Drinking tea is the first bitter thing in life.
The second is as sweet as love, and the third is as light as a breeze.
Tomorrow, on Tanabata,
What to prepare for your favorite TA?
Sending a cup of tea is a good choice. Tea itself is a romantic existence, accompanied by tea, the longest confession is this.
Since ancient times, there have been countless poems about tea sung by literati, and the phrase "beauty is like scented tea" is unique in ancient and modern times. Mr. Dongpo compared good tea to a good man, adding fragrance to tea and holding fragrant tea in his hand, which has his own style.
Qing Zhao likes the natural interest of "gambling on books and splashing tea fragrance", and the natural interest of Yunniang lotus tea is "absolutely fragrant". Xiaowan "small fire and fine smoke, small tripod and long spring, you must brag." Frame after frame of beautiful pictures, women in love and women in tea are frozen, which makes people sigh.

In China, tea has always been regarded as an elegant thing. Because of its noble character, it is not suitable for transplantation, and it is regarded as a symbol of loyal love by the ancients. As early as the Ming Dynasty, there was a record of "hiring tea".
The custom of marrying a wife with tea is recorded in A Dream of Red Mansions. In episode 25, Wang Xifeng smiled and said to Lin Daiyu, "Since you ate our tea, why don't you be our wife?"
It can be seen that there is a custom of betrothal with tea in ancient times, and "eating other people's tea" is equivalent to the default meaning.
In the old society, the ancients called wedding etiquette "three teas and six rituals". The so-called "three teas" refer to the "tea" when dating, the "tea" when getting engaged and the "tea" when newlyweds get married. It has been recorded in Meng Lianglu that when the man gives the bride price, other gifts are essential, and tea is essential.
In southern Fujian and Taiwan Province Province, the custom of "making a living from tea" is called "three tea ceremonies". Because these three teas run through the whole wedding and are extremely important in the wedding, they are called "Tian Li".
In Zhejiang and Hangzhou, there is also the custom of betrothal with tea, and there is a saying that "the family who eats tea is the home". Folk proverbs such as "One woman doesn't eat two teas". "Tea" here means "engagement". Because tea trees must be sown, transplanting will not give birth, which means that marriage is "faithful" and "seeded".
At the present wedding ceremony, although the tea ceremony is not particularly valued, when the bride and groom kowtow to their elders, in addition to the ceremony, they should also offer their parents a cup of fragrant tea.
Tanabata is a traditional Valentine's Day in China. If the woman gets married on this day, the bride's family should prepare "Qixi tea" and send it to the man's house together with tea and various cakes. This custom is called "begging for cleverness", which means seeking cleverness.

There are thousands of kinds of tea and customs in the world, and love and tea have many similarities.
Love is like tea, which is the cleanest and symbolizes the true meaning of love. The closeness of two hearts, such as the blending of tea and water, is a brave and sincere delivery, a timeless emotion, just like a bowl of flavored tea soup. Compared with the flower language of Valentine's Day in the West, the tea in the East is more romantic and lingering.

Love of green tea
When you, my love, ride a bamboo horse, run in circles and throw your childhood.
We live together in an alley in Qiantang, both young and happy.
-Li Bai's Long March
The characteristic of green tea is that it needs to be preserved. Love like green tea is managed and cared for by two people together.
Sipping a refreshing little wine can't help but miss the feeling when you are not alive. At that time, the beautiful summer, with the fragrance of soap, the pond where fish were caught together, the night when the stars were counted, the breeze, the whistle and the back seat of the bicycle evoked the tenderness of youth and ignorance at a certain moment, and I was glad that I didn't understand obsession at that time. In retrospect, it is more subtle and sweeter.

Love of white tea
If her husband is a single-minded man,
Never leave.
-Zhuo Wenjun's "White-headed Song"
"Once upon a time, the sun was slow. Cars, horses and mail are all slow. Only enough to love someone for a lifetime. " An eternal love is not the pursuit of sensuality, but inner harmony. It is as peaceful and moist as white tea, but it is not vigorous, but it is written into the whole life.
"I hope to win a heart and never leave." This is the love that many people admire, such as that cup of white tea, which has no strong aroma and dazzling color, so it is plain, clear and elegant but always meaningful and timeless. ......

Love of yellow tea
Qingqing is your collar, YY is my miss.
If I didn't go to see you, didn't you receive my letter?
-"The Book of Songs Zheng Feng Ji Zi"
Yellow tea tastes mellow and sweet with rich aroma. Yellow leaves and yellow soup set each other off. Loyalty to love is like "yellow leaves and yellow soup" in yellow tea. If you never leave, I will live and die together.
Huangcha's love attitude is waiting, and love is a little tempted. She always comes in a reserved and low-key, elegant and graceful way, which lingers in my heart, but for you, I have been thoughtful so far.

