The aged Tielguanyin tea from Anxi (National Standard: Aged Fragrant Tielguanyin from Anxi) has a rich, smooth, and sweet taste. It offers various health benefits such as anti-aging, prevention of arteriosclerosis, diabetes management, weight loss, protection against tooth decay, antibacterial and antidiarrheal properties, heat-clearing and fire-reducing effects, invigoration, sobriety promotion, and hangover relief. What is Aged Tea? Aged fragrant Tielguanyin is made from "Tielguanyin raw tea." Before the national standard for aged fragrant Tielguanyin was established, it was mainly produced and stored in small batches, typically through the natural aging and maturation of strong fragrant Tielguanyin. Now, aged fragrant Tielguanyin has entered a new stage of mass production. It is made from "Tielguanyin raw tea" using unique processes such as baking and storing for over five years. Tielguanyin raw tea must undergo scientific storage to become aged fragrant Tielguanyin. This process includes a unique baking technique where the tea must be evenly and thoroughly baked to control its moisture content within 7%. This step is essential. During the storage of aged Tielguanyin, internal biochemical transformations occur, especially in the reduction of polyphenols and caffeine. These changes help reduce the tea's stimulating effect on the digestive system, making the flavor smoother…

With the arrival of Winter Solstice, the north is already blanketed in snow, while southerners are starting to exhale white mist. In the cold winter, people favor warmth, which has given rise to a new social media trend in 2022: "cozy tea brewing around a brazier." The most essential element for cozy tea brewing is a small brazier, best made of pottery, accompanied by some smokeless charcoal, bringing warmth in the winter. Place a wire mesh over the brazier, set a pot of tea in the middle, and surround it with tangerines, sweet potatoes, grains, and a plate of pastries, completing the new-Chinese style cozy tea brewing. Teahouses provide a venue for socializing and venting. /Visual China When brewing tea around a brazier in winter, the gentle bubbling sound of the hot tea on the stove and the steam mixed with the sweetness of roasted fruits easily evoke images of ancient literati's elegant life: "the freshly baked tea leaves warm the shallow cup, and the tea is ground in a small mill on a sunny window." A mouthful of hot tea warms the whole body, filling one with happiness. During leisure time, inviting family and friends to experience this rustic…

In autumn, dryness prevails and can easily deplete body fluids, leading to symptoms such as dry cough without phlegm or difficulty coughing up thick phlegm, dry eyes, mouth, and nose, tight and wrinkled skin, and irritability with difficulty sleeping. Dr. Tan Tao, Director of the Cervical and Lumbar Injuries Department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, recommends several health teas suitable for consumption during autumn. Chrysanthemum Tea Place four to five chrysanthemum flowers in boiling water and steep for two to three minutes. This tea has effects of dispersing wind-heat, suppressing liver yang, and clearing the liver and brightening the eyes.

This tea is suitable for those with dry eyes, high blood pressure, and those prone to getting heat-induced oral ulcers. There are many types of chrysanthemums, each with slightly different effects. However, no type of chrysanthemum should be consumed continuously over a long period. Those who usually feel cold, have a cold constitution in the spleen and stomach, or experience diarrhea easily, those with wind-cold common cold, and women during menstruation should avoid drinking this tea.

Xiaoxinggan requires a rinse before steeping. Before you start, prepare a pot of boiling water and tear open the cotton paper wrapping of the Xiaoxinggan. Remove the Xiaoxinggan and place it in a gaiwan. Pour boiling water over it and immediately pour out the water; this is considered rinsing the tea. The rinse time should not be too long, generally no more than 5 seconds. After rinsing, you can proceed with the formal steeping and finally enjoy the tea. Many people are curious about whether the first steep of Xiaoxinggan needs a rinse. In fact, the first steep of Xiaoxinggan still requires a rinse. My suggestion is that the first two steeps can be directly discarded, which helps to wash away impurities in the tea. After removing the outer packaging of the Xiaoxinggan, lift off the lid and pour in boiling water. After about 3 seconds, quickly pour out the tea water. For the second steep, pour in boiling water again and let it sit for 3-5 seconds before pouring out the tea soup. Starting from the third steep, allow a bit longer steeping time, which will help the tangerine peel absorb water fully and release its essential oils and…

Dried tangerine peel can be paired with both ripe and raw Pu'er, but relatively speaking, ripe Pu'er is better. When paired with raw tea, the dried tangerine peel can alleviate the bitterness of the tea and moderate its strong taste and nature; when paired with ripe tea, the taste is smooth and aged with a rich aroma, complementing each other perfectly.

