In autumn, the trees gradually become sparse, the leaves turn yellow, and the wind blows them down, much like after a strong and vigorous middle age, suddenly becoming... Should autumn give people a sense of desolation?
Looking up at the sky, the sky is azure, the sun is bright, and autumn is joyful. In fact, autumn does not think so. Having experienced the growth of spring and the fervor of summer, it is time to rest. It just does not understand why so many people feel sad for it. The people autumn loves feel a sense of loneliness for it for no reason, which troubles autumn a bit. It wants to make people feel warm and moisturized, so it thinks of a way... Guess! What did autumn think of for people?
Tea, black tea!
As the weather turns cool and dry, drinking black tea is indeed a good choice.
Black tea is a fully fermented and baked heat-natured tea, different from the corresponding unfermented green tea (cool-natured) and semi-fermented oolong tea (neutral-natured). After the fresh tea leaves are picked, they undergo withering (natural air drying reduces moisture by about 40%), rolling (the tea maker uses machines or hands to extract the internal substances of the tea), fermentation (under certain temperature conditions, the internal substances of the tea react to produce aroma and active compounds), and finally, like baking in a pastry shop, the tea is placed in an oven. The internal components of black tea continue to develop under the influence of high heat, and the warm and fiery nature of black tea is successfully refined.
After a process of "advanced training," black tea can be said to have "achieved fame." The white, downy coat on the tea body turns golden, and the tea body becomes fragrant. It is as dazzling as "the city covered in golden armor" and as delicate as "a woman's gentle fragrance," truly tempting.
Drink it! Yes, drink it! In autumn, people finally get such warmth.
Black tea, when brewed with hot water, has a rich aroma. Some people perceive the scent of sweet potato, some detect fruity notes, and others even smell floral fragrances like orchid or lilac. The extract of black tea is abundant, with a reddish-yellow liquor. It is said that the yellow color is what people call "tea gold—theaflavins." Theaflavins are among the most valuable components in black tea and are the first compounds from tea with confirmed pharmacological effects discovered by scientists. They are abundantly produced during the unique process of black tea—fermentation. Clinical trials have verified that theaflavins have the effects of regulating blood lipids and preventing cardiovascular diseases, with no toxic side effects. Therefore, black tea not only lowers blood lipids but also plays a significant role in clearing fatty liver, alcoholic liver, and liver cirrhosis.
Brew a cup of fragrant, warming, and healthy black tea. Outside the window, fallen leaves drift down. "Autumn" gazes at you gently...