Love of green tea
When Jinfeng met Yuru,
It won, but there were countless people.
-Qin Guan's "Queqiao Fairy"
Thin clouds are smart, flying stars spread grievances, and the splendor of golden wind and jade dew is as bright as oolong tea, which seems to surpass all the beauty in the world, but it also contains the bitterness of parting.
It combines the fragrance of black tea and green tea, and it can always blend into the deepest part of people's hearts after being imported, which is unforgettable. This feeling is very similar to the unforgettable love I experienced when I was young. Many years later, it should be a beautiful moment in name only. Just a memory, I was disconsolate at that time.

Love of black tea
It's cloudy and rainy, and chickens crow endlessly.
How can I be unhappy when I see you in the wind and rain?
-The Book of Songs? Zheng Feng? wind and rain
Black tea needs to be tasted slowly. When the initial bitterness and sweetness slowly melt, it becomes as plain as boiled water, leaving only a faint fragrance between the teeth and cheeks. That is the most unforgettable taste of black tea.
The expression of love is sincere and natural, trickling and sweet. Just like black tea, it can withstand the dull fleeting time and bring you the initial sweetness and romance. The taste of that memory is just like that of that year.
six
Love of black tea
Life and death are rich and happy.
Hold your hand and grow old with your son.
-The Book of Songs? Hurricane? Drumming sound
One of the most striking characteristics of black tea is that "the older you get, the more fragrant you get." The Bible says that love is enduring patience and kindness. People's life has suffered too many vicissitudes, and eventually they will be silent, such as the sharpening of pregnant sand pearls, just as time is to the carving of Pu 'er tea.
The same is true of true love, which slowly precipitates and transforms in secular time and bears a simple and pure heart in the long years. Even if the years pass and the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, you are still TA's sweetheart.

Even if it corresponds to tea love, where is love as simple as drinking tea?
You can't just put two people's feelings in a cup and rush with time. This Tanabata, you also need tea love stories to help you.
You can't talk about tea at this time. Similar to flower language, different teas have their own love stories. Simply list a few:
▲ "Biluochun": Implicit and strong love
Born in Wudi, Dongting Biluochun has inherited the local subtle and graceful style since ancient times, and its petite and curly appearance is unique. Tribe's attractive silver-green appearance looks like a reserved person, but suddenly she has a strong love for another person. It is so twisted and abnormal, but it is reasonable and natural.
▲ White silver needle: natural and pure love
White tea is the most natural tea, and Baihao Yinzhen is the top grade in white tea, which is known as the "beauty" and "tea king" in tea. It is used as a commemorative tea for the weddings of two British royal princes, symbolizing that love will not fade, and it will become more and more beautiful and happy after marriage until it turns white.
▲ Junshan Silver Needle: Low-key Silent Love
Junshan Yinzhen is an outstanding representative of yellow tea. Tea buds are golden yellow inside and completely exposed outside, which is called "gold inlaid jade". It is said that Princess Wencheng chose to take Junshan Yinzhen tea to Tibet when she got married. What a low-key and connotative luxury!
▲ Dahongpao: Sincere and passionate love
Dahongpao has created a unique rock rhyme because it grows in the cracks of Wuyishan rocks. Its tea soup is rich in color and fragrance, enduring for a long time. Whether it's cinnamon with high aroma and domineering, or daffodils with long and mellow tea soup, drinkers can always feel its unrestrained and fiery for the first time.
▲ Jin Junmei: Love at first sight
Jin Junmei grew up in Tongmuguan, Wuyishan, the birthplace of black tea in the world. She is the top grade of Zhengshan nationality. She was born with an irresistible charm, a slender and delicate appearance, gold and black colors, and an unrepeatable tea fragrance. I wonder how many tea drinkers fell in love with her at the first contact.
▲ Pu 'er Tea: Love Worth Waiting for
Pu 'er tea is an aristocratic family in black tea. With the accumulation of years and the aging of years, it is more and more fragrant and mellow, which often brings surprises to collectors. True love should be like high-quality Pu 'er tea, which is worth our long wait.
If I am boiled water, you are tea.
Then your fragrance must depend on my tasteless.
Let your dry and soft.
Spread out inside me.
Let my infiltration stretch your face.
The closeness of two hearts, such as the blending of tea and water, is a brave and sincere delivery. A long-standing emotion is like an intriguing tea soup.
Drinking tea for a lifetime may be the most beautiful love story of Tanabata.
