Draw lessons from the "tea extractor" designed by Espresso coffee machine

China is the origin of tea trees. China's contribution to human beings in the tea industry mainly lies in the earliest discovery and use of tea as a plant to develop it into a brilliant and unique tea culture in China, the East and even the whole world.

Chinese tea industry first flourished in Bashu, and then spread to the east and south and spread all over the country. In the Tang Dynasty, it spread to Japan and Korea, and was introduced by the West after the 16th century. When tea first spread to Europe, it was so expensive that both the Dutch and the British regarded it as a "tribute" and luxury. Later, with the continuous increase of tea input, the price gradually came down and became a daily drink among the people. Since then, the British have become the biggest tea drinkers in the world.

In recent years, the coffee consumption market in the UK has grown rapidly, foreign international coffee brands have entered the British market one after another, and the local coffee chain brand Costa has developed rapidly. With the rise of modern coffee shops and the extensive use of Espresso coffee machines, the traditional tea-making process is also affected by coffee production.

Cambridge Consultants is a British design and development company, they learn from the working principle of the Italian espresso machine (Espresso machine) to design the latest "tea extraction machine". Just select the type of tea on the tea machine, the temperature of the water, the concentration of the extracted tea, and press the button to make tea as quickly as the barista uses the Espresso coffee mechanism to make Espreso coffee (see picture above). There is no doubt that this kind of "tea extraction machine" will be very attractive to modern coffee shops and beverage shops-fast and convenient, but the disadvantages are also obvious, lacking the cultural connotation and atmosphere of the "tea ceremony".
