2. 茶的分类 As regards the method of making tea, the Chinese variety can be classified into green tea, black tea, oolong tea, scented tea, tuo tea (bowl-shaped compressed mass of tea leaves), and brick tea, each consisting of many types.
3. Chinese tea can be divided into two parts.One is called “basic tea”,the other is called” reprocessed tea”.The basic tea has 6 kinds.greentea,blacktea,white tea, oolong tea,yellow tea and dark green tea.The reprocessed tea includes scented tea, compressed tea and health tea. 茶大致可分为两类:一是基本茶类,二是再加工茶类。 基本茶类:可细分成绿茶、黄茶、白茶、黑茶、青茶、红茶; 再加工茶:是以基本茶为主,进行再加工的茶类。或加入香料,或提取汁液、或将散茶蒸热紧压等。可分为花茶、紧压茶、萃取茶、果味茶、保健茶等。
10. 黑茶 Dark Tea 黑茶属于后发酵茶(发酵度为100%) ,是我国特有的茶类; 最早的黑茶是由四川生产的,由绿毛茶经蒸压而成的边销茶。在加工成团块的工程中,要经过二十多天的湿坯堆积,所以毛茶的色泽逐渐由绿变黑。成品团块茶叶的色泽为黑褐色,并形成了茶品的独特风味,这就是黑茶的由来。 黑茶是利用菌发酵的方式制成的一种茶叶,它的出现距今已有四百多年的历史。由于黑茶的原料比较粗老,制造过程中往往要堆积发酵较长时间,所以叶片大多呈现暗褐色,因此被人们称为“黑茶”。 代表茶:普洱茶、六堡茶等。
11. 花茶(Scented tea) 又称熏花茶、香花茶、香片。为我国独特的一个茶叶品类。 由精制茶坯与具有香气的鲜花拌和,通过一定的加工方法,促使茶叶吸附鲜花的芬芳香气而成。 花茶不仅仍有茶的功效,而且花香也具有良好的药理作用,裨益人体健康 代表花茶是福建產的茉莉花茶。 Scented tea is peculiar to China, which is made by smoking tea leaves with fragrant flowers. The most famous one is jasmine tea produced in Fujian Province. Scented tea is processed from first-class green tea scented with sweet-smelling flowers. The scented teas are named after the flower with which the tea is scented: Jasmine Tea, Yulan Tea (Chloranthus Tea). Processed with flowers of subtle and distinctive scents, the teas yield a variety of refined flavor. The rich aroma of the flower and the brisk taste of the tea make the beverage a work of art.
