为什么要醒茶 有些茶是需要醒的，有些茶是不需要的

这个事情怎么说呢，其实看茶叶的种类，也看你个人，这样子说吧，头泡茶是否能喝取决于你喝的是什么茶。”

一、为什么要醒茶

从茶道的角度来说，第一泡茶的术语称为“醒茶”。意思是让尘封的茶叶通过，与空气和水分的接触苏醒过来，重而焕发出茶叶的本质。通常颗粒型(铁观音)和砖茶(熟普洱)，都有醒茶这一说。铁观音的醒茶，是为了舒展茶叶，熟普洱的醒茶，是因为它经过渥堆发酵，相对来说洗一洗个人感觉会干净一些。

也有的茶友认为，茶叶在制作、运输和保存时会沾染灰尘，“醒茶”的目的就是为了洗掉灰尘、清除杂质。

有些茶是需要醒的，有些茶是不需要的。

1、发酵茶需要醒茶

是因为那些储存数年以上的紧压茶,由于长期存放,茶叶或多或少沾染了一些有益或者有害的细菌,加上撬茶,改变了茶叶原来的存在状态。这样把他们盛起来与空气充分接触,一些“见光死”的细菌或者病毒就此死去或者离开,一些陈年的味道挥发在空气中,茶叶表面与空气接触后加快氧化过程,从而唤醒茶叶中的

像乌龙茶，黑茶，大宗的红茶，白茶等是有醒茶这一步的，有些陈年的黑茶可能还要洗两次。

2、芽头较嫩的茶不需要醒茶

很多芽头做的比较嫩的茶、顶级比较高的绿茶、白茶、黄茶、红茶等，是不需要的醒茶的。这些品种的茶第一泡的，内涵物质是非常丰富，口感也特别鲜爽，醒茶只会让营养物流失。

3、要不要醒茶也取决于茶叶的品质

俗话说得好，一分钱一分货，像有些平台为了吸引人，就推出价格极低的茶叶，那么这种茶，再喝的时候就一定要醒茶了，因为相对来说，这种茶的制作工艺没有那么好的保障，为了个人的健康，还是建议醒茶。

而像那种几千几万一斤的茶叶，有人工和机器专门挑选茶叶，这种茶相对来说，品质上肯定是有一定的保障的，那么这种茶叶要不要醒茶就看你个人啦!

二、醒茶的水喝不喝

第一泡茶喝不喝，本身并不做规定，完全取决于喝茶的人。

对于我来说，大部分的茶叶第一泡我都是不会倒掉的，因为我觉得茶叶是有物质组成的，其次它的第一泡至最后一泡，滋味、香气都会有微妙的变化，所以每一泡我都不想错过，想仔细品尝。就拿我们现在喝的这款红茶，第一泡茶，我就舍不得倒掉。

当然，对于老茶如陈年普洱、陈年白茶、黑茶等，这类茶叶还是建议洗一遍，因为这类茶叶经过时间常年的积淀，茶叶的内部物质处于一个沉睡的状态，所以对于这些茶品，第一泡醒茶的水，口感就不是那么的好，这种第一泡茶，一般就建议不要喝。

“我知道了，并不是所有的茶，第一泡都不能喝，很多茶叶经过了长时间的撵揉，它的茶汁大部分都浸入在表面，第一遍茶中既有杂质，也同样蕴含着人能吸收的成分在里面，例如茶多酚、氨基酸、醚浸出物等。如果说购买的茶叶卫生质量有保证，那么第一杯茶喝与不喝完全取决于个人口味”

How do you say this? Actually, it depends on the type of tea leaves, and also on you. Let’s put it this way, whether you can drink the first tea depends on what kind of tea you drink. "

1. Why wake up for tea

From a tea ceremony perspective, the term for the first brew is called "wake up tea". The meaning is to let the dusty tea leaves pass through, to wake up in contact with air and moisture, and rejuvenate the essence of tea leaves. Usually granular (Tieguanyin) and brick tea (cooked Pu'er), there is a saying of awakening tea. The wake-up tea of Tieguanyin is to stretch the tea leaves, and the wake-up tea of cooked Pu'er is because it has been fermented in a heap, and relatively speaking, it will feel cleaner after washing.

Some tea lovers also believe that tea leaves will be contaminated with dust during production, transportation and storage, and the purpose of "awakening tea" is to wash off dust and remove impurities.

Some teas need to be awakened, and some teas are not.

1. Fermented tea needs to wake up tea

It is because those pressed teas that have been stored for more than a few years, due to long-term storage, the tea leaves are more or less contaminated with some beneficial or harmful bacteria, and the tea leaves have changed their original state of existence. In this way, they are placed in full contact with the air, and some bacteria or viruses that "see the light to die" will die or leave, and some old flavors will evaporate in the air.

Like oolong tea, dark tea, bulk black tea, white tea, etc., there is a step of awakening the tea, and some aged dark tea may need to be washed twice.

2. Tea with tender buds does not need to wake up tea

Many buds make relatively tender tea, top-level green tea, white tea, yellow tea, black tea, etc., which do not need to wake up tea. These varieties of tea are the first to be brewed. The connotative substances are very rich, and the taste is very fresh. Waking up the tea will only cause the loss of nutrients.

3. Whether to wake up the tea also depends on the quality of the tea leaves

As the saying goes, you get what you get for every penny. For example, some platforms launch extremely low-priced tea leaves in order to attract people. Then, when you drink this kind of tea, you must wake up the tea, because relatively speaking, this kind of tea is very expensive. The production process of tea is not so well guaranteed. For personal health, it is recommended to wake up tea.

And like the kind of tea with thousands of tens of thousands of pounds, there are people and machines that specially select the tea leaves. Relatively speaking, this kind of tea must have a certain guarantee in terms of quality, so it is up to you whether you want to wake up the tea or not. La!

2. Do you drink the water that wakes up the tea?

Whether to drink the first cup of tea or not is not a rule in itself, it is entirely up to the person who drinks the tea.

For me, most of the tea leaves are not poured out for the first brew, because I think tea is made up of substances. Secondly, the taste and aroma of tea will have subtle changes from the first brew to the last brew. , so I don't want to miss every dip, I want to taste it carefully. Take this black tea we are drinking now, the first time I brewed it, I was reluctant to throw it away.

Of course, for old tea such as aged Pu'er, aged white tea, dark tea, etc., it is recommended to wash this type of tea, because after the accumulation of this type of tea for many years, the internal material of the tea is in a sleeping state, so for these teas The taste of the first brewed tea is not so good, so it is generally recommended not to drink this kind of first brewed tea.

"I know, not all teas can't be drunk at the first brew. Many tea leaves have been rubbed for a long time, and most of their tea juice is soaked on the surface. There are impurities in the first tea, and the same is true. It contains ingredients that people can absorb, such as tea polyphenols, amino acids, ether extracts, etc. If the hygienic quality of the purchased tea is guaranteed, then whether to drink the first cup of tea or not depends entirely on personal taste.”
