirst but also a way to appreciate life.
