The tea bead, Xuri Dongsheng, sooner than and thru infusion
reworking look of the tealeaves by handcrafts
Sooner than the teabag was invented, there was one different choice to pack free leaves collectively to permit them to be fashions for a cup or a pot — tied tea. A dosage is tied collectively each when the tea continues to be mushy sooner than drying, or made moist as soon as extra after it is already dried. A whole lot of the tea alternate options used for this craft are baked inexperienced teas. This maybe an earlier variety, nonetheless it isn’t a lot much less useful than the tea bag, and can be reasonably extra acceptable prime quality.
The oldest variety could possibly be the “chrysanthemum” kind, which continues to be being made in a lot of manufacturing areas in China. A trendy one is the large pearl kind that “blooms” proper right into a flower after it is soaked in scorching water. That is accessible in a variety of designs and gimmicks. The earlier variety is way much less labour intensive (comparatively speaking) to provide so has a lot much less have an effect on on tea type than the latter one, which takes further wetting and a bit further hand work in shaping. There are moreover every kind of formations and shapes basing on the simple idea of tying leaves collectively, nonetheless I am not going to spend safety on a selection which normal type prime quality would not impress me.
One variety which making has the least ends in type maybe the small pearl kind. It is made usually from one shoot with one or two leaves hooked as much as the an identical stalk. The province of Fujian produces lots of the pearl shapes on the market on the market, an enormous proportion is scented with jasmine or jasmine combination flowers, and named jasmine pearls, or dragon pearls, or such names.
