what is the best water for tea, since ancient times, it has aroused people's attention and interest. Lu Yu once pointed out clearly in the book of tea: "the water is in the mountains and rivers, in the river and under the well. The mountains and rivers, pick up the spring, the stone pool overflow.

[b] mineral water [/b]
generally speaking, in natural water, mineral water is more refreshing, less impurities, high transparency, less pollution, water. The quality is the best. However, because of the different ways of water and flow, the dissolved substance, the salt content and the hardness are very different. Therefore, not all the springs are of high quality. Some mineral water is not suitable for human consumption, such as sulphur mineral water has lost drinking value.
[b] River and river water [/b]
tea water, although the mineral water is good, but the water, river water and river water and other long flowing water, used to make tea is also not inferior. Wanli Yang, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem describing the situation of tea in the ship's river water. In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Si Shu said in "tea sparse", "the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, and the turbidity of the earth is also pure, and the fragrance is spontaneous." It shows that some rivers are still drinkable though they are highly turbid.
usually near the town, river (River) water is liable to be polluted. In the Tang Dynasty "tea scripture", it was mentioned: "the river is taken away from the people." That is to take the river away from the place where people are away from people. More than a thousand years ago, environmental pollution is so common that many rivers need to be purified before drinking.
[b] well water [/b]
well water belongs to groundwater, and whether it is suitable for brewing tea can not be generalized. Some well water, the water quality is sweet, it is good water to make tea, such as the "great Pao well" in the east of Beijing's the Imperial Palace Museum. It was an important source of drinking water in the palace. Generally speaking, deep groundwater has the protection of water resisting layer, less pollution and clean water, while shallow groundwater is easily polluted by the surface and the water quality is poor. So the deep well is better than the shallow well. Secondly, the well water in the city is polluted and salty, and it is not suitable to make tea. The well water in the countryside is polluted less and the water quality is good, so it is suitable for drinking. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the famous "white sand well" in the city of Changsha, Hunan, which is a clear spring from sandstone. The water quality is good, and the long stream is endless, and tea is taken and the fragrance is good.

[b] rainwater and snow water [/b]
rain and snow water, the ancients are known as "Tianquan". The use of snow water to make tea has always been paid attention to. For example, "Rong Xue Decoction" in the poems of Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, the famous poet Xin Qiji in the Song Dynasty, "the thin tea Scripture boiled the fragrant snow", and the Yuan Dynasty poet Xie Zongke's "snow fried tea" in the poems of the Yuan Dynasty, "the night sweeping the cold and the English dusts", are all depicted with snow water to make tea. In "the dream of Red Mansions", "Jia Baoyu tasting the tea house in the cuiunnunnery", Cao Xueqin depicts a more vivid description: when Miao Yu about Bao Chai and smoked jade to eat "TIGI tea", Dai Yu asked Yu: "this is the rain of the old year?" The snow on the plum blossoms... The rain in the next year is so pure? "
rainwater is generally cleaner, but varies greatly due to different seasons. In autumn, the sky is cool, the dust is less, the rain is swimming, the tea tastes refreshing and refreshing. The plum rain season, the wind and the rain, is beneficial to the microbial growth, the quality of the tea is the second, the summer thunderstorm, often with the sand and the stone, the water quality is not clean, the tea tea soup turbid, unsuitable for drinking.
[b] tap water [/b]
tap water, usually through artificial purification, disinfection treatment of river (River) water or lake water. All tap water that meets the hygienic standard of drinking water formulated by the Ministry of health is suitable for brewing tea. However, sometimes excessive chlorine in tap water is used to sterilize, and the smell is very heavy. In order to eliminate chlorine gas, tap water can be stored in a cylinder and stored for a day or night. When chlorine is lost naturally, it can be used to boil tea again. The effect is quite different. Therefore, the treated tap water is also an ideal tea making water.
