在秋天的时候,漫山遍野的野菊花次第开放。采摘回来,简单挑拣一下,然后晒干。量大的话可以拿来当枕芯缝一个菊花枕,少的话可以留着泡水,就是一杯最简单的菊花茶了。
很多茶友,都特别喜欢茶百科的金丝皇菊茶。金丝皇菊味辛甘苦,能疏散风热、平肝明目、清热解毒、去火抗辐射、滋润肺腑的功用。且不说它口感甘甜,只看一眼它绽放后的姿态,也足以惊艳。品饮起来,赏心又悦目。
生活中,特别是女士朋友们,也会经常听到“花茶”这个词。脸色欠佳,闺蜜拿来一罐玫瑰花茶,让你多喝点养养颜……着急上火了,老妈会嘱咐你说,喝点金银花茶/菊花 teasah……那么问题来了,这些菊花 tea, 玫瑰 flower teas, 金银 flower teas 的,你们真的是“flower tea”吗?
非也非也!这些应该叫“herbal tea”。我们小编带大家一起了解一下吧:Flower Tea for China's unique creation, while herbal tea is a foreign product.
中国 Flower Tea production began in the Song Dynasty, with a history of over 1,000 years. During the Ming Dynasty period, when tea cultivation flourished and became more widespread. In the Qing dynasty era small-scale factories emerged and it became an important part of Chinese culture. By then China had already produced over 7,500 tons of Flower Tea annually.
Fuzhou is the largest producer of Flower Tea but recently Jiangsu Province , Zhejiang Province , Hunan Province and Guangdong province have also started to produce it.
Herbal Teas on the other hand can be traced back to ancient times in Mesopotamia where people used spices like coriander and dill as early as 5 thousand years ago. Later in ancient Greece Hippocrates who was known as the father of Western medicine wrote about using medicinal herbs boiled into a drink which marked its beginning use as a treatment drug.
"Flower Tea" only sees flowers not seeing leaves "herbal teasyou only see flowers without any leaves"
This phrase may sound awkward but it encapsulates how we differentiate between these two types of beverages: one that uses green or black or oolong leafy material with fragrant blossoms through fermentation process called 'heating' to create; another made from floral parts without any leafy elements simply steeped like you would do with traditional loose-leaf herbal infusions because they are traditionally used just for their flavor rather than health benefits at all times during history so far since recorded time!
The difference between them lies mainly within their preparation methods: while making FlowerTea involves layering petals onto green/black/oolong leaves allowing them to absorb flavors before drying; HerbalTeas typically involve no such interaction - instead using ingredients solely derived from plant life itself (flowers/herbs etc.) often combined together first before being dried or left fresh depending on preference!
Lastly I want you all remember that different types might suit your body better based on whether someone has colds/hot temperatures etc., so please consider this when choosing what kind will work best for each individual consumer
And now here comes our main event: let me tell you something fascinating about both these worlds... Both have been popular throughout history due largely because they offer relief from various ailments associated with modern lifestyle diseases such as stress anxiety insomnia digestive problems heart disease diabetes type II obesity among others—these issues seem increasingly prevalent today given increasing sedentary lives high-stress jobs unhealthy diets lack exercise sleep deprivation smoking alcohol consumption etcetera
Now if ever there was an opportunity where people could benefit greatly by exploring alternative solutions beyond conventional medical treatments - surely this must be considered seriously indeed! And who knows maybe future research might even uncover new ways combining certain aspects from either side which could lead towards discovering novel therapies addressing some long-standing challenges facing humanity today?
