Tea art, with a long history and profound cultural background, has a close relationship with religion. It is the beautiful artistic conception of the whole tea tasting process, including the appreciation of tea tasting techniques and artistic operation means, and the beautiful appreciation of tea tasting environment. Its process embodies the mutual unity of form and spirit, and it is a cultural phenomenon formed in the process of tea drinking. Tea art includes: tea selection, water selection, tea-making technology, tea art, environmental selection and creation, etc. The background of tea art is an important means to set off the theme, which renders the pure, elegant and simple temperament of tea and enhances the artistic appeal. Different styles of tea art have different background requirements, and only by choosing a suitable background can we better understand the taste of tea.

Tea is an indispensable part of people's daily life in China. China has a saying: "Seven things to open the door: rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea". The habit of drinking tea is deeply rooted in the hearts of China people and has a history of thousands of years. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu, who became a monk in his early years and later became a secular monk, summed up the experience of his predecessors and completed the world's first book on tea-Tea Classic. After that, the custom of drinking tea soon spread all over China, from emperors, ministers to vendors.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, the Dutch East India Company imported tea from China to Europe for the first time. By the middle of17th century, "drinking tea" had become a fashion in British aristocratic society. In China, due to cultural and geographical differences, "tea" has two pronunciations. North and TEE are pronounced CHA in the south. Therefore, countries that import tea from northern China, such as Turkey, are pronounced HAY, Russian CHAI and Japanese Cha; However, countries that import tea from the south of China by sea have different pronunciations. For example, Spanish pronunciation is TE, German pronunciation is TEE, and English pronunciation is TEA.

Fresh-sun-dried tea leaves are made of young leaves of tea trees. There are different kinds and names because of different production methods. The most important key of tea-making method is "fermentation". As a result of fermentation, tea will gradually turn red from the original bright green, and the more fermentation, the redder the color; The aroma will also change from leaf fragrance to floral fragrance, ripe fruit fragrance or maltose fragrance due to the different fermentation amount. Non-fermented tea is called green tea, and the brewed tea soup is green or yellow in green, with the aroma of fresh vegetables, such as Longjing and Biluochun. Fully fermented tea is called black tea, and the brewed tea soup is vermilion with the aroma of maltose; And semi-fermented tea is oolong tea. Oolong tea is a characteristic of China.

The most representative producing area of scented tea is Taiwan Province Province, China. Oolong tea can be divided into three categories: light fermentation, medium fermentation and heavy fermentation. Light fermentation, such as green tea, is characterized by high aroma, elegance and golden soup color. Moderately fermented foods, such as Tieguanyin, Narcissus, Frozen Top, etc. They are all brown, and they taste mature and steady, emphasizing "throat rhyme"; And heavy fermentation, such as Bai Hao Oolong, the soup is orange-red and has the aroma of ripe fruit.

If you want to make a pot of kung fu tea, you must pay attention to the water quality, water temperature, tea quantity, tea set and other factors. "Water quality" must use fresh soft water (the kind with less minerals) to avoid hard water; The "water temperature" changes with the brewing of different teas. For most kinds of tea, it is more suitable to brew at a temperature close to 100℃. However, green tea and light fermented tea should not be too high, usually should not exceed 90℃; The placement of "tea quantity" varies with different types of tea, ranging from one quarter to three quarters of the capacity of the teapot. Pour it out about one minute after soaking, but it varies from tea to tea, and the time for re-brewing must be relatively prolonged; As for the "tea set", the purple clay pot is the best, the teapot size matches the appropriate cup, and the white in the cup better distinguishes the soup color.
