Chinese tea and French coffee, the philosophy of life

Chinese tea and French coffee

Light fragrance of tea, leisurely mood, elegant mood, strong human feelings … ... Through the ages, tea tasting has been an important part of Chinese life.

As early as the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China, a scholar named Lu Yu (733-804) wrote a monograph on tea, the Classic of Tea, which gave a systematic and detailed account of the cultivation, breeding, processing and quality of tea.

In China, tea is divided into green tea, black tea, black tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, white tea, Kuding tea, etc., as well as medicinal tea and scented tea. For Chinese people, tasting tea is about the form, smell, character and connotation of long-standing tea culture.

Of course, there is also the effect of tea on human physical and mental health.

It has long been well known that tea is good for health.

White tea can prevent cancer, fight cancer, prevent heat, detoxify, and treat toothache, while black tea is mainly manifested in two aspects: first, it reduces fat and relieves greasy and has a good antialcoholic effect, and it is especially greasy to eat and drink. This is also the reason why meat eaters like this kind of tea very much.

As for the efficacy of green tea, according to a recent report in the Yomiuri Shimbun, a lecturer in the Department of Medicine at Tohoku University in Japan, through clinical investigation, found that "people who drink more than two cups of green tea a day are much less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease such as recognition dysfunction than those who drink less than three cups of green tea a week. Blood samples were drawn before and after the experiment, and it was found that the risk factors of arteriosclerosis, low density bile (Oxidized-LDL), and cellular attachments such as SP-selection, which caused the initial reaction of arteriosclerosis, were also reduced. The important risk factors of arteriosclerosis (oxidized low density cholesterol of oxidized-LDL) and cell attachments such as SP-selection, which cause the initial reaction of arteriosclerosis, also decreased. The higher these numbers, the more likely it is to get oil droplets on the walls of blood vessels, and the end of a blood vessel called thrombus is easy to fall off. Blood clots flow in the blood vessels, causing strokes when they block the blood vessels of the brain. We all know that smoking is easy to cause thrombosis and arteriosclerosis, and green tea plays a role in preventing this kind of thrombus and arteriosclerosis. Green tea contains fluoride, in which catechin can inhibit carious bacteria and reduce the occurrence of dental plaque and periodontitis. The tannic acid contained in tea has bactericidal effect and can prevent food dregs from breeding bacteria, so it can effectively prevent bad breath. "

Based on the various effects of tea, it is like the necessity of digestion after a meal, it is a regulation after a day's work, it is a habit of life, it is a green health preservation, it comes from nature and returns to nature. It not only protects the health of the human body, but also becomes the life philosophy of the Chinese people sharing joys and sorrows.

A cup of fragrant tea, a rattan chair, a wooden table, a volume of poetry, or holding a large bowl of coarse porcelain, whose products are pure and natural; or playing with a group of small porcelain pots and appreciating them exquisitely; or savoring the beauty of purple sand and realizing its deep details and finally become one. Or invite three or five friends to talk and laugh, or keep quiet and think quietly. That tranquility and coziness, not only in the tea curl fragrance! The so-called peace with the world; the so-called great wisdom like a fool; the so-called spoil and humiliation are forgotten; the so-called gains and losses of fame are all in this pot of clear water.

Tea can quench thirst, but tasting tea itself is actually a kind of self-cultivation.

The coffee, which is grown in Africa and South America and is popular in Europe, has a deep dominant color and a rich white cream.

First of all, when the temperature of the coffee. Or just out of the oven, but also preheated more than 70 degrees of the cup, rich with milk, sweet and greasy with sugar, or cold dripping with ice.

Secondly, it is necessary for breakfast, in a hurry, with bread, jam and butter to provide energy, and lunch refreshments, three or two mouthfuls, with dessert cake. The fragrance left on the edge of the mouth is the secret complacency left to me during the day.

In addition, the fineness and grade of the coffee utensils, as well as the place for coffee tasting are taken from the level of identity.

Of course, coffee also has its health benefits. For example, it has the function of relieving alcohol. Drinking coffee after drinking alcohol will quickly oxidize the acetaldehyde converted from alcohol, decompose it into water and carbon dioxide and discharge it out of the body.

Drinking coffee regularly can prevent radiation damage. "radiation injury, especially the radiation of electrical appliances, has become a prominent kind of pollution at present. Indian Barba atomic researchers have reached this conclusion in mouse experiments and say it can be applied to humans. "

It is said that "Coffee has the functions of anti-oxidation and heart protection, strengthening muscles and bones, benefiting waist and knees, appetizers, eliminating fat and accumulation, promoting orifice and dehumidification, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relieving wind and relieving spasm."

But the side effects can't be ignored. Some of the excerpts are shared by all.

Make things worse when you are nervous: "caffeine helps improve alertness, agility, memory and concentration." But drinking more coffee than you are used to will produce the same dose of stimulants that you are used to, which can cause nervousness. For people with anxiety disorders, caffeine can worsen symptoms such as sweaty palms, palpitations and tinnitus. "

Aggravate high blood pressure: "caffeine is often combined with other simple painkillers because of its analgesic effect, but if you take it in large quantities for a long time, if you already have high blood pressure, using a lot of caffeine will only make your situation worse. Because caffeine alone can raise blood pressure, coupled with emotional stress, it can have a dangerous multiplication effect, so people at risk of high blood pressure should especially avoid drinking caffeinated drinks during stressful times at work. Some people who drink coffee all the year round think they are immune to the effects of caffeine, but this is not the case. One study shows that blood pressure can rise for up to 12 hours after drinking a cup of coffee. "

Induce osteoporosis: "caffeine itself has a good diuretic effect. If you drink a lot of coffee for a long time, it is easy to cause bone loss and adversely affect the preservation of bone mass. For women, it may increase the threat of osteoporosis." But the premise is that people who don't get enough calcium in normal food, or people who don't move very often, plus women after menopause, calcium loss caused by lack of estrogen, coupled with a large amount of caffeine, can pose a threat to bones. " If you can enjoy it in a reasonable amount, you can still stop eating for fear of choking.

But tea and coffee also have something in common: they taste bitter, but to different degrees. I think it makes sense to say that the bitterness of tea and coffee has to be spit out.

Otherwise, why would people comment bluntly and not be happy? Why would you tell me what to do and make Yiran angry? But it has nothing to do with identity.

Life is like the rumbling high-speed subway, regardless of the ground and underground, that momentum, speed, precision. Running fast to day after day.

Tea, when boiling water simply rushes into it, you can see its whole leaf to appreciate its original color, which shows the nature and integrity like a needle like a sword.

Coffee, boiled in distillation and filtered, can be smelled of its fragrance and exquisite intention, showing the beauty and beauty of the fragrance.

As a result, compared with Western coffee, Chinese tea is less full-bodied, publicized, more elegant and reserved.
