A Note to Enjoy Tea  (1)

Highly appreciated for visiting us here.

Yes, as it known to all, Tea is one of important drink for Easterners. Like wines to westerners, Chinese people enjoy various kinds of teas. Theoretically, all teas can be made from the same plant called camellia sinensis, which consists of a large range of varietals and grows in different environments. Hence, combined with different methods of processing, the leaf has distinctive shapes, aromas and flavours which attracts tea lovers.

In China, there are numerous names of teas, however, they can be classified into six categories by ascending order of fermentation. Today, I want to share Green Tea:

Green tea is best known for its health properties, as it contains a high amount of antioxidants. Fresh tea leaves are picked and quickly heated by pan firing or steaming to prevent further fermentation. The flavours are refreshing, ranging from grassing and vegetal to nutty and floral. The shapes of Chinese green teas are much appreciated by Chinese tea connoisseurs, therefore it is best brewed with a glass. Green and white teas are delicate and best enjoyed when made with lower-temperature water.
