Have a cup of Hakkas tea:the Lei tea

I was just reading the comment from a acquaintance whose nick name Children ,put on yesterday: “u r make me hungry, at this chill night…”

=)I hope that he could realize his mistake in English grammar .( chortle)^^

I admit that I’m born to have a kind of blindness,say sensible ,I mean.Or a little bit crazy that I might be infatuated with the name of a person like Children. Even I have never seem him before.I don’t know who he is .And have no idea about what kind of person he might be .However the instinct had already gave me the outline of him.It’s hard to describe the special feelings.Because it’s out of thin air appeared in my life .But I’m sure indeed if the God give me a chance to meet him.I will not refuse to open the nearly dead fire.And I promise it’s my own true feelings.

Ok ,those seems definitely too far from the topic I want to say ,that is the tea!!Oh, my god,so you can tell that I am a person like pursue freedom.Why I mentioned so much outlying stuff ??

Oh,yes!Continue the comment I was reading .I was suddenly inspired when I read the phrase “at this chilly night” Then a topic I want to talk about on my blog today jump out of my mind–Have a cup of Hakkas tea at this chilly night!

Sounds weird !Isn’t it?How can the chilly night remind you of the tea.No connection .Hemmmmm, It is said that the students studying in art has a fast jumpily thinking.^^

Ok, return to my muttons :The Hakkas tea .

China has a rich tea culture  

while the history of tea is really a long story.

The tea bush originated in the area where India, China and Myanmar meet, in the hot wet mountainous regions of the Eastern Himalayas. It was originally eaten and drunk by tribal groups in this area. Over two thousand years ago it was used as a medicine and aid to concentration in China, being helped by the expansion of Buddhism from India.

Origins of human use of tea are described in several myths, but it is unknown as to where tea was first created as a drink.

Ok, Let’s go back to the Lei tea–Origin from Hakkas.Frist of all ,let’s have a brief look about the Hakkas.

The Hakka are a subgroup of the Han Chinese people who live predominantly in the provinces of Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Fujian in China. Their ancestors are said to have originated in the Henan and Shanxi provinces of northern China over 1,700 years ago. In a series of migrations, the Hakka settled in their present locations in southern China, and then migrated overseas to various nations throughout the world. The Hakka have had a significant influence on the course of Chinese and Overseas Chinese history: in particular, they have been a source of revolutionary and political leaders.

The Lei tea is a representative  thing in the Hakkas’ rich cultural cuisine.And has a function of the healthy body.

HOW TO MAKE THE LEI TEA

OK,believe it or not, only not drinking the tea can be a healthy way ,but also it’s a good exercise for you to make them.Different from the regular tea the lei tea also contain both the black and white sesame as well as the peanut .Well the first step is to twist the green tea leaves with cold water,then add the sesame and grind them until they become soupy .After that ,add the peanut and some extra stuff like caraway or something like that and continue grinding .This process lasts at least 15minutes ,so it might be a though work for those beginner .lThose whose do that at first time usually  exhaust themslve only after 2or 3minutes’ grinding .While a old-hand could finish that quite easily.

after grind that the whole work is half done .Just puring the hot water and add sugar or salt .And the traditional tea is salty.Anyway ,it’s up to you.
