Other related aspects of Tibetan tea

At the 2006 China Western Cultural Industry Expo held not long ago, Ya 'an people came up with another "strange trick"-an "art wall" made of Tibetan tea bricks attracted the attention of countless guests. "You Yaan people are amazing! Tea is for drinking. You think so badly. Show Tibetan tea in the form of an art wall! "The staff of Sichuan Ya 'an Tea Factory said loudly:" Putting tea on the wall, from drinks to home improvement materials, is a subversive revolution in using tea! " In Ya 'an, the first tea culture theme hotel in China also appeared. Entering this hotel, the "Tea Gallery" built by more than 100 glass paintings tells the history of tea culture in China and Ya 'an. The "Tea Ceremony" relief in the reception hall reproduces the prosperous scene of the ancient tea-horse road since the Western Han Dynasty, and the hardships of the ancient tea-horse road have inherited the profound charm of tea culture. The "teahouse" built with Tibetan tea bricks is even more fragrant, and it is a must ... When I walked into the teahouse decorated with Tibetan tea bricks in Xikang Hotel, a thick tea fragrance came to my face, and I couldn't help taking a few deep breaths. The whole teahouse is filled with refreshing tea fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed. The waiter said that the decoration here is based on tea culture. What looks like bricks on the walls and ceilings are actually Tibetan "tea bricks". Square brick tea has become a real "brick tea".

Tea bricks made of Tibetan tea are natural in color and inlaid with petals such as chrysanthemums and roses. As decorative materials, they not only reflect the unique decorative style and show the profound culture of Chinese Tibetan tea, but also reduce the harm of some decorative elements to human health. Set green, environmental protection, health in one, and can be effectively reused, so Tibetan tea bricks soon became the new favorite of home improvement materials and entered the city.

It seems that there is no difference between tea bricks and traditional brick tea, but a closer look shows that tea bricks are thinner, patterns are also available, and special-shaped bricks have also appeared. "There is only one purpose, which is convenient for home improvement." Personalized processing can be carried out according to the needs of users, such as "longevity brick", "wedding brick" and "zodiac brick", and special commemorative tea bricks can also be made, which are both ornamental and collectible, greatly increasing the added value. Decades later, tea bricks "retired" from the wall may be more valuable. After all, side tea is easy to collect, and the longer it takes, the greater its value. First of all, Tibetan tea is a unique category in Ya 'an.

Secondly, Tibetan tea is fully fermented tea (modern technology is also called deep fermentation). Pu 'er (Pu 'er raw tea) is a kind of post-fermented tea, which is mainly aged by sun-drying in the later storage. This is completely different from the pile fermentation mode and effect of Tibetan tea;

Thirdly, compared with the color of soup, Tibetan tea is red because of its high content of thearubigins, while Pu 'er tea has a slightly higher content of theaflavins, and the color of soup is yellow and red.

Fourth, the two kinds of tea have different tastes and fragrances. Tibetan tea is not astringent or bitter, and has a sweet aftertaste. Pu 'er raw tea (not aged) is slightly astringent, but its aroma is much higher than that of Tibetan tea.
