Originally, tea was valued for its medicinal qualities. It has long been known that tea aids in digestion, which is why many Chinese prefer to consume it after their meal. (Another interesting side effect for smokers is that tea hastens the discharge of nicotine from the body). The elevation of tea drinking to an art form began in the 8th century, with the publication of L\u00f9y\u01d4&#8217;s(\u9646\u7fbd, a Tea Master during the peak of the Tang Dynasty.) &#8220;The Classic Art of Tea.&#8221; (\u8336\u7ecf; ch\u00e1j\u012bng) The highly esteemed poet and former Buddhist priest had strict notions about the proper procedure for brewing, steeping, and serving tea. For example, only water from a slow-moving stream was acceptable, and the tea leaves had to be placed in a porcelain cup. The perfect milieu for enjoying the finished product was in a pavilion next to a water lily pond, preferably in the company of a desirable woman.<br \/>\nTea aficionados are often surprised to learn that all tea comes from the same source: the Camilla Sinensis bush. While there are hundreds are varieties of Chinese teas, most fall into six basic categories.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u767d\u8336(B\u00e1ich\u00e1, white tea )is made from immature tea leaves that are picked shortly before the buds have fully opened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u7eff\u8336(L\u01dcch\u00e1, Green teas) are not fermented during processing, and thus retain the original color of the tea leaves. The most famous green tea is the expensive \u9f99\u4e95\u8336(L\u00f3ngj\u01d0ng ch\u00e1,Dragon Well tea), grown in the hillsides of \u676d\u5dde(H\u00e1ngzh\u014du, Capital of Zhejiang Province).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u7ea2\u8336( H\u00f3ngch\u00e1,black teas) are made from fermented leaves, which accounts for their darker color. Popular varieties of black tea include Bo lei, a Cantonese tea often drunk with dim sum, and luk on &#8211; a milder tea favored by the elderly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u4e4c\u9f99\u8336(W\u016bl\u00f3ngch\u00e1, oolong teas) are partially fermented, resulting in a black-green tea. Examples of oolong tea include Soi sin, a bitter tasting brew cultivated in the Fukien province.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u9ec4\u8336(hu\u00e1ng ch\u00e1) -Yellow Tea is basically pan fried green tea. Yellow tea leaves have a slower drying phase to Green tea, which allows the leaves to sit and turn yellow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u82b1\u8336 (Hu\u0101ch\u00e1, scented teas) made by mixing various flowers and petals with green or oolong teas. The best known among these is \u8309\u8389\u82b1\u8336(M\u00f2l\u00echu\u0101 ch\u00e1, jasmine tea).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you like drinking tea?