With the arrival of autumn and winter, temperatures begin to drop, rainfall decreases, and air humidity relatively decreases as well, making the climate rather dry. Dryness can easily damage lung yin, leading to discomfort in the lungs, a dry mouth and throat, dry coughs with little phlegm, constipation, etc. This is a time when yin grows and yang wanes, so the focus should be on nourishing yin. Autumn is characterized by gathering, with all things contracting; it corresponds to the lungs, so health preservation should primarily focus on nurturing the lungs. If one goes against this natural order, it can harm the lungs, leading to diarrhea in winter and reduced ability to withstand the cold. In winter, the earth gathers and all things lie dormant; the kidneys correspond to this period and are responsible for storing essence, so health preservation should primarily focus on nurturing the kidneys.

A small green tangerine can yield around 10 infusions. A single fruit can be continuously infused, but avoid using the small green tangerine the next day and try to consume it on the same day. When brewing a small green tangerine, pour hot water for the first infusion as a rinse, then directly infuse with boiling water afterward, with an ideal temperature of 100°C. Small green tangerines have the characteristic of becoming more fragrant over time, with a taste that is sweet, smooth, and leaves a lasting fragrance in the mouth. How Many Infusions Can You Get from a Small Green Tangerine? In my evaluation, I got 18 infusions, not counting the first rinse. The later infusions took a bit longer to steep. I directly poured hot water over the tangerine without steeping or boiling it. After 18 infusions, if you use a covered bowl and let it steep, you could likely get a few more infusions. So, a good small green tangerine can yield over 20 infusions, enough to last you most of the day. Brewing Methods for Small Green Tangerines First Method – Whole Fruit Brewing: 1.

Can all teas be both steeped and boiled? Of course not. Some teas can become unpalatable when boiled. So, which teas are suitable for boiling, and which are best for steeping? Compared to steeping, boiling allows the full release of a tea’s contents, resulting in a sweeter and richer tasting tea. Which Teas Are Suitable for Boiling, and Which Are Best for Steeping? Green tea should not be boiled. It is an unfermented tea with delicate leaves. Boiling would destroy the vitamin C content and cause excessive caffeine to seep out, turning the tea yellow and making it taste bitter and astringent. Huang tea (yellow tea) should not be boiled. Yellow tea must never be boiled. Its appeal lies in its freshness. Boiling with high water temperatures would ruin the delicate green tea, causing too much caffeine to be released, resulting in a bitter and astringent flavor. Aged white tea can be boiled.

During cold weather, boiling tea always feels warmer than steeping it. As the tea is added to the water, bubbling sounds fill the air, steam rises from the spout, and the fragrance of tea permeates, warming the surroundings. The brewed tea broth gently steams, red and richly warm; a large sip spreads warmth throughout the body, relaxing one's limbs and dispelling the chill, lifting the mood. What Kind of Tea Is Suitable for Boiling? High-Quality Tea Boiling tea is a process that magnifies both its strengths and weaknesses. The tea used for boiling must be enjoyable when steeped, as poor-quality tea would yield a terrible result: all bitterness, odd flavors, and astringency would be fully extracted, making the tea unpalatable and unhealthy. In theory, all aged Pu'er can be boiled, as long as it has rich internal qualities. Such teas can withstand continuous high-temperature brewing, producing a thick, viscous broth. Tea with Age For new aged Pu'er, we generally recommend steeping over boiling.

Boiling would incorporate these flavors into the broth, resulting in an unpleasant drinking experience compared…

Based on different manufacturing processes, Pu'er tea is divided into raw and ripe varieties. Ripe tea undergoes an additional pile-fermentation process compared to raw tea. Due to these differences in production methods, the nature of raw and ripe teas varies significantly. Raw tea has a relatively cool nature, while ripe tea is warmer. Traditional Chinese medicine categorizes human constitutions as: balanced, yin-deficient, yang-deficient, qi-deficient, damp-heat, phlegm-dampness, and qi-stagnation. We can choose the right Pu'er tea according to our constitution. How to Choose the Right Pu'er Tea for Yourself 1. Balanced Constitution This is a healthy constitution, suitable for both ripe and raw teas. You can choose different teas based on seasonal changes. In summer, you can drink raw tea for its cooling effects; in winter, enjoy ripe tea to warm your stomach and body. 2. Yin-Deficient Constitution People with this constitution tend to have excessive internal heat, difficulty sleeping, and hot, sweaty palms and soles, along with rough and dry skin. This is due to an imbalance between yin and yang, with yang being stronger than yin. Those with this constitution can drink raw tea after meals during the day and consume moderate amounts of ripe tea at night. 3.…
